Quote: Fishsta "No, YOU try reading it. I'll highlight the part you need to understand.
[iInjury Update
Wakefield prop James Stosic has not broken his eye socket as was first feared following Friday’s win at St. Helens.[/i
Whilst the medical world doesn't necessarily differentiate, the "generally accepted" terms used do. A break is understood to be a more severe fracture, usually at the point where a fracture is considered to be compounded and bones actually separate.
Also note the dates. All the articles above I quoted were issued around the 24th/25th. The Wakefield article you quote was issued on the 20th. Between those dates, Stosic attended a specialist, and as John Kear relays to the media, "[iThese things happen. The specialist has said he won't damage it any further so he'll get his shirt and his boots on and get out there. They play with worse than that![/i"
Wakefield issued that statement to the relief of their fans, and, to be fair to them, for the RFL's benefit in deciding to let Cunningham get away with another cowardly act of thuggish violence.
If it HAD been BROKEN, that would probably have been the end of Stosic's season.'"
I think you should read the press release again, instead of believing what you want to believe.
According to the press he
did not have a broken eye socket and there is no, repeat
no confirmation that he has fractured it either.
