Injuries? : Sun Apr 26, 2009 4:21 pm  

Looks like today's game may have come with a high cost:

Briers - hamstring
Riley - had his thigh iced @ the end of the game & was limping
Harrison - didn't come back on in the 2nd half

Has anyone got any news?

Briers looked like he was walking ok at the end so hopefully that'll be nothing.

Flipping heck it didn't look like nothing when he came off!

Briers seemed to get better. He was obviosuly injured, but what looked initially like a hamstring tear, may well just be a pull. You'd imagine he'll be a doubt for next week.

Riley was injured the entire second half pretty much, and soldiered on. God knows Harrison, he took a bang. Grix shrugged off a second half injury too. That's SL nowadays, rough & tough.

Briers looked like he had cramp too me,

Briers didn't look too hot at all. Riley seemed to shake it off and finished with a strong try. Harrison might have been left off as a result of the clash of heads?

Harrison said as he came off that he couldn't focus - the bang to the head obviously left him groggy. The lad played on for 10 minutes and probably shouldn't have. Hopefully though a few days will see him right.

Harrison seemed to be holding his left arm as he walked off .

Briers was walking fine by the time he got to the bench.

Hopefully he will be ok for next week.

Harrison looked ok when he came on the field at the end.

Still in kit, so they must have been considering bringing him back on if needed in the 2nd half.

Briers could be out for the season or he could be fine to play now - that's just the way he is, he always looks in agony.
