Iaj, I just read your link and read on the Cripps injury. Not being a medical professional leaves me with little to add from an expert opinion. However, does it need appear strange to play a player with a fracture? Is there a risk due to a knock or impact that could make an injury worse? Would it not be wise to take a player out of the game for 4 or 5 weeks to help remedy the injury? Cripps is clearly not playing with the form he has shown in he past. IMO only, I would take him from the field to rest. Players lacking form do not impact a game and help the side win matches. Something suspicious in that read from the Age. I don’t get it.
