So when is Ball's surgery???

saintsRrising · Sat 01 Sep 2007 7:32pm

With Ball making way for Thommos final game it would mean that his injury should not have flared which in turn means that he can hopefully have his surgery as soon as possible = increased recovery time and pre-season.

So does anyone know when he goes in?

Heres hoping that in 2008 that ball proves to be our biggest "recruit".

Lyon said that it will be on wednesday on his abductor.

It's an interesting injury according to lyon. Some weeks he moves very freely and some weeks he can't. The surgery will I think release the abductor a little.

Just a question, did he have surgery any surgery on his groin at the end of last season? Becuase, I guess if he did it probably shows that surgery may not help all that much.

No he didnt. The doctors said it wouldnt help. May ba a bit of a different injury.

Well, that provides a bit of hope that surgery may be a magic cure.

correct,
All the info out of the club re: ball is that his OP is steady but it's his abductor that is the problem. Different injury completely

Hopefully this surgery can transform Luke Ball back into the pre-2006 version of him.

heard on one of the post match audio files that the surgery would be in Sydney?

Fraser also said he would be in for surgery this week

and others?

It is good news.

Unbelievable to think he hasn't done it sooner.
