Where did the suggestion that Riewoldt had done an ACL come?

DownAtTheJunction · Sat 16 Feb 2008 10:38pm

It was interesting to read Ross Lyon's statement, "I can tell you bona fide there is no ACL injury [to Riewoldt]." I am glad that Lyon wants to put this to bed, but this story seems to have its origins from within the club.

I hadn't heard it at all, journo's fishing again probably.

It cam from an article that stated Riewoldt is a fan of AC Milan. Clearly been taken out of context.

hahahahahaha

good call

The AC connection was not part of this picture.
There was genuine concern that he had done his knee. Lyon had heard it even though it had not been reported! That in itself was, and is interesting. I sincerely hope Lyon is giving us the truth, and that this is not hamillgate revisted

Maybe roo was having breakfast with Grant Thomas said gee my knees playing up and GT went straight to the media with it?

Yeah probably not

Just the same, he hasn't been out on the park of recent times. And if/when he does, that would be the end to any speculation and mystery.

Apparently he was shown on TV during the game sitting down with his legs folded under him and talking to Goose.

Can't have done his ACL ....

God, I hope not!

The one player in our squad that epitomises the phrase "excllent player, but................".

Though it would go someway to explain his attitude!

Oh When the Saints · Sun 17 Feb 2008 3:32pm

Sitting on a chair properly with his knees bent.

Not legs folded under in the way only women can do ...

A journalist asked the question in this audio. It sounds to me like Lyon was not aware of the rumour.

As tongue in cheek everyone is being, I do believe GT may have made some cryptic comments before the game on SEN. I was at the game so didn't hear them but went along the lines of "His knee is worse than what is being let on" from there some more comments from someone has led to this as it was mentioned he could possibly be put on the Long Term Injury List as he was not expected back until after the break. As I said didn't hear it personally but was relayed back to me as that.

Don't think it's true but as reported as knee tendonitis from a corky must be very painful but surely not a long term injury.

The story of Riewoldt's injury is not disappearing. In fact it continues to be mysterious. Today there was an inference on radio (AW) that he may not be available for some time after the season proper had begun. Yes he may have tendonitis, as Ross Lyon says but the rumours persist.
On Friday some sources (who shun publicity on this issue) said there was good information that Riewoldt had done an ACL. But they were unable to have it confirmed, either way!
All supporters can do is maintain faith, and hope that information is truthful, and not misleading (in fear that memberships might suffer if adverse information is disclosed).

Was he at the praccy match? was he at the NAB cup game? What about training

Was he on crutches on any of those?

ACL is a serious knee and he would have to be on crutches for several weeks if he had done this, yet noone has said they have seen him on crutches. you can't hide a ACL on a player like Roo and why would you anyway?

BTW he's missed one game, one game FFS people are being very very paranoid and jumping to some big conclusions.

Saints Premiers 2008 · Wed 20 Feb 2008 9:03pm

if he did his acl then he would get it done straight away in hope of a late season return

plain and simple

who cares if he is kept in cotton wool...he is just that damn good

imagine the crap associated with someone like carey during the pre-season cups....

its exactly the same

GeorgeYoung27 · Wed 20 Feb 2008 9:42pm

Matthew Drain rang 3AW tonight to say that rooey trained yesterday and will again tomorrow. Slight chance he will play Saturday but more likely next week, especially if we win.

If you think about it is possible the origonal poster of this thread started the rumour/suggestion. Which could've been his intention all along.
