Re: Holmes and Maher
Oli himself explained it well on the 6till8 debate the other day. He says he was having a bit of trouble with his rotary cuff, he was taking injections, but he was starting to feel some pain and though they were wearing off. He went for the scan and it turns out, he’s done more damage than he thought. Apparently, the muscles around the joint become loose and never really heal, an operation sorts this out. It’s unfortunate, but you can’t directly blame it on him going to play for England in PNG. It’s just one of those things.
Re: Holmes and Maher
Credit to him playing injured you can not blame the lad for playing great job
Re: Holmes and Maher
Lets be honest how can anyone begrudge a player for representing his country its what people dream of injurys happen just gives chance for some one else to step up till hes back
Re: Holmes and Maher
Just goes to show, they get injected to play through the pain for the club (and country in the case) to then only realise the damage they have done after the painkillers wear off. Neither club nor player at fault, it’s the game we love, it’s brutal!

Reminds me of a story Mal Reilly told about Andrew Johns in the Grand Final for Newcastle.SREGITSAC wrote:Just goes to show, they get injected to play through the pain for the club (and country in the case) to then only realise the damage they have done after the painkillers wear off.

Johns was struggling with cracked ribs and wanted to come off. Mal told the Doctor to get onto him and give him a pain-killing injection because no way was he allowing him to come off. Inadvertently the Doctor in giving pain relief for his ribs, punctured his lung. Mal was livid when he had to come off, but still told Johns the only way we are going to win is with you on the field. The rest is history as Johns made a break when every one expecting a drop, and sent one of his mates in for the winning score. Heroic guy who gave all for his mates.

To finish last in the Tour de France, first you must finish.

Same as this years nrl grand final cronk played with a broken shoulder blade, that which you would incur in a car crash, for a full 80 mins plus the previous game.
Unbelievable from any player to do that
