He'd be really suffering at the moment. That stuff is scary at the best of times, without that amount of pressure, and expectations, and hard work. Reminds me of Justin Hodges early in his career. He learnt to adapt his game after knee injuries and probably got injured in other ways as a result of that, but he kept his game afloat and arguably became a modern great. From all reports, everything was saying Jack was super fit again. I'm not so sure. He actually looked fitter last season I thought, which is understandable. Maybe the Broncos were rushing him back. He might have needed more time on the tar running. Everyone is different with regards to recovery. We can say it's unlucky, but things point to Bird not being primed for the first round. It's got me questioning a few things. Best of luck to Jack in his recovery. Was really looking forward to seeing him stride out from fullback. Just got my excitement for it delayed for a year. Broncos should try to get Billy Slater up here to work with our fullbacks. He overcame a lot of injuries and adapted his small frame to the modern game. In fact, he had a similar experience with a shoulder injury towards the end of his career. He's a good fella, and might be worth our while paying him a bit to get him in Jack's corner, and even our other fullbacks. [/QUOTE]
