Dylan Walker injuries thread.

Great that Walker is coming along! Hope he gets back to his best soon.


Though the nrl is about to fine Manly for using "un-natural" and "inorganic" performance enhancing systems to improve Walker.

...Surgery

Based on the number of surgeries maybe Round 4 is optimistic

I am looking forward to seeing a greater Dylan Walker in 2018

After reading this article I would be amazed to see Dylan back 2 months into the comp. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst case scenario.

For anyone able to listen in or watch, Walks will be live in studio with TK and Laurie Daley on the BSB tomorrow morning. Would imagine he’ll give a pretty accurate update as to where his recovery is at.

However long it takes they should not bring him back too soon. We need him fully recovered physically and mentally.

After listening to him this morning, I think he'll be following your lead!

He said the surgeons are saying Rd 4/5. He'll assess how he feels in himself at that point. The main thing he said is that he finished the season last year feeling confident and 100% in his body prior to the injury and doesn't want to return any less than that.

Smart move.

Give him as much time as he needs, then some!!

Ha ha to your Dr Hibbert.....

Yep he's too important to risk and given he is a speed player it's critical it's not rushed back for long term damage.

PS Dylan took the time out before the Knights game to take a photo with my young fella who is 8 - we just asked for a quick photo but he did stay & have a quick chat with the little fella too. Dylan seemed a genuine guy who you'd wish all the best for.

SEA Eagles star Dylan Walker says having his first baby with his beautiful fiancee means the world to him.

The 23-year-old from Dee Why told the Manly Daily he was the youngest of eight and had always wanted to be a young dad and have a big brood of his own.

“I’ve always wanted to have a baby,” he said. “I’ve been blessed and lucky enough for it to happen and it means the world to me.”

Walker met 23-year-old Alexandra Ivkovic — an entrepreneur and swimsuit model with a law degree — through friends three years ago.

He said at first he had to work hard at convincing her to go out with him. “I fancied her — she’s a pretty girl and so I tried to impress her,” he said.

“She brushed me a couple of times at the start. She was playing hard to get but she finally gave in.”

If Ferris is posting that, than that is promising.

He wont be their this week, but sounds like he could line up rd4.

Our right side has been missing his attacking prowess. Will be great to see him back.

He gave freely of his time with my son too at the trail in Gosford recently. Thanks Dylan - we were impressed!

Lets not expect too much from Dylan when he comes back to firsts. He's had a nasty couple of long term injuries and they often take half a dozen or so games to regain the confidence in the body. I wouldnt rush him back into firsts. Give him a game or two to find his legs in the Reggies then bring him back. I know that wont happen but expecting the form of last year straight away is naive

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Definitely give Dylan all the time he needs to recover before playing a match (reserves or first grade).

Steve Matai missed a fair chunk of the start of the 2011 season after smashing Mick Ennis in the face with his shoulder at the end of the 2010 season. He came back so fresh and was killing it upon his return, and we all know how the 2011 season ended. Although returning from injury instead of suspension, Dylan Walker's return could be reminiscent of Steve's.

I'd like to see Parker get 2 more weeks at centre if he goes good again this week and give Dylan a couple of halves in reggies to work his way back in.
I like Parker filling Dylan's spot while he moves to fullback if Tom gets picked at origin time.

Some great news from journo Scott Bailey:

Hearing Dylan Walker will be named to return at centre for Manly this weekend, which will allow for a reshuffle given Tom Trbojevic's ankle injury. #NRL
