Timeline

1. R2926 Sept

   Occurred

   Achilles injury — hurt untouched early in the third quarter of the Grand Final against Brisbane and took no further part. The club believes it is a partial tear rather than a rupture, which would likely avoid surgery; scans pending. Coded to the general ankle code until the scan distinguishes a partial tear from a rupture.
