Can definitely break it twice in the same spot. Rehab guys would have done all the tests and impact training. No doubt he passed all his tests or he wouldn't have been out there . It's just bad luck and all the conspiracy theorists should get a grip. It could also have been a different spot altogether. If his bones aren't strong enough up there he probably needs to get on the Panther juice and put some extra bulk up there.
Perhaps,
however to break on first return in a nothing tackle does sounds like a poor decision to risk him for mine.
This is compounded on the decision to try "a maybe self healing" program on CG , when a prudent decision maker given the choice
a) a self healing program during sept-dec 2023 with a 50 % chance of success. If unsuccessful needs to operation early 2024 , miss most of the season
or
b) operation in sept 2023 , maybe miss a couple of early rounds of 2024 , maybe no Las Vegas
Souths are a joke at the moment .......
1) our end of 2023 season performances , which my view highlighted a lack of Halves depth
2) our recruitment and development programs of the past couple of years , AGING squad with minimal successful recruitment/development
3) questionable injury management program highlighted by number of recent injuries
4) Sam "blowout" end of season , losing two assistant managers and only NOW replacing one of them with Furner
5) LM discipline issues
6) performance of our junior teams
7) performance of our woman's teams and our inability to lodge a successful application to enter the WNRL since it inception
8) What is our HOME ground fortress? I am OK if it is a good deal at HomeBush and we play ALL our home games there , however we take home games to Perth , QLD , Gosford and now discussion on the Moore park for future with the right deal . I do not care where we play , just ensure ALL home games are there and build a fortress mentatility.
9) We get a centre of competency , and same as our HOME ground fortress , how many time have we trained elsewhere , because we have taken home games / Las Vegas away. Centre of competency should support a STABLE , consistent team environment to build team
Sorry to say it , it makes me want to spew .... however I have to admire the Roosters
They have a spanking new fortress, consistent training , play their home games at home, recruitment program aggressive , depth in fullback and halves and willing turn over inconsistent halves performance , woman's team and have remained competitive since their poor 1960's season .
The buck stops with our leadership ......... Rusty please sack the lost of them , bring in Richo to overhaul our rebuild . This is not about sacking JD , this is about a total overhaul .
We currently stink
