Pitto can play...just can't give the finger

 

[P_Crippy]

Very reliable source advised Pitto's had a couple of screws inserted to repair a broken finger. Would be extremely surprised if he played.

It depends which finger & hand. I recall them taping his pinkie to his next finger - if it just his pinkie he’ll be right.

Yeh - not like he needs to use his hand.

Had a few screws into my index finger after breaking it at footy. No way I could have played next week.

Dunno about pinky. Might be okay to go but wouldn't surprise me at all if he misses

 

[branedotorg]

I have a pinky with a few screws and a missing tendon. No impact at all for weeks after the surgery, although the main screw is pretty much through the joint

 

[Captain Judd]

Apparently cerra was out training with the main group today?

 

[xDQ82x]

Pitto is out as of technically yesterday.

Soft…..

 

[Crippa#9]

Cerra injured his right hamstring when he kicked the ball from centre clearance which resulted in Charlie's 2nd goal. On replay he seemed to keep running through the middle after he kicked it but then obviously came off once Charlie had sealed the goal. Would suggest it's only very minor.

2nd time now he's hurt his string during a game when launching a kick. Did the same against Collingwood late last year which coincidentally also resulted in a Curnow goal. He looked much more sore after that incident and hobbled to the bench.

We simply need to get him right. He's too young and important to spend as much time as he does on the sidelines. We don't need him being our Dion Prestia

He’s banned from kicking it to Charlie

Footage of him doing some indoor training yesterday (no training of any consequence) would suggest that it's very minor or even "awareness".

During the game on the scoreboard, I saw him skipping down the stairs to so wasn’t expecting hamstring at all

I don't think we have to worry about us taking risks with Cerra. Our injury management in general is hyper conservative.

Pretty sure Cerra didn't even have any ice on it during the game. Reckon there's a good chance it's awareness. Probably was last time too.

 

[ESKIE]

So does he have a week off?

 

[RPCB]

So does he have a week off?

Find out tomorrow or Wednesday.

As much as I know some people on here have their sources, the club will always be the only ones with clear definitive information. Cerra probably hasn’t even had his scan yet.

 

[Jatz]

I would expect he would.

 

[ESKIE]

I would expect he would.

Play ?

 

[Jatz]

Play ?

Miss at least a week.

The fact he was subbed out suggests they were concerned. Going interstate against a tough opponent, early in the season. With his history, I'd be staggered if they played him.

skipping? Maybe he was happy to be hitting warm showers early after the rain on Thursday night.

 

[Arr0w]

I'd give Cerra tge extra week, if he doesn't play this week

 

[Benaly28]

I’d just love for us to play our full side even if it’s just once.
