Oliver Holmes.

Post by GET EM ON SIDE » 15 May 2017, 08:42

Heard that Oliver Holmes has been advised to retire from the game due to a reoccurring injury. So sad if true with a guy with so much potential. Really hope its not the case

Doubt it very very much.

Why not take a year out, have any 'pioneering' surgery under insurance, see where he is in a year.

I'm totally speculating, but if his ailment is the following

http://www.boneandjoint.org.uk/content/ ... tendinosis

There are options. Open Surgery, injections, minimally invasive surgery. Although it has a 50% resultant cause of retirement in athletes, og has time and options on his side.

Especially considering it's not likely to affect him after his career is over.

I suspect the club have been treating it conservatively and now may be the time to take the plunge surgically.

Makes sense why Foster and Larroyer are on the payroll. Thank god we signed JSL.

I'm confident Ollie will be back, but perhaps a long lay off is prudent now. If not now, very soon.

As nothing to suggest that degree of serious on his Twitter account nothing on the club website.
So hopefully just a rumour with no substance as l believe he has a long and successful career ahead of him
Hope to see you fully fit and back on the field.

Problem for Holmes is he missed nearly all of last season as well as this with the same injury, looks like rest alone is not the amswer.
Big fan of Olly and I hope he can get the injury sorted soon and get back out on the park.

sad if true but could we look at trying Andre Savelio as a replacement for 2018?

Agree with that one. I liked him and was pleased when we took him last year, but he had his chance to stop and we weren't good enough for him so leave him where he is. I think he's a player that thinks he's better than he is, and wants NRL anyway.

But I guess your happy that shenton came back from "the dark side"? He had a chance to join his hometown club and he took it, surely you can't blame him? He would improve the squad so I'd have him back

Savellii is hard working but not in our best 17. He chose to go back to his first club wire.

That's right. Wire is and that's why he chose to go back and be near his mates. He was on forms there but ended up at saints.

quite a few at magic were saying he's finished but it seems strange how quiet the club are being on the situation.
