Why do you think Thorn, a player who moved not just teams, but codes and representative countries throughout his career, would hold it against him and freeze him out?

I’ve been completely unsure of Stewart but the NRC has gradually brought me round. I’ve been concerned that Reds didn’t have the right personnel to be building him but this may have changed with McKay. I just hope they let him develop, and use, a rugby brain rather than working to formula.
In short, I completely agree with Sully here. A backup for Stewart, not Stewart as back up in 2019.

depends, but at least 5 and possibly longer than 6 months. probably means most of next years super season gone.

i believe about 6 months, however Tuttle is young and resilient and I suspect will approach rehab with a very dedicated approach so could shorten this time by up to 6 weeks.
Anywhere up to a year. The earliest returns are around the six month mark.
One third of professional athletes never return according to a study of US athletes (NBA and NFL mostly).
is that what they are officially known as? Seems appropriate.
Well that's devastating for Tuttle as I am a fan and thought he'd be our 9 (and we could utilise his goal kicking). Thankfully we have excellent depth there. McDermott to me the man for me with Sorovi as back up. Third place up fro grabs between Harry Nucifora and perhaps Phoenix Hunt, assuming Scott Gale will be hanging out with the stupids in the US
Study. Apparently I need more coffee.
Slipper did his in March 2017 and whilst he was in the Wallabies squad for the Barbarians game at the end of October 2017 (7 months after injury), he didn't play.

I probably would have had Sorovi overtake Mcdermott last year. It is a position where Qld rugby is pretty well served at the moment. all 4 NRC 19 halves were very good.
An Achilles is a really tough injury however Tuttle does not rely on explosive speed so he might be Ok when he get back. Kobe Bryant was never the same after his and with all due respect to the Doctors over hear I am sure he got the best advice possible.

Darius Boyd snapped his in Dec 2014 and was back running in March with his first game back in May. Fairly sure Hodges had a similar recovery period. So, that's inline with the 6-9 month period.
Absolutely. If there are no setbacks players can definitely return in 6 months.
Boyd returning in 5 months is a remarkable recovery.

Anyone know who played 15 between Pini's and Latho's time?
A guy called Tim Horan.
This place has all the information you need.

That's unreal, pass on my thanks to the team (and the interns) that went through to do that.
Also,
Was Flatley the only bloke who could kick out of that backline?

Whether thorn is right or wrong with his approach, I do actually admire him taken a strong position and sticking by it as at least consistent and maybe a old school hard nose approach is what is required to make reds great again. This is why I have found it hard to critise his position on Quade as he knew it would be controversal but stood by his belief on what was best for the team. Same with his position on drugs and hunt / slipper as hard to actually criticise someone taking a zero tolerance position on this and this is someone who would have loved hunt given another chance let alone slipper.
