PRE-GAME [Round 20, 2023] Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Santa]

Meniscus - how many weeks is this likely to be? It has to be good if it isn't ACL.

If its tear, about 3 - 6 weeks...

quick search on Nrl Physio suggests 4-8 weeks

 

[Santa]

If its tear, about 3 - 6 weeks...

But after reading more, it can be months if it's bad.

Meniscus - how many weeks is this likely to be? It has to be good if it isn't ACL.

Usually 3 weeks

 

[Sproj]

Well let's hope it is best case scenario and 3-4 weeks because a fit and firing Oates adds so much to this side.

 

[Mustafur]

Oates having every injury under the sun this year.

 

[Sproj]

Oates having every injury under the sun this year.

He mentioned in the interview he did the other day that he puts this down to not listening to older players when he was younger and taking care of himself. He feels this might be why the injuries are starting to stack up.

Yeah I hear not listening to older players often lead to broken jaws. He should have known the risks.

 

[Broncapz]

No Ado-Carr.

 

[McHunt]

I wonder if Kevvie will continue with his centre interchange and elevate Jesse to the wing and Deine to bench?

With Oates out it makes that a bit harder because he probably had an idea of putting Oates in the backrow later in the game to relieve Capewell.

Maybe put Herbie in there. Works for me.

 

[Sproj]

Or Staggs

 

[Foordy]

Thompson just said during the commentary Oates is out for 6 weeks.

I'm not sure if he's guessing or has actually been confirmed

 

[Sproj]

Carrigan officially rested.

 

[Swordfish]

We need fresh & firing Patty for bunny hunting next week.

 

[The Boss]

Danger game no Patty, Payne, Reece, Tom and Oates plus they at Belmore

 

[theshed]

Going to be hard to win this one. Missing too many troops. This is the kind of game the rests solely on Adam’s shoulder to play smart enough to overcome the lack of metres
