Hastings out of 9s

[The '47ers]

Going in for an ankle clean out it seems.

Hastings to miss Auckland Nines http://yi.nzc.am/1t35M

As per the other thread I am hoping a number of other key players have some pre season ops just before the 9s but will still be available for round 1

Says he is available Rd1, which is the main thing.

Means he cant get a season ending injury at the 9s.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Hey can all our team play the 9's in a blow up sumo suit?

Love how every pre-season everyone's impressing at training.
Just once I'd like to hear the coach say something like Hastings has been a slug all pre-season so far, seriously he's brought nothing to the training paddock except misery. Hopefully the ankle clean out will be a success otherwise we're sending him back to Bondi!

Why aren't these "cleanouts" performed in October??? ....What an insane question

Maybe we are just old, maybe "clean out" means something completely different to the now generation .... code for de-tox or something.

That's a pity

Hopefully there is a flu bug going around that takes out 90% of the top 25 players a day before flying out for the 9's.
Myles and Brown seem super fit and should be able to fight off the flu to star in the 9's.

I think since pre season training is so intense, and the time when players lift the most weights in order to get big and strong for the season ahead when they back off the heavy stuff, a lot of little injuries become apparent that otherwise stay under control. Hence the sudden necessity to clean out knees, elbows, wrists etc during the training season...

For most part I think that's a good summary, but in relation to most of the minor ops....it's more like a niggling injury players hope will go away....realise it's not going to without going under the knife....make the decision to get it done now to be back ASAP early season rather then it effecting their game - as in Toms ankle in 2016....and also the fact it will likely become far worse mid season and for the run home.

I am with you
In my day we used to go for a short stay to empty out not clean out

They're all in vegas, Bali, Thailand ...

Yup - given our precarious situation with a largely new and untested squad we desperately need quality goal kicking options. Having the luxury of this guy plus Matty Wright means we'll hopefully snare a few wins in the tight ones.

Don't think the season is long enough to gamble. Is it the players call ?

Sources close to the team say this is more of a "let's keep the guy in Sydney under watch" kinda thing after the Coffs debacle.

Haha nice try ricardo.

Sounds like the last few years.
Injuries and more shocking luck . . and it's only Jan 21.

Premiers never have injury
worries - not in 110 years.

Last 20 years we had good
1st grade squads with virtually no injury dramas in 2008 & 2011.

'Nuff said.

Hope Hastings isn't down for long & has a good year.
And he is our new goalkicker.

If healthy, I really like our squad.

But I hate hearing "Manly injury crisis" in friggin january.

I had a clean out this morning. Felt great.
