Training For 2023

Disappointing to hear about Josh getting injured, hopefully its just a few weeks off for the kid and nothing serious and sounds to have had a good pre seaon under his belt.

That said he isn't what I would classify as a critical player in the side as of right now so come round 1 if he isn't there its not the same as not having Shai or Tom or Dion or Duz or Dylan.

Hopefully Josh is bouncing back in no time and its not a serious issue.

Training today:

Too flat to report today, Gibcus carried off by two trainers with non collision leg injury :mad: :(
If I am guessing maybe a bad high hamstring but I am no doctor hopefully not a knee.
As I mentioned could not put any weight on it and arms around trainers as escorted off.
Seems we have our answer. Not ideal but thank god it’s not a knee

Really not great, but better than a knee injury.

Going too hard with the dead lifting and in the squat rack probably! Did I read somewhere where he had put some size on in his upper legs and arse?

If it's a hammy tendon, that'll be surgery but if he's been smashing the leg and glute work it's not a huge surprise if it is and sounds initially that it more than likely is.

Hammie it is Dr Caesar. Well diagnosed.

Hopefully not too many more hamstrings to come. You can expect collision injuries but soft tissue injuries have the potential to derail a season if you get a lot of them.

Well - worst case for Gibs is 3 months rehab if it’s at the top end of the scale for serious hammies - maybe miss through to the bye as they would treat him carefully I would suspect.

Agree better than a knee though.

Thanks Caesar for the update

Yes a serious one at that, nearly looked like an off the bone one with the pain and assistance he needed.
Not good when surgery is being discussed and the power athlete he is.
Could be a big worry for him and us going forward :confused:

Perhaps that bulk he has put on has actually been detrimental to him.
Also good to hear Lynch had a surgical intervention on his plantar fasciitis as I suggested to you this morning.
