Ok so it has been bloody hard to keep up with who's injured and who's due back when so I thought we would try to get a list going of all injured players and their due date back. If you have any additions just list them and we will keep updating. Let's only go as far as Super contracted players, either this year or next:

Reds:

Digby Ione - back for 2nd Tri Nations?
James Horwill - knee - season?
Rodney Davies - hamstring - back in August
Scott Higginbotham - back very soon
Van Humphries - ankle - season?, out for at least 10 weeks (Sept/Oct)
Will Chambers - shoulder - season?
Will Genia - thumb - back for first tri-nations?
Jake Schatz - something foot related - early August.

Tahs:

Adam Freier - ?
Al Baxter - season?
Benn Robinson - back for first tri-nations?
Tatafu Polota-Nau - season?
Will Caldwell - forever?
Wycliffe Palu - season?
Dan Halangahu - shoulder - season ?
Phil Waugh - knee - season?

Brumbies:

Ben Alexander - season?
Christian Lealiifano - season?
Francis Fainifo - ??
Peter Kimlin - season?
Stephen Moore - back first tri-nations
Stirling Mortlock - season?

Force:

Justin Turner - season?
Scott Staniforth - ??

1. Isn't Sekope Kepu injured still? He's a Deans favourite so he would have got a call-up otherwise.
2. Waugh has an injured knee, could be season. Reported by Topo
3. Hangers is supposedly out for the season with a shoulder injury, same source.
4. I thought it was reported elsewhere that Douglas was injured too, but short term.
5. The Force hooker who got a neck injury, can't recall the name, out for the season, maybe longer.
6. Not a S15 squadie (yet) but Vickerman is also reported as injured.


In the case of the Tahs and Reds lineups it would have been easier to list those who were still standing. The quantity of injuries as a proportion of the S14 squads is very high and appears to be higher than the AB's and SB's. Suggests we are awefully unlucky or there is something lacking in our physical preparation. If its the latter, which I suspect, then its across all Aussie squads.

Van Humphries - season? - is out injured for at least 10 weeks
Will Chambers - season? - gone for season, only had shoulder surgery last week

A. Fainga'a trained freely with the Wallabies last week - understand he's going to play club rugby this weekend.

Rod Davis - understand he's playing club rugby this weekend.

@Ruggo, yes Higgo will be right for part of the trinations if not all of it, needs to get fitness back but apparently Robbie has touched base with him over the past month

@Austin, Rodney Davies just tore his hamstring again, out injured till August

Just a few hours later Davies, who tore his hamstring after scoring a blistering try for the Queensland Reds against the Hurricanes on May 7, tore it again while training with University club in Brisbane for his return to club football on the weekend.

Horne is not injured as such and was replaced last Saturday for precautionary reasons. It seems he has some on-going problems that will need to be sorted out. I guess he is a bit like TimTam before he got his 'gluteal activation' sorted out and stopped pulling 'strings.

Thanks for this Noddy!

Hawko - you mean Ryan Tyrell by the Force hooker I guess. I think he may be forced to retire.

Turner is definately gone for this season. Bigger question mark is if he will be gone for a lot of the next as well.

If Vickerman ever makes a comeback at a high level, I will be surprised (edit: not because he is currently injured, but his being injury prone is just one of the myriad of reasons).

I cry a little inside when I hear about fast backs tearing their hamstring. And then doing it again next time they run.

Higginbum would be a walk up starter in my mind - this is under the proviso that he is fully fit however.
