They may have been actually - but its been reported that he does have problems with the shoulder

I think it was his knee because on sky when we played Rovers it was pointed out that his knee strapping was restrictive.

Not sure about Berro byt Yeamo they are waiting for the swelling to go down first.

A dislocation normally leaves the joint weaker and more prone to further dislocations. And every time a dislocation happens, it gets weaker. Repeated dislocations have been known to finish a career, as eventually the joint becomes so weak that it can pop out under no pressure at all. Operations can sometimes help, but over time the joint just gives out.

And hasn't Berro already had a shoulder reconstruction shortly before he joined us?

The medical advice may well be to wait a bit before making a decision. Or it may be ambivalent. All operations are a balance of risk and benefit after all.

If they've been told that an operation might help but has only a small chance of success, they (and the player) may be weighing up other options.

Seem to remember something about a shoulder problem a few years back and did he also not have some surgery in the last off season???

Either way its a big blow to him and could potentially ruin his upcoming off season.

It wasnt a full reconstruction was it, i thought it was a bit of a clear out - could be wrong though, [size=59I normally am![/size

Don't worry , theres always 2011...

Yes he had it cleaned out in Aus

And get the players to make there own way there at there own expense

Can it really be down to bad luck?

I'm pretty sure Berrigan had a very serious shoulder injury early in his career at the Broncos, I believe he's had major problems since then. At the Bradford game early this season, it looked like he had suffered a bad injury then - I believe that was his shoulder.
