I venture to guess that part of a positive response to such setbacks is being able to acknowledge and talk about it. Whatever future lies ahead for Paps I sincerely hope he finds a way to resolve whatever stress and beliefs he may have emerging.

Is it the same leg he injured previously ?
TBH, I don’t know what is a happy outcome from here?

Watched the replay on Kayo and it was Nas coming across landing on his leg. Didn’t see bone and couldn’t slow it right down but response was quick. Clean break bu the look. I’ve always felt Paps is a bit small. When you see Nas collect him, ouch.

Painful as.. Thank god for the whistles these days..
But he backs it up with talent to burn tho.
I think the grisly bit was under the sock. His leg looked very floppy on replay.
Anybody else but NAS and it may have been only a strain. The footy gods can be cruel...

He plays with zero self preservation, I'd be surprised if he's still playing into his 30s.
But then again, Foran is 33 and he just scored his career-first hat trick last week...
How unlucky is this bloke.He must have the work luck going,Turbo a close second

Pap’s should never of been playing in the middle, his game last week was good, good enough to slot straight back in at 1, Meaney was ordinary, (6,7 and 9 all ordinary) I get Meaney’s done the job all year, but Bellyache blundered on this one, oh well. I feel for Paps, not Melbourne, suck on the loss, you got hammered from the get go, literally.
Thought the donkeys were great, they gave Melbourne a dose of their own, played tough and their defence, outstanding, they’ll make the Riff earn their 3 peat, in fact I think they have the game to get the job done, their pack is awesome, their spine, probably the best in the comp, with size and pace across the backline, they will be very hard to beat.

Tyson Gamble gives him a good run. But yeah I can’t stand Walsh. And by the looks neither can a lot of opposition players.

I do t think his position was a huge contributor to the injury, was just bad luck. I actually thought he looked well off the pace last week and last night. Didn’t think he should have been playing tbh.

He was defending in the middle aiming up at front rowers, not ideal for literally the smallest man on the field, his all heart, too much so for his own good, his dynamic out the back, following the ball up, couldn’t understand what bellyache was thinking, there was noise in the media about Meaney deserving to hold his position, maybe bellyache heard it, maybe he made his own call, even so, if he did, it was the wrong one for mine.
