Quadriceps Injuries: Quadricep Injury Symptoms and Treatment
What is a quadricep injury?

An injury to the quadriceps femoris muscle or its tendons . The quadricep femoris is a large muscle at the front of the thigh. The muscle, tendon and their attached bones comprise contractile units that stabilizes the hip and knee and allow their motion. A strain occurs at the weakest part of the unit.

What types of quadricep injuries are there ?

Quadricep strains are of three types;

A mild or (grade I) strain, which is a slightly pulled muscle without tearing of muscle or tendon fibers. There is no loss of strength.
A moderate or (grade II) strain, which is a tearing of fibers in a muscle or tendon or at the attachment to the bone. Strength is diminished.
A severe or (grade III strain), which is a rupture of the muscle tendon-bone attachment, with separation of fibers. A severe strain may require surgical repair. Chronic strains are caused by overuse. Acute strains are caused by direct injury or over-stress.
What muscles are involved in a quadriceps injury?

The specific body parts involved are the quadricep femoris or its various tendons. The Femur(thigh bone), patella (kneecap) or tibia(large lower legbone) are also involved in quadricep injuries. There are also soft tissues surrounding the strain, including nerves, periosteum (covering of bone), blood vessels and lymph vessels.

Does not sound good, get him signed .

I can imagine him coming big powerful 2nd rower this is what we need, persoally id rather see Ben Westwood come to us.

But this is what one of the paper said about Snitch ..

"Regarded as one of Great Britain's next generation of top forwards"

Good, he'll fit right in then with a few players we have :dance:

[WHELDON-ROAD-END]

I wonder if Sargeants decided to give up the English game before he's even come.

Apparently he is a solid player but is struggling to find a team, I would think he will give the game up if he doesnt get an NRL contract

A few quotes from League HQ.com re Costigan:

"Costigan aggravated a torn quadricep in the Raiders' round one loss to the Newcastle Knights. Now he's match-fit, he wants to stay that way."

"Costigan made a huge impact in the small amount of time he spent on the field at WIN Stadium last Sunday"

"Costigan's defence and strong ball-carrying skills would be vital.."

"I'm just trying to get through the games with no injury, I'm not really thinking about the future. I'll let my manager think about that and maybe at the end of the season I'll try and start thinking about that," he said yesterday."

Thats a no then!
