It’s a type of double speak; let’s coin it ‘Richmond speak’, when it’s information about player injuries.Seriously, they have mismanaged several players, especially with hammies. Short looked like a standard hammy so much so that only 3 days ago Luke Meehan said this.
Jayden Short, hamstring
"Shorty's jumping out of his skin to get back, as everyone would expect. He's running, things are progressing really well.... We'll see Jayden back pretty soon.".
Now, in yesterday's presser with Mini, this is what was said. The reporter says; Short seems that his recovery might need to be pushed back a little bit, 4-6 weeks.
Mini said; With a hammy like that hard put to an exact time frame on it to start with.
He's just gonna build his build his rehab and it will be a little bit of that last couple of week period for him, it might go for 1 week or 2 weeks when he really gets back to the end of his rehab. He is progressing atm certainly been no setbacks for him and when he plays again it'll be just a wait-and-see at the end of his rehab.
For example;
“He is progressing atm certainly been no setbacks for him and when he plays again it'll be just a wait-and-see at the end of his rehab”.
Actually means: You will not see him play again for a very long time.
