Should have organised a doorknob-licking party back in the off-season

wow, i'm glad Nicks has the expertise to answer definitively questions no-one has been able to answer around the world in over 2 years. Thanks for clearing that up!
There's no need to be smart about it - there is a lot of available data about how quickly the present strain incubates and when it typically becomes infectious. I was trying to be helpful - if you would prefer that I not try to make informed contributions responding to posts you pose as questions, just let me know and I won't engage with you.
i'm sorry.

Adams will surely require major surgery if he has ripped his groin off the bone! Yike. Sadly, his career might also be in doubt as he has had recurring groin issues for a few years now. He is a true warrior, so I'm sure he'll do everything possible to be fit for next year, but we may have seen the best of him already.

I thought the same. That could be career-ending. We gambled on this one and lost.

I’ll trade Adams at seasons end as well he’s becoming a liability always injured

Groin off the bone. Went down like he’d been shot. Can understand why. It didn’t look good at the time. Worst kick since Mick McGuane’s dead leg. Tay always try to kick the ball so hard. No wonder he has a history of hamstrings and groins. Bursting up from the pack, diving in and trying to kick the ball through steel.

Has any player come back from this injury?

Even when healthy, he is a liability. Our game style is one of precision disposal. We take risks but it works because of excellent execution. Adams is one of the worst kicks I have ever seen. His trier attitude just doesn't fit with this new style.

Yep, 6 months minimum if the early guess (ripped off the bone) is accurate.
I've been a critic of his disposal, but what he adds to the grunt factor far outweighs that part of his game, huge loss to our balance, huge.

It is quite possible that Adams’s systemic groin issues are a reason his kicking has long been percentage at best.

Nope, it’s definitely his two handed ball drop.

None of this is true Richard Cole is ahead of him.

The only liability is your insight to the game and lack of observation of what he's delivered for us this year. The blokes a warrior.
Pull your head in.

Richard Cole is ahead of nobody, ever, even Adams dodgy kicking is nowhere near terrible Richard Cole standard
