I don't need a degree or knowledge of weird latin names for muscles to know that if a bloke sits out for a few weeks, is then sent into action for a half where my understanding is he was kicking on one side only at all costs, and then is ruled out with the original injury for five weeks, that something is amiss.
I could understand if they thought he was over it and he re-injured. But him kicking on his non-dominant side says that he, at least, knew he wasn't right - unless of course he's the football equivalent of Larry Bird and just wanted to kick left footed ebcause he was bored with kicking on his right.
Looking at that sequence of events, if you're completely comfortable with that scenario, fair play to you. To me that sounds like 1970s management - I'm half surprised they didn't just tell Laidler to run it off a few weeks ago.
The worse one was Jamo doing his memiscus and being allowed back on the ground.
Mind blowingly stupid . I have done one and it takes at least 3 months before you can run without pain.The only way to treat them is take out the torn bit leave as much cartlidge as possible as it wont heal because no blood supply goes to that part of the knee. He was sent back on 5 minutes later. Given the pain he experienced according to how he flexed his knee the medicos would have known it was probably a torn memiscus.
Interestingly it was against WC i think and we were getting beaten. And Jamo is our most important player IMO
When I heard about Walker's quad injury I thought . Here we flower go again. Quad injuries take a long tome to heal properly.
