Title: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Neils on March 12, 2019, 08:54:51 PM: Due to "illness" Spencer brought in as replacement. Shame for him.

Don't be silly, Spencer plays for Sarries, he'll start against Scotland.

Illness.. he's probably "sick" of keeping the bench warm

When the 6n's is over we will have the freshest international players in the nothern hemisphere available to us

Possibly. Probably one of a ream of excuses he's got ready.

Post by: Tervueren on March 13, 2019, 09:33:02 AM: Probably has an under-12 lined up to be an apprentice and go to Japan for experience instead.

Post by: RogerE on March 13, 2019, 09:40:21 AM: Probably got piles from sitting on the cold bench

Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Vespula Vulgaris on March 14, 2019, 11:51:01 AM: That's a bit of a worry.
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: jamestaylor002 on March 14, 2019, 12:22:08 PM: That sounds a bit more than a stomach bug, by the way this article is written
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Hymenoptera on March 14, 2019, 12:52:46 PM: Dan and the club just can't catch a break, everytime he is where he needs to be he gets cursed.

Wasps couldn't have any more bad luck if it ordered it on Amazon..we really need Dan back.
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Neils on March 14, 2019, 01:17:09 PM: Amazon?
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: BG on March 16, 2019, 08:49:01 AM: Sounds quite bad for Dan.. potentially out for the rest of the season. I can't access the article as its in The Times but apparently blood clots - Deep Vein Thrombosis
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: RBB on March 16, 2019, 08:55:51 AM: That is terrible news, we seem to be jinxed, let's hope it isn't career ending.
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Vespula Vulgaris on March 16, 2019, 09:19:58 AM: I guess it depends on what caused it. It could be post traumatic, but if not it could be a problem.

Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Neils on March 16, 2019, 10:36:25 AM: Feel for him and the uncertainty about whether he will ever play again. Beyond bad luck which seems to follow our scrum halves through recent years. Actually not just that position! Dai must wonder what deity he has upset. Rain dance requires to ensure Joe S stays fit.

Post by: Neils on March 16, 2019, 10:37:26 AM: Eddie's fault plus the bench :(
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: BG on March 16, 2019, 10:53:38 AM: Interesting stat from that article - I wonder who keeps those stats.. the club itself? That's a lot of work for Bobby Bridge to do by himself

Percentage of front-line Wasps minutes played

Dan Robson: 43% (all season), 24% (since October)

Nathan Hughes: 38% (all season), 19% (since October)

Joe Launchbury: 14% (all season), 12% (since October)

Elliot Daly: 69% (all season), 46% (since October)

Brad Shields: 38% (all season), 36% (since October)

Post by: Raggs on March 16, 2019, 11:51:06 AM: So sorry for Dan.

It's alright though, I didn't want to watch championship rugby next season...
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: RogerE on March 16, 2019, 12:06:29 PM: Really sorry for the guy - I broke my leg at the time I played for Wasps, and was on Warfarin for a year following a resulting DVT and PE, during which time I wasn't allowed to play any contact sports. After that I developed spontaneous DVTs and was put on Warfarin for life which stopped my "rugby career".

Hope he recovers, and the DVT is just a result of leg blows, which isn't uncommon, and he will be able to return to rugby when the anti-coagulation treatment ends - possibly 6 months.

Post by: Rossm on March 16, 2019, 12:45:24 PM: I feel absolutely awful for Dobby. :'( :'( :'( What incredibly bad fortune. I am lost for words. I do hope he recovers from this 100% and comes back in great shape for next season. It seems to just get worse and worse for Wasps.
Title: Re: Robson out of England Team
Post by: Vespula Vulgaris on March 16, 2019, 02:08:21 PM: In a touch of irony, one of the big risk factors for DVT is sitting still for long periods of time, so clearly it is Eddie's fault for having him on the bench for so long... ;)

Absolutely - but I thought I'd not be the best person to point that out!
