Alex Rance

[Tigers of Old]

He's a loss no doubt. Rather him playing than not.
That said if he's not right, he's not right.
Can now focus on our campaign distraction free & he can focus on his rehab properly without rushing it.

 

[craig]

Most sane result.

Hits round 1 in tip top shape with a nice organised pre season behind him.

 

[blx]

I'm sure he will be doing everything he can behind the scenes to help his team mates win another premiership.

 

[Tenacious]

And presumably no nonsense about retirement or travel or whatever it was?

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

When Dusty re-signed before the 2017 finals it seemed nothing could stop our momentum. But if Rance played and either got hurt or was torn a new one it could be demoralising.

It's all about the vibe, and for the next 8 weeks the MCG is our Mabo - even without Alex.

Im not believing it till I hear it out of Balmeys mouth.

 

[TigerForce]

Rance has announced to his teammates that he will not be back this year and has set his sights on being right for 2020

Well done Rancey. Now Dimma doesn't have to keeping hearing the same bloody question over and over again.

 

[Don’t Argue]

Im not believing it till I hear it out of Balmeys mouth.

Unfortunately it’s legit.
Just come through on our website

 

[tigermike]

Great news, best decision. Gives him enough time for the graft to toughen up so he can hopefully have a good pre-season. He'll still need to be careful up to 12 months post-operation.

 

[toothless]

Given this news you’d think at a minimum he’s committed to the end of his contract

 

[No 4]

well explained by Rance, see the video on RFC website

 

[caesar]

And presumably no nonsense about retirement or travel or whatever it was?

Time to hit Tony Shean's

And presumably no nonsense about retirement or travel or whatever it was?

Time to hit Tony Sheehan's twitter account, looking like a Tom Browne fool!

 

[lamb22]

I think that it's a wise decision, the odds of re-injuring the ACL are lower if you come back in under 9 months.

So he has made the wrong decision?

 

[AngryAnt]

It was always a crazy pipe dream. I never believed it for a moment.

Right decision made, move on, welcome back next year Tross.

 

[Harry]

Well explained by the trossman

 

[achillesjones]

Totally reasonable from Rancey.
But , Tigers make it into the Grand Final and one or two of the key defensive talls are unavailable. ?

No guarantees we will be there again.

 

[tigerman]

So he has made the wrong decision?

Well if i said that the odds of Rance re-injuring himself were 5-2, or if i said they were 10-1, what would you consider to be the lower odds?

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Do you think he worked out before he shot the video?

 

[TigerForce]

It was always a crazy pipe dream. I never believed it for a moment.

Right decision made, move on, welcome back next year Tross.

The journo duds must be fed.

 

[achillesjones]

Probably won't change his rehab and training schedule. At any rate it is the best way to stop the media nagging.
