[Resurrected] 6 wks for Turbo and Walker (old news)

[joeboy]

Wow that’s quick, although we need him, I don’t want the risk associated with him coming back to early.

with turbo fit and firing we can surge back to the top 8. We certainly need some more points to get our differential back in the black. Points differential is gonna be massive in deciding positions4-10 this year, and we need a serious injection

walker could be a big in this weekend

Worries me as I seem to remember ( was it last year maybe ) he came back and a few weeks later was out again , or maybe my memory is fading.

This may be insanity but I don't care when Tom is back as long as he is back fit. I'd make him wait out until near the finals if that's what it took. Yes even if that meant we risked not making the 8. Cotton wool until the semis and if the rest can't get us there without him then so be it.

If we make the finals and our big guns are fit I don't care where we finish if it's inside the 8 we can do real damage this year. This is a very winnable year for a fit team.

The 1 positive I take is if they are eyeing off a return early that means his progress is going great. But surely we go ultra ultra ultra cautious with his return date. Imagine Tom rested and 100% at the back end of the season.

I don't know with Tommy - you're damned if you don't and damned if you do. Given his history of non-contact injuries, he could go down any time, really. Equally, he could be completely fine. Happy to leave it up to the medical experts. But it's nice that he wants to get back out there.

 

[47MVEagle]

yes he has one leg longer than the other from memory and so they gave him some sort of orthotic to even him up .Not sure how you would judge the success or not of that

I thought it was a case of him having one leg shorter than the other?

Seriously ???

No, that’s spot on.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Seriously ???

Yeah. Scans reveealed cause he is still growing he has slightly one leg longer than the other which can result in the hammy issue. He has special orthodics I believe and he has some sort of special training program which is why he was really frustrated. They thought they were on top of it.


The hope is he will grow out of it.

 

[Eagles2nv]

I dotn see us rushing back againt the riff who are on fire and will belt Tom. As much as we need him, we dont need more time on the sidelines.

The Warriors is better game to warm him back up.

Annoying thing is a 5 fro 10, we are going to hae to fight for a top 8 spot.

Stupid Forward pass and Funa non-penalty 😡

Getting belted doesn't seem to bother him. Running and changing direction does - which is what makes it so frustrating.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not sure how much we are paying our medical experts but they had a shocker. With such a costly investment like Turbo, why not pay for the very best medical advice?

Nah nah nah mate, I'm pretty sure the diagnosis was that he had one leg shorter than the other.

 

[Shoe1]

No, that’s spot on.

But it was a pec tear the second time

 

[Kevinward777]

But it was a pec tear the second time

Didn’t he do his hammy twice last season?

 

[Shoe1]

Didn’t he do his hammy twice last season?

Maybe you’re right. I can think of hammy and pec but a bit hazy

 

[Freagle]

I did see something on social
Media that suggested he had a donor hamstring put in. NFI how they do that, but perhaps have replaced the offending cartilage completely now?!

 

[Will on the hill]

Yep back 2 back hammies then the pec tear towards the end of the season.

 

[Kevinward777]

Yeah me too.

 

[Kevinward777]

Yep back 2 back hammies then the pec tear towards the end of the season.

Okay thanks.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Okay thanks.

I just hope the medical team know what they are doing.
