Wallaby injuries recovery time frames

[waratahjesus]

Haven't seen enough of Dennis to know.
the guys here have been rubbishing Mumm
Mowen was a keeper in my view

dennis is better than mowen at 8 for sure, 6 is unproven but i think dennis is the stronger of the two in terms of general play. I think Dennis could become a wallaby, i have never got that impression from mowen.

Mumm had a bad year, but he has proven before he is a damn fine player.

u can, when someone falls on TPNs knee and it goes backwards and he sustains an injury from it, its not from doing weights in pre season, its from the impact of the fall.

when barnes gets knocked out, its from his head getting hit with an impact hard enough to cause a concussion, not from not doing enough yoga.

when drew dislocates his ankle due to being blocked in a run by higgers and having to step around him, its from his foot getting twited in the step, not a lack of aqua arobics.

do i need to continue?

I misunderstood what you meant by impact injury. Out of curiosity could you actually continue?

I can, will do so in the Tahs thread though, this is off topic.

Quade's out of hospital and has his eyes on a round 7, April 6 return against the Ponies:

SUPER Rugby champions Queensland are expecting prized five-eighth Quade Cooper to return to action two weeks earlier than expected after successful knee surgery.

The enigmatic Wallabies playmaker was expected to miss the first eight weeks of the competition after going down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament early in the World Cup bronze medal play-off with Wales.

But Reds coach Ewen McKenzie said Cooper should return before the halfway mark of the 2012 Super Rugby season after receiving encouraging feedback following surgery in Brisbane yesterday.

McKenzie said he would be targeting the round-seven clash on April 6 against the Brumbies as Cooper's long-awaited return.

The hardest part after a knee reco is getting your hamstring right (assuming that's where he's had the graft taken from). That and getting the confidence back to act like nothing ever happened.

The confidence thing is the issue. It's one thing to have your leg bent out of shape in a freak collision like Schmoo and get it back, doing something you do about 10 times a game resulting in the injury is going to be big for the guy. I was thinking about it today. The more I think about it the more I think he will not come back quite the same player. Potentially this will only mean a more developed passing and kicking game which wouldn't necessarily even be a bad thing for his overall game.

But if I were in his shoes I wouldn't be able to step again. But I'm mentally softer than him in all likelihood.

I'm constantly amazed, having done both mine, at how quickly and fearlessly these guys come back.
I have no doubt he'll be one to amaze me.

He went through a knee reconstruction 4 years ago & that didn't seem to hinder him, why would this one?
