Walker injury

[Mitch]

Barrett has said in his presser that Walker could have a fractured eye socket.

 

[HappilyManly]

Good, maybe he'll learn to play footy instead of fighting

The door didn't teach him unfortunately

 

[The Who]

Walker didn't fight. He just sledged.
If he is out for any matches then that should be taken into consideration when the NRL suspends Scott who must cop four to six weeks.
If not, what would the kiddies say?

I agree 100% - however long Walker is out (fingers crossed it's not a fractured eye socket) Scott should also be out as a bare MINIMUM.

Scott I predict will get a week and Dylan will get a 10K fine from Greenturd for allowing his eye to come into contact with Scotts fist, bad boy Dylan!!

 

[Mitch]

Looks like it could be Suli and Kelly in the centres with Taufua back next week. Hodko looks like a timely pick up.

Baz said in the presser that Walkz may have a fractured eye socket....

If true, he will likely miss some game time. Drs do not like players playing with fractured eye sockets as there in increased risk of blindness or brain damage (should bone get knocked towards the brain).

 

[BOZO]

Not another injury for God sake

So Lara Pitt is confirming that scans have confirmed he has a fractured eye socket. He will fly back to Sydney to see a specialist on the severity of the injury. You would assume it isn't going to be for a small about of time.

Such a good win. With more to look forward to with Hodgo at 6 and Walker in their Centres. I know Suli will do an ok job. But damn. It's soo frustrating

Who knows, he might learn something from the experience. I hope so because he is a gun player.
edit - probably wrong thinking, bit like blaming the victim, so I'll just say get well soon!

 

[Harvies elbow]

That's footy.

 

[winnyason]

Depends if he needs operation. We are lucky with suli playing out of his skin and it seems jorge is just about ready also.

 

[Haz88]

I was hoping at the time Baz was using the, could be a fractured eye socket to put some heat back on the storm ! But ffs if he does actually have a fractured eye socket.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Hopefully Scott goes to the judiciary and misses no small number of weeks as a result.

 

[frank stokes]

Hes a tough nut and its a part of the body that doesn't cop much punishment (although in walkz case he probably cops 32 face massages a game lol)...

I'm betting he has 1 week out, 2 max...

Well the odd belting was how mug lairs were "educated" in the olden days ......

So Curtis Scott can expect to be suspended for however long Walker’s going to be on the sidelines, then?

I mean, that kind of violence is a black eye for the game and all, right? What mother in her right mind is going to let her little darlings play rugby league after seeing that kind of reprehensible thuggery on TV? Won’t somebody please think of the children?!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Lara Pitt just tweeted, confirmed as a broken eye socket will be visiting Dr’s immediately the team arrives back in Sydney.

Sadly I expect he’ll be gone for 6-8 weeks!!

It might tell the kiddies 'not have a big mouth if you can't defend yourself'
