There is no way C.Curnow will be back within two months let alone two weeks. I'm not sure of the current thinking but years ago it was thought the worse thing a GF sufferer can do is over-exert themselves during recuperation. It can set them up for years of relapses. Gentle exercise used to be the call, long walks, gentle bike rides, aqua-aerobics, etc., etc..
Another bollocks LP
My son was back playing Vic Championship basketball within 6 weeks. He was under the care of a specialist who carefully monitored his recovery and gave him the all clear to train at full pace after 5 weeks.
Charlie Curnow is already doing light training so I'd expect him to start playing a quarter or two in the NBs within 4 or 5 weeks - provided there are no setbacks with his recovery.
It can be a bit of a lottery. One of my weightlifting buddies was out of action for 12 months!
