Kimmorley out for a month.

[sgodllubsti]

WHat a load of crap. Accep this for what it is ....a disaster

has the season been a disaster,,,,, did you expect to be on the top of the ladder, did you expect to make the finals.

its not a disaster, the same was said about losing steve price in 2004

 

[Mighty_Matt]

Sullivans out injured for the year i think.......id liek to see barba get a go this week against the tigers to at least see how he goes in first grade as a starter....He was strong today in teh early game, even his defence was solid, with two try saving tackles i can remember off teh top of my head

 

[ByRd]

oh bloody hell, this is just annoying, i feel sorry for the guy and i wish him all the best

 

[bulldogs2010]

I hate to say it but honestly,

If Kimmorley is gone for the rest of the season, there is no chance in us winning the competition.

This is terrible.

Lots of responsibility falls onto the shoulders of Ennis and Roberts now and boy, Holsworth REALLY has to step up if we're ANY chance.

 

[Terry Mortimer]

Its too late to make many changes like Sullivan or Barba as well as Holdworth...

Straight swap Holdsworth for Kimmorley and all you can do is pray for the best

Stop talking about who will replace kimmorle. Its fckn obvious it will be dumbsworth..

Useful info on Kimmorles injury please???

 

[chipandchase]

barba won the game in reggies today, was sensational.
he deserves a game, Holdsworth done nothing also threw an intercept try
my team would be Stagg at 5/8 with Barba on the bench, to come on after around 25 mintutes

 

[Chicharito]

have some bloody faith in the team...ok its not the most ideal situation but ffs...chins up people

 

[Rodzilla]

if sullivan is out, then it is simply holdsworth into half

but it is never too late for barba to be put in the team (can you people tell me how you figured that?), he should be put on the bench

 

[VAI]

the best i reckon barba will get is the bench, that's about it

Useful info on Kimmorles injury please???

that won't happen until the scans are done

 

[Dingo]

no no no no no

 

[Vagabond]

Chin up.

Win or lose in the final series, it's still a sensational season for us.

NRL PremiershipBulldogs halfback Brett Kimmorley suffers suspected broken cheekbone

August 30, 2009 Bulldogs halfback Brett Kimmorley was taken from the field with a suspected fractured cheekbone early in his side's match against the Warriors on Sunday.

Kimmorley was taken from the field after five minutes following a head clash with Jerome Ropati at ANZ Stadium.

Early reports indicated Kimmorley had suffered a depressed cheekbone fracture, with Bulldogs medical officials indicating the star playmaker could be out for 4-5 weeks.

Should the injury be confirmed, Kimmorley's absence would be a massive blow to the newly-instated premiership favourites' finals chances.

A five-week lay-off would mean the club would need to make the grand final for Kimmorley to play again this year.

Veteran Kimmorley has been in career-best form this season, guiding the Dogs, who finished with the wooden-spoon in 2008, to be equal ladder leaders.

His absence would have the club desperately searching for a replacement who could match Kimmorley's on-field talk and direction.

The Bulldogs were made $4.25 favourites by bookmakers this weekend following a worrying form slump by co-leader St George Illawarra which has yielded three straight losses.

dj will play get over it and learn to love it!! dogs will still make the gf!! not to be ironic but its just a matter of faith?lol aha

 

[MrCharisma]

I would prefer to see Michael Sullivan get halfback choice.

Great kicker and former Warrington halfback... also played that Residents game for Qld.

 

[Dogzkill4eva]

that sucks

 

[Game Breaker]

Well, if Holdsworth slots into 7, why not put Barba on the bench

 

[Dognacious]

Well, if Holdsworth slots into 7, why not put Barba on the bench

Doubt they put in DJ AND Barba, we only lost 1 player not 2. They will probably keep the bench as forwards coz we have plenty of attack even without BK. Its the defence we will want covered. Tired forwards leave the biggest holes.

 

[Game Breaker]

But without Kimmorley, our attacks is what suffers the most.

 

[Mr Invisible]

After Holdsworths efforts today in NSW Cup (and before people start getting narky I saw the entire match live at the stadium), I don't want him back in First Grade.

Shift Ennis to the halves with Roberts, and put Sullivan in as Hooker.

Should work fine.

If not, Stagg in halves, Barba on bench/another second rower.

Two conflicting reports.

One says fractured cheekbone, the other fractured eye socket. Regardless he has scans tonight to confirm, potentially surgery tonight/tomorrow, and 4-6 weeks recovery.

Poor bloke

But god we fired up without him.

 

[Game Breaker]

Nah, Ennis stays at hooker

We are stronger with him at hooker, moving him will just make us weaker.
