Injury Updates (Part 1)

So Jones’s ankle was at 90 degrees last night but he’ll probably be back before Rids?

Defender Jordan Ridley suffered a high-grade hamstring strain in the second quarter and was subbed out of the game before half-time. While scans today confirmed the injury, which will sideline him for several weeks, he has also avoided the need for surgery.

This is the same sort of release they did for Caldwell.

I wonder if people will be so easily confused by it again.

Jon Ralph.

On what basis?

May well be right anyway.

Edit. Ah I see the channel 9 report

Could be, sounded like Ralph was just guessing.

2 months for Ridley according to Ch9 news…

Ridleys made of tissue paper like Parish

wtf !

any chance you could just do a minor soft tissue rids?

I thought his career was over

i’d say 8 weeks for Rids closer than what we would be saying … poor bugger can’t take a trick

Same timeline as Archer with his high grade hammy.

Based on form it should be.

You don’t dislocate your ankle, without damaging your ankle ligaments.

There is no way Jones is back in 4 weeks lol

I thought his leg might fall off

Unlikely he plays a blinder but still very likely Scott thread will explode anyway!

Biggest concern here was the nothing incident where he did it. Incredible he can do a high grade hammy from sweet fa.
