BROKEN BACK? SPINAL! [emoji190]

It is unclear just how long Jacob Kiraz was playing with a broken back. The Bulldogs flyer had felt stiffness in his back but did not think anything of it, preferring to play through the pain.

Eventually he had the injury scanned where it showed a lumbar spine stress fracture. Rest is what is needed to aid recovery. Kiraz should be fit to resume training when Canterbury starts pre-season.

How tough is this guy!!
Swear he’s looked slow and off the pace for a couple months. He even came back from that knee injury at least a month early.
He’s all heart.

The condition is fairly common and is found in one out of every 20 people.

He should have been xrayed earlier & rested.

It takes 3 months on average to heal.

Until CC comes out and reveals that all 17 players had back injuries like this, he gets no reprieve from it being a poor season
Don't put this where the spin merchants can see this. We'll hear this repeated in every paper for the foreseeable future. "Bulldogs enforce strict spinal injury requirement amid player walkouts"



Anyway, I wondered what had happened to sap Kiraz like he obviously was. Hope this is about the last serious injury he ever endures playing through in his time with us.

He's a tough kid. First playing through the MCL injury where he couldn't get a proper natural stride when running or move laterally.. Now we find out he was playing with a broken back.. Now that's toughness.. Something the club was built on. Preston is another who shows it. Now we need 15 more just like them..

100%. Have a list filled with players who train hard and play hard is our culture

And people were complaining about his performances lately... Guy is a true Bulldog.
He def is a bulldog, best used on the Wing imo… hopefully recovers well and is raring to go for 2024…
