Waite

Something I've read and heard a lot from here and in the media is that next year Waite will be back and all will be rosey. But what are the chances that when he returns, he'll actually (ever) be as good as he was before his knee went? Is it too bold to simply assume he'll come in and dominate again?

I'm gonna go get some anti-depressants.

Or you could just say "yes, he'll be better than ever" and have no need for pill-poppin' :thumbsup:

.. ..ppl tend to come back better nowadays, but i reckon it's always a bit of a test after the first time, to see if it'll hold up.. ..but every year the recoverys are smarter, and he's been able to give it plenty of time..

Ive thought about this also, but modern football has seen many players come back strongly from season-ending injuries, the medical treatment is quite advanced these days.

But yeah, fingers crossed he gets his freakish playing ability back, gee we could have used him on Bradshaw last week :oops:

How's Bradshaw been going after missing a season with a Knee reco :?:

I think he will be fine, it wasn't as bad as other knees that have been done, there was debate if he even needed a reconstruction. Also his preperation seems pretty spot on from what I gather, so no worries there. Imagine how Lance would have gone recovering from
knee reco?

How high did the Birdman fly after his reco?

Don, he will be good our Waitey in 2010 and will rip Richo another one in Round 1. :thumbsup:

Good things come to those who Waite........................

(sorry)

Depends on how hard he works on his rehab. I'm sure Waitey will be back better than ever.

He'll come back, I just hope that he still has all his athleticism.
Players are coming back from knee recos better than ever, Birdman is a prime example :eek:

, but i am sure the strike rate isn't 100%. Fingers crossed Jarrad isn't part of the bad stats part!!! :yikes:

I'd be more concerned with Warnock than Waite. Waite has proven to be a pretty durable player during his career, Warnock has not and is just as critical to our structure going forward. We have invested heavily in him.

Where did you get that from? Waite's had his fair share of injuries 2004, 2006 and this year were lost to injury.

Synbad said Waite will come back better than ever because in the last three years no guys coming back from knee recos have been duds. :razz:

I hope he's right. :smoking:

In comparison to Warnock he has been pretty durable. He has played 115 games out of a possible 154, Warnock has played 21 out of 88.

I am more concerned with Warnock hopefully he can string some seasons together and not just games.
