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

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

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.

 

[South Sea Blade]

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.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[DifferentClass]

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%.

 

[Blade45]

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

 

[dc_blade]

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

Seriki might have been kidnapped just before the match the other night.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Missing again, hopefully not a bad injury. A good option to have on bench.

[Tickhill Blade]

I look forward to Cannon being dropped from the squad on that basis then

 

[Pedro Verde]

You would think so wouldnt you

 

[bakeblade]

Mmmm, none of the squad performed in the first 6 games. Why single out Femi?

 

[S64 Blade]

Not as if he was a root cause of our issues either.

 

[Dan Emery]

Of those games, how many did he start?

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Mmmm, none of the squad performed in the first 6 games. Why single out Femi?

Would have validity if he didn't persist with Cannon...

 

[Lowen]

Insanely harsh. Started the opening three then got replaced by Godfrey who was significantly worse than him. Seriki didn’t play well and wasn’t showing the attributes that made him break through last season, but he was never the worst defender in that period. He also impacted a lot of games from the bench last season too, and preferring Shackleton over him in the squad clearly makes our subs weaker. Shackleton doesn’t have the ability to impact the game in the same way.

 

[Nick Jansky]

That would only happen if Wilder picked squads based on ability and form. We all know he has favourites who will always be in the squad and getting minutes no matter what.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Obviously one who should always be in the squad

Maybe, maybe not. Obviously thinks the lad needs some tough love.

No one has seen how they are all training since Wilder came back in. I’d suspect it’s not solely about performances under Selles.

Well the only one we know is doing good things in training is cannon...cos wilder sez..
