Raphael Clarke Injured?

[saint24601]

injuryupdate.com.au (usually a reliable source) lists Raphael Clarke as hamstring strain, estimated return round 11. It also lists Xavier Clarke as hamstring strain, out until round 10. Make of this what you will.

I will not comment on whether Raphael Clarke's supposed hamstring strain contributed to his performance against Richmond.

I will also not comment on whether I think had he not strained his hamstring (if he has) he would have been selecetd this week.

Now they put Raph in a bit back when X Clarke got injured and put the wrong Clarke in!!!! Raph is not injured.

This they have now fixed,. but the sloppy twits were too lazy to remove Raph's name.

Have a look at King...he in in twice!!!!!!!


This rubbish is typical of their efforts.

In the past they have often had plyers listed as injured when they were playing!!!

The site is a joke and should ALWAYS be treated with caution.

one can only hope that they are right this time, not that I am happy if he is injured (obviously, this is bad luck for the guy) but since his continual selection could only be attributed to either having "incriminating photos" of someone high up at the club or he carries Fraser Gehrig's brain onto the field, it makes it easier for the selectors.

oops I said I wouldn't comment.

I can sense the delicate caution and admire the courage you must have built up to come out with that. I'm not that brave i'm gonna be getting it from the player himself and wearing a bullet proof vest before i open my mouth on here.

I hope R.C doesnt read SOMEof the posts on here .Ive been disappointed in his career so far,but i though his last game showed real improvement .Encouragement never hurt anybody

I am assuming that your saintsational name is your membership #?
If so, I am sure that the Saints employees who regularly visit this site will be more than pleased to pass your best wishes on to Raph. Given that he could then access your contact details he, together with Fraser, may wish to pay you a visit and personally thank you for your support and kind wishes.

Indeed - another internet tough guy!!

[saint24601]

are they the same saints employees who's tawdry tale has been all over the newspapers in the last 2 days?

Are they the same saints employees who put the sign "reserved for 2008 premiership" in the trophy cabinet?

Is that the same Raphael Clarke who kicked to a contest with 10 seconds to go against Richmond and nearly cost us the game? Honestly, who kicks to a contest these days?

That clearly defines the term "supporter", doesn't it.
