The question was put to Chris Chester last night regarding the injury and he said reports saying that Campese has cruciate ligament damage were untrue, however, they would have a clearer indication of when he may be ok to play again after they have spoken to a specialist today (Friday)

Sounds ominous to me, especially if the quotes in the HDM from Chester are accurate. The bit about it could just be bruising but TC thinks its worse sounds like a long one.



Bottom line is we'll have to go with Kelly at 7 and probably Blair at 6 which I am far from impressed with. I'd rather go with Marsh at 6 and allow Blair to play his more suited role in the SR. Blair looks to slow and pondersome in the halves to me.



Don't see how we could bring in Drinkwater or has the overseas rules been completely forgotten about?



This could be a bit of a disaster going into the middle 8's with an undersized pack and a lack of our captain and main playmaker.

I reckon we may hear something on sports talk a little later today, hopefully it wont be as bad as it sounds.

Funny things knees, I once injured my medial and it took about 4 or 5 weeks to heal, where as about the same time a close cousin of mine thought he had done the same but it turned out to be just a strain and was back playing after about 3 weeks.

I'm not sure who I would like to see replace Terry Campese if he is out for a while but I'm of the same opinion as you, I would rather see Blair stay in the SR and look at other options for TCs replacement

Given the luck or lack of it Rovers players have had with injuries this and past seasons.you tend to fear the worst .

Let's hope it is an injury he can recover from within a short time

could he not be de-registered to register someone else? if the case is tc was out for the season or whatever

Looked fairly innocuous and didn't he walk off? Surely if it were something serious he'd have been carried off. Although I don;t want you to do well, I enjoy seeing good quality players in SL so hopefully he isn't seriously injured and he's back soon

I did my cruciate and not only walked off but played half the second half I've never played again though

We never know the full extent of injuries because I'm guessing it's down to Chester he doesn't let on the full extent of what is going on but for me what has been said reading between the lines it doesn't look good hope I'm wrong because he has been a sensation from day 1

mirrors and screens springs to mind, what ever hope its not a bad injury,

Mirrors and screens? Not heard that one, enlighten us

No need to drift away from this subject. Do you enjoy trolling on our board everyday?

It's all he has in his life.
