Cracked my ribs a few times while playing and the pain is extreme. While standing still youd hardly know anything was wrong with you. Once you walk let alone jog or run the pain shoots through you. Getting your arms up above your head is agony. I doubt Kosi would have trained if it was broken the pains to much especially if the cartledge between them tears as well. If its broken you can be strapped up and jabbed but Id guess youd keep that for a Grand Final and not a Monday training session.

Exactly. A cracked rib would preclude you from even light training.
Personally I think it's a ruse designed to shore up Presti's inclusion. MM would feel more comfortable about having Presti up against someone who wasn't right.
But I do tend to overthink these things.

looks like stanley for Kosi
Let us be honest, we have no idea who is going to run out on Saturday and better still, neither does Mick. LOVE IT!!!
I am confident that regardless of whom runs out, they will put in 100% so it is not of a concern.

The pain from a cracked/broken rib is breathtaking.
I cannot believe that Kosi was abel to come back on the field after half-time, let alone take some of those marks in the last quarter
if he had the damage that is now being spoken of.
I reckon we are seeing a 'major sting' designed to keep Liar and his henchmen guessing.
I reckon they've got no real idea of what our team will actually be.
I hope that when we do the pre-game warm up, not only the 25 are oput there, but
Armo
Steven
Lynch
Heyne
Miles
are also there!
It's only a fine to play someone who's not included in your named 25.

When I think about it , presume he would have to run in the heats earlier in the day (?), so regardless of whether he was ever going to play, to keep the mind-games going he will sacrifice back-to-back sprints for the good of the team ......
OK - edit - just saw the thread on Stanley out - all consistent with the mindgames and insurance....
What's the Point of it All?

Cracked a rib myself playing Rugby - it's incredibly painful. Anyone who says 'It's just a rib, he'll be okay to play', needs to get one of theirs broken - or even bruised - and see how they go.Thinline wrote:Guys...if I was a club that had a big blonde FREAK running around up forward I would probably propagate a little story about the big decoy bloke who runs around up there with him to deflect a little early game heat...
But that's just me.
NO ONE on their nelly could play a half of footy like Koz played with a cracked rib, minor or greenstick or whatever.
Has anyone here cracked a rib?
I did it in my rugby days twice.
It's ridiculously uncomfortable.
Koz was winded.
Quit boxing at shadows...
Nice one chopps....

WaggaSaint, whilst maybe one or two posters have mentioned the possibilty of Kosi playing with a broken/cracked rib, I think the majority have pointed out what Kosi has been doing so far this week as evidence he couldn't have such an injury.WaggaSaint wrote:Cracked a rib myself playing Rugby - it's incredibly painful.

So presumably, as someone who has had a cracked rib, you'd be in that group that says if Kosi is running and swimming then these stories must be crap.

No. They're just incredibly impressive.Dr Spaceman wrote:Something wrong with his bollocks nowmarkp wrote:I seem to remember him taking some ominously good grabs late in the game.
What bollocks.
Have you seen them? I recommend a look. Enormous. Well shaped. Weighty. In many respects the perfect pair.
