define fit?

31 with screws in his ankles isnt fit

On the park he would have to get injured (not be playing) for the NRL to look at it.

Sucks but we are stuck with him. Side note I thought he had the pins out in he off season?

 

[stevie013]

he doesnt have the screws anymore. he is as close to fit as he has been in about 5 years.

screws are out aren't they

 

[snowman]

if the plates are still in his ankles, then he has screws in them. pins holding his ligaments together would be different

 

[snowman]

unless he had the plates removed, still he looks like he has the turning circle of the titanic at the moment

 

[sharks2010]

I'm sure he got offseason surgery to remove all of that

 

[snowman]

i thought i only read pins removed.

he had bad breaks in his legs, i would be surprised if they removed the plates.

mine were less severe than his and i still have them.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Well what ever he's got, you can tell he's not the player he used to be.

 

[Gibs]

screws are out aren't they

He had surgary during the off Season, not sure if it was the screws gone or just the plate

 

[snowman]

if you remove the plate, then the screws are gone.

pins holding ligaments to bones are different

 

[MattyShArk]

if you remove the plate, then the screws are gone.

pins holding ligaments to bones are different

^^^^

Only had the pins removed

Plate and screws remain

After watching Holmes dance through the dogs defence in the 20's (yes it's the 20's and the defence is ****) I really feel like we are trapped with Gordon.

At his best he blitz past players with pace and anticipation of the play, if has no pace he doesn't really offer much as he isn't a natural ball player.

Hopefully he gets some speed back with a few more games.

Holmes needs to be in the top grade next year. Even startin him on wing till he get use to first then mid season he and Gordon can switch durin games then come 2016 he can be our fullback

dont get your leg confused with your head mate. thats where the plates still are.

 

[snowman]

I just put my balls on ur lunch

battered sav with meatballs.....

 

[sharks2010]

Holy **** lol

 

[Cesare6t9]

This was a disgrace. I do not care if we had half our squad out. These guys we put in were meant to show they want to keep their FG jersey.

The scumdog supporters have been abusing me and my sharkie mates all morning. It was horrid to watch.

Everything was done at snail pace in attack and god knows what was wrong with the defence.

 

[Sparkles]

The only one who understood last night's game was Gordon

I think you're all reading this completely wrong. Gordon is still recovering from off season surgery but injected himself into the game anywhere and everywhere he could to try to cover for the inexperienced guys. He must have taken over at numbers 6, 7, 3 and 4 for big chunks of the game, while still trying to do his job at fullback. His performance was all heart... its just a shame we didn't see everyone else stand up and commit to that level.

Holmes needs to be in the top grade next year. Even startin him on wing till he get use to first then mid season he and Gordon can switch durin games then come 2016 he can be our fullback

 

[snowman]

put into perspective, we were missing a fair chunk of first grade....

this is why i dont gloat when we beat the broncos at suncorp during origin rounds
