    I thought Dwayne Sweeney was back as a prop?

    Flicking through channels before and a replay of the 10s final was on. You can hear the "crack" clearly through the ref's mic when Graham's lower leg breaks.

    @Bovidae said in Brisbane Global 10s:

    Brad Weber: Fractured femur (thigh bone) which required surgery. Estimated recovery is a minimum of 6 months.

    Mitchell Graham: Fractured tibia and fibula requiring surgery. Estimated recovery is a minimum of 6 months.

    That's shit for both of them. Effectively a season for playing shits and giggles tourney of 10s.

    Not much different to NMS last season.

    @hydro11 not sure how well you know anatomy, but shoulders and legs are quite different 😉 🙂

    Nepo Laulala and Mitch Karpik suffered season ending injuries before Super rugby started last year. Bird was also out for most of the competition.

    NMS didn't miss out on a Lions tour and at least Nehe made it into the third round of the actual competition...

    My point is that season ending injuries happen a lot. I misremembered NMS's injury. Mitchell Graham fell over someone's leg - I don't think you can blame the tens for that.

    So apart from having a season ending injury, quite different?

    Really? A 10s tourney in Brisbane in early Feb had nothing to do with it. Ok.

    If you really want I can scour the internet and find examples of when players have had season ending injuries in the pre-season. It's not like it doesn't happen. How many season ending injuries were there at the tens anyway? Two isn't many for fourteen teams.

    or alternatively, last year the Chiefs played 2 preseason games.

    This year they are playing 2 preseason games, and the 10s, which cost us 3 players.

    You can't just blame the 10s, but it's hardly helped, and is fairly worthless in preparing for Super rugby next week

    Laulala and Karpik. Season ending injuries in pre season.

    Bird also suffered a 10 week injury in pre season.
