Ruptured his achilles. Gone for the year.

Tragic - he deserves better. Turns 31 in September and could be the end of his career.

Thanks. One player I have been waiting to see in the seniors. I love what he brings. That's just sh1t news.

Poor guy. Shame we didn't get him 6 or 7 years ago.

Bummer!!

Another example of our medical incompetence? He's been out with a sore achilles, they bring him back too early and he ruptures it. Sounds to me like amateur hour continues in our medical room. How many of our players are we going to do this to before questions get asked?

I don’t know if he was brought back too early, I also don’t know if Kruizer was played when injured, Kennedy, Murphy... etc.
Maybe our desperate situation “required” those risks, maybe it was inept of us, I don’t know, but it should be looked at come end of season.

Or recruiting?

Similarly, I'm not sure about it, but what I do see is that we could potentially take better care of our players which comes from an overall duty of care to your employees.
