Lynch !!

How does Tom injure his hamstring 26 days ago on March 31st (and it certainly didn’t appear to be a major tear, he played for a while after the incident and didn’t even ice it after the game) and still be 10-12 weeks away? What am I missing here?

I thought I read 8-10 in this weeks injury report? Not holding my breath though...

Had surgery on the tendon? What are you on about?

Ripped off the bone is major

Well, yeah. It’s not good. But if Lloyd could come back from it and still play very well hopefully Lynch can too. Trying to stay positive….

His age and other injuries are factors though. Geez.

Others such as Craig can probably answer far better than me, but it was the tendon that is torn, not the muscle. Tendon tear is far worse than the actual muscle.

Tendons take far longer to heal, hence the surgery.

Gibcus tore the tendon completely from the bone.

Wouldn't surprise if we didn't see him again this year.

Richo said on the Talking Tigers podcast that Lynch's injury is similar to the one he had.

Below is the report at the time and article also referred to the Lloyd injury:

Tom having that shot at goal from 50 out on the boundary wouldn't have done him much good. It was a tendon behind his knee, so he probably didn't realise that it was hamstring related.

Carried a massive load in that Swans game worked his arse off, off bugger all pre-season work and no games last year.
Pure fatigue last few minutes and twang, needed a longer training block obviously for the workload he carried - hindsight for me, but the money experts should have FORESIGHT
