Seriki

[Melbourne Blade]

I seem to recall he was Australian wasn’t he?

Highly likely with the unusual wanking practices encouraged over here.

I've avoided any serious injuries so far. Touch wood... (pun intended)

 

[Le Cynique]

I can’t find any evidence that he was an Aussie, but the story is apparently true, according to Snopes:

FACT CHECK: Is This a Real Case Study of Scrotum Self-Repair?

A machine-shop worker tore his scrotum in a piece of machinery and then stapled it back together.

I’m an orthopaedic surgeon. Just based on how he appeared as he stood up after injury. Obviously would need clinical examination and X-rays !! Worst outcome would be clavicle fracture as 6-8 weeks to heal however treated. Shoulder dislocation would need to be popped back in and a few weeks out. AC joint dislocation depends on severity of injury as to how treated.

Give him some paracetamol and a double dose of ibuprofen and he'll be fine for tomorrow evening.

Wilder this morning good news scan shows no significant damage

Can we all PM photos of our problem areas to see if they require further investigation?

My problem area is the Farage thread on General chat, Bladesdoc. Will you have a look at that? There's a few that need their lumps feeling on there.

Praise the lord.

He's not got a great poker-face, didn't sound too convincing.

Ignoring CaptainMorgans usual take on things, this is good news - Seriki was never going to play at Ashton Gate even if fully fit, and if we have the option of him being on from the bench for the second leg, then it's all good. The perfect scenario obviously is not needing him at all, and have him fit and firing for a full 90 mins Wembley.

There's a fair body of evidence to suggest Wilder can be economical with the truth when it comes to injuries..
Of course, it's completely up to you if you choose to always believe what he says regardless of that.

For what it's worth, I doubt he's telling an outright whopper, and I suspect he'll be back for the Final (should we make it).

As you say, great news though. I think he provides a real point of difference and provides balance to our attacks which otherwise tend to go through Hamer on the left.

 

[Large Mendonca]

What was said mate?

It's higher up in the thread - he spoke to Seriki himself who gave him the info. I know Romp fairly well and he's absolutely not the person to make stuff like this up.

So he didn't have owt questionable up his arse then?

Lock the thread

 

[Tom Bott]

Though after an injury like that, anyone is going to be nervous about causing further damage/reccurance
and not possibly giving 100%.

I don't trust the scans. Someone will have to look up there themselves.

Wilder already looked. It’s why his poker face is slipping.
