21 MAN SQUAD v EELS

[roostermcgregor]

Detached retina is not good and I can say that from personal experience (been through it)
If its surgery, they drain the eye of the fluid , go into the eye with instruments, and stick (glue) the detached retina back against the eyeball (also done with laser fusion)
.It can happen to athletes when they they get hit in the eye - the impact forces the retina .loose from the eyeball.
In older people (like me) the lattice holding the retina against the eyeball can deteriorate, causing the retina to come loose.
Good thing about the procedure is that with the laser treatment, the retina is firmly attached , and its probably stronger to what is there naturally (so unlikely to happen again)
As long as they get to the detachment before it gets to the macula, your vision isn't impaired
But the procedure, and recovery, isn't the most pleasant thing in the world.

Haha true to be fair they probably were expecting a few more roosters in their squad this year than they’ve got - they are probably busy signing new players up from Ron Massey cup!

They are doing well considering, with the flow on effect on them.

Definitely mate - hopefully they do get a few chooks back late in the season (healthy and more experienced) and can have a good shot at the title

Just hoping for an injury free run for Lammy now....he's due! Credit where it's due to Hutch, he has given it a red hot crack.

Not expected back before Round 14. Very reliable source.

As luck would have it...we won our two
premierships in 2018 and 2019 ...hooray!
...before Covid struck and our injury toll soared.

On NRL360 they said Verrills will undergo surgery tomorrow and expected to be out between 4-10 weeks.

[roostermcgregor]

Round 14 return would be right.
The first week or so after surgery is spent lying down in bed, face first with your head in a pillow.
You need to be in that position day -in - day our , until your eye fills up with fluid again.

Sounds absolutely horrible.
The things players go thru to play the game are astounding.

Any rewards they receive are hard-earned and richly deserved.

Could be laying face down for between 1 to 2 weeks - 2 to 4 weeks to recover before returning to normal activities

The recovery timeline depends on multiple factors, such as the person’s overall health, the exact surgery performed, and how they approach the post-surgical period.

Far out....poor bugger he's only just finished his last long drawn out rehab and recovery.

Not correct. He had his surgery this afternoon.

[Hawkeye]

Damn what a crazy season guys -

Crazy season ? I would've used another C word ...absolutely a C of a season !
