I know a professional bmx rider that broke his tibia - he came back 6 months later as good as ever. However, he was only 19 or so when he did it. Oddly enough, it also happened in Brisbane.
Women's team in place for the weekend

It's one thing about W-League that irks me - squads aren't finalised till days before kickoff and the players swap clubs almost annually. It makes it hard to engage with the team.Quote:

Pay them as full time employees year round and they may be here for pre-season. If not they need to be earning a living and come here late as to not lose money.Quote:

As a show of support for the Venezuelan, the Jets will ask fans for a minute’s applause in the eighth minute of the clash against Wanderers.
“I have never seen an outpouring of emotion for an injured player like this,” McKinna said. “At a meeting of A-League clubs today, all the chairman wanted to talk about was Ronny.
“Sunday will be an opportunity for fans to show Ronny what he means to Newcastle. He is such a good guy and has fitted in very well. It looked like he was going to be something special and in the long-term hopefully he can be.”
#riseforronny
To be fair the RBB invented injuries and you blokes just gone done and stole it.Quote:

Sorry, there's not really a point to this anecdote, other than to say W-League players are fricken athletes.

The editing on that NBN yarn is shocking.
Also doesnt help that none of the clubs W-League pages are updated with their current squads either.Quote:

I don't understand what you're implying. Is it not a good thing that the Jets can now pay Emily to play?Quote:

McKinna be better off trying to be getting the cash out of umpteen million private businesses out there than stealing cash from grassroots
