Sam Obst : Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:40 pm  

Any news on Sam??
Didn't see him once in the second half,
heard he was sick at half time but how true it is i don't know.

The doctor was looking at him as they went off at half time, I think he had a vision problem.

He got a bad bang to the head just before half time.

Got concussed in the last tackle of the first half by the looks of it. Would explain the sickness/ vison problems! Hopefully be OK for Sat

I don`t know about the bang on the head but I passed him as he came out for the 2nd half and his left elbow was heavily strapped.

As he walked back to the dug-out after half time his left eye looked a right mess and had closed up.

Reminding me very much of Dane Dorahay is Sam. Great little player but his size and style leaves him open to more than his fair share of injury. Recently we've been effectively playing with a 16 man squad for all but the 1st 20 minutes of the games he's started.

Don't agree with that, Obst was pretty much bomb proof until this season. Unlike Dorahay you can clearly see what causes his injuries, don't see him a any more vulnerable than any other player. This size thing IMHO is a myth, look at Burrow, rarely injured - look at Scully - rarely fit
