Doc said in A&E that for the next two weeks I'd be pleased it was ligaments and not broken, but for the next two years after that I'd wish it had been broken.'"
Sorry to hear that mate, but I really hope that the injury to Heath doesn't have any underlying repercussions as we near the busisness end of the season when he has recuperated from his injury. |

| They should get a third opinion. THey might find this time it's just a bruise and he can actually play this week 
In all seriousness, those who slag off the club for not giving accurate information on player injuries will surely be eating a little humble pie around now? A lot of clubs would have kept this news to themselves, then surprised opposition by bringing the player back earlier than anticipated, so that they hadn't prepared properly for him. Naming no names of clubs there of course. Our club has give the fans a bit of good (or at least less bad) news instead. |

I'll leave this to people far more qualified than me because I've suffered broken bones that healed quickly but I once broke a small bone in my wrist - that didn't even hurt really and only went to casualty because I was told to - and had a cast on for 16 weeks because the blood supply wasn't very good.
On the other hand I've heard that ligament damage is often worse than a fracture but I really don't know. If the club are releasing press statements saying it's less bad news then I'll drink to that!

With L'Estrange injured let's hope that if Diskin will play the full 80 that he doesn't get injured!

Few years ago now, Mick. All fine now.
Whilst Heath is definitely in our best seventeen players (probably best seven, let alone seventeen) a team with an 80 minute hooker does get a lot more options on the bench. |

Agreed! I don't really need to know hour by hour gossip and would actually prefer to keep it under wraps and surprise the opposition on the day.
Anything to give the team the upper hand is ok by me. Why are we so obsessed with all this heresay and information all the time? Damn Twitter!
Just let the team get on with things.

Shame you don't know the actual circumstances of what happened, and why the announcements were made as they were, as you would almost certainly not have posted what you did. As far as I can determine, there was no fault attaching to either club or player. The fault lay elsewhere.

Confirmed that he never had a fracture to his ankle, but still got his in a boot for the next 2 week, then light training will start.
Could be at least a month till we see him back

| It's a good job this has been confirmed again. I thought the exact same story and discussion on the other thread was just a wind up.
Edit: And now it's been merged so my comment looks stupid! |

It's great news for the club! Most of our injuries are now 4/6 weeks or less which is really positive

You may wink, but that's a ridiculous attitude. Apart from the fact that the Bulls are damned if they do give quick info, and damned if they don't, what are you implying - that they gave out info which they had no reason to believe? Like, just to say something, anything?
there were already people on these forums having a go at the Bulls for allegedly not being straight when the rumours of it being a fracture came out, contrary to the Bulls initial press release. They can't win with some folk. Seems to me perfectly clear that they were just passing on to the fans the state of the injury as the medicos were telling it to them, which I for one appreciate. Oh and diagnosing fractures from X-rays is not an exact science.
