Just wondered if anything was said on Sky tonight about the seriousness of the injury?

To have him & Farrell out would be huge.

Peet said he doubts he'll be fit for the playoffs.

On WEP...

On Cust, head coach Peet said: “He’s injured his arm. He’ll need a scan, an x-ray. He could be (back this season).”

On Farrell, Peet added: “He’s got a grade one ACL and grade one MCL. He’ll be touch and go.”

Shouldn't have played him, wasn't worth the risk, Cust is a bit injury prone and wasn't worth risking in a nothing game.

How can Faz be touch and go with an ACL and MCL injury?

It means if you 'touch' Fazs knee he 'goes' to hospital.

I would have had Tommy starting in the playoffs anyway.

Sky mentioned that Brooks doesn’t think it’s too serious so fingers crossed he should be ok.

Easy to say, with 20/20 hindsight. We played a full-strength side, with a week off to follow. Good job we have Tommy available.

Because they're both grade ones. 2-4 weeks recovery.

I'd have rested any players not leaving at seasons end eg Field and Cust for starters.

Thanks - was just looking it up. Sounds like a tough call coming up. Obviously he'd need to get mobility back in time but may come down to whether or not there'd be any additional risk of more severe injury.

Fingers crossed on Cust and Farrell. It sounds more promising on Farrell then initial rumours. He looked no chance looking at him post game but presumably it’s the leg brace making him look worse than he is. He looked like prime Forest Gump shuffling around but maybe like Forest, he’ll go from that time to sprinting in no time.

Farrell will play in the grand final should we get there, Tommy had an MCL injury and was meant to miss 12 weeks and came back after 4 for the CC final.

Cust missing isn't as big a deal with TL back as it could have been.

Hope he is fit, but won't be too concerned.

Did you go tonight or did you boycott it because there was a rainbow flag on the program?

He won’t. He may need an operation yet.

He won’t. He may need an operation yet.

We showed our hand tonight, Tommy replacing O’Neill and Cust to hooker. We may have to rethink that scenario.

Who is leaving?

INOUT

I went fella, it was about key workers tonight and not where you put your pen15. Don't try derailing the thread.

Key workers? Too political for me.

All workers are important.

Keep politics out of sport.

And virtue signalling social agendas pumped by MSM. Minutes silences and applauses in the wake of something serious, no problem but rainbows, kneeling etc etc just keep it away. Keep sport what it should be. An entertaining escape from the rigours of every day life.

Grade 1 tears mean there is no serious damage and shouldn't require surgery.

Recovery time is variable as it depends on swelling, size of tear and stability of joint, and how much physio you can do while managing swelling.

Bit out of the blue and probably a bit unfair. People have differing opinions on things like this and cases can probably be made for all of them. I avoided getting involved last time but for what it's worth, my views are :-

Of course there is a racism and homophobic problem in this country as there are many other problems but they aren't a sport issue they are a social one. If somebody needs educating on the rights and wrongs of either crime then it needs to be done in a class room not in a sporting arena. As far as I am aware, the Keeling originated from the death of a villain in the US and ended up in our sport and as far as I am aware there isn't a pandemic of homophobia anywhere that has been reported, it's just being used as a tool like you see now on TV adverts. Agenda pushing has gone way too far, to the point where it appears the average working class white man doesn't appear to buy goods from companies any more. If the kneeling and rainbows etc are designed to be a preventative measure then why don't they just go the whole hog and have minutes laying down for speeding drivers, people not eating their greens and drug use. In my opinion the major cause of hate crimes is fuelled by lack of education, the empty headedness of young adults now is frightening. Drug taking is the root of all these evils in my view, it's illegal, it kills people and it fuels violence. I won't go too deep into it and won't say any more on the matter but those are my views and if people have differing opinions I think they should be respected for what they are.
