Goes right back to the 50s, 60s and 70s

Gleeson, Some gun ruck forward, Oakley, McIntosh

We’ve had bizarre luck with either career ending or performance effecting injuries

Ralph and Xav Clarke
Dogged by injury

Jason Cripps, Leigh Fisher

Then of course
Dylan Roberton

Then we pulled the trigger and moved on players due to injury
They went on to be successful elsewhere
Dean Rice, Joel Smith

Great player who did his ACL at the height of his career.
At that time players didn’t come back from that injury like today.

McKenzie was in career best form before breaking down, Hannebrey would still be playing if his body held up, McCartin concussion, Koby Stevens would possibly still be playing and the list goes on.
Dylan Roberton was at his peake when he went down.
