Koisi may have a broken rib...

[saintsRrising]

According to Glen Jakovich

Claims he broke it that bump against the Dogs when he copped a big bump.

[SainterK]

He seemed OK on Monday, very happy, running freely?

[plugger66]

Hope not but very strange 2 talls as emergencies.

I wondered the same thing when watching the replay. I guess they'll strap him up and he'll still play.

With Rhys able to play as a key forward....but not yet good at bodywork in the ruck...

If the rumour is right...hopefully is just a minor crack..... Rhys may just bea plan B in case Kosi wakes up sore on sat.

[perfectionist]

Even if true, he still has 23 that aren't broken, so he'll be fine.

I would think so...as long as it is justs crack...and nota clean break.

If his rib is actually broken there is no way he could play. Hopefully a poor rumour.

[derby Street]

Went back on and played a fair few minutes after it. Surely they would not have risked him with a busted rib poking out of his jumper ??

[SainterK]

I really hope he is OK, he was so incredibly upbeat on Monday, we need him.

but it could've flaired up the next day, scans may have shown up something also.

dunno......

If he had broken his rib, he would have had great difficulty in raising his arm.
Liam Pickering who is his manager immediately denied the claim.

Is that Dr. Glen Jackovich from the University of Whatdoiknow?

[kaos theory]

He played on without discomfort after the hit. In the last qtr took a good grab, streaching overhead....he couldn't do that with a broken rib...

looked fine at training too

[saintnick12]

Watched the replay again today. I remember at the time when he went off they were saying he was heavily winded and was vomiting.

He played much better in the second half after the knock and had many more strong contested plays. Surely not possible with a broken rib. Then again, apparently at least one, if not two of the dogs players ended up with broken rib too apparently. Who knows. Fingers crossed this is just a rumour. THere's always rumours in GF week.

Yep, that should put this rumour to bed.

Some of the things he was doing post-bump would've been pretty difficult with a broken rib.

Surely we would've seen him grabbing at it if he was in pain, which he should've been with a cracked bone in his rib-cage, no?

True. There was footage of him rubbing it on the bench, but you would do that anyway during the game if you'd just copped a big hit there. Doesn't mean there was a break. And surely McEvoy wouldn't be out with Kosi in doubt.

That's right. Kosi's second half was a lot better and his mark in the last quarter on the wing was taken on the stretch. Couldn't do that with a broken rib. I reckon he was just winded and Jackovich is a wa**ker!

and if stanley comes in he has not played for 5 weeks i think.

Not really strange to have 2 talls listed. The only other two he had listed as emergencies over the finals are Armo and Steven and going by the game time Ross gave them, they were only making up the numbers. Same with Stanley. Geary is ahead of them.

Liam Pickering who is his manager immediately denied the claim.

and liam pickering would say that as Kosi is his client. You can't use Liam saying that as gospel

[Bernard Shakey]

Since when has Glen Jackovich known anything about footy?
He could play, but knows nothing about the game as a commentator.

If Kosi had broken ribs, someone other than the idiot from the west would have mentioned it earlier than today.

I've never felt real confident that Liam Pickering speaks the truth 100% of the time!!

[SainterK]

Good point Bernard.

There is also photo's on facebook of the boys training today, and Kosi is out there.

[saint patrick]

Could be bruised or even cracked will not stop him..look at Matty Lappin for the Lions in 02..can be jabbed and a vest can be used..fear not Guys Kosi will be fine
