I've been informed by Shaun Norman this evening that Joel Haverson's injury was a lot worse than first thought, after being told he had 5 breaks with 2 fractures, which is simply unbelievable after being close to the incident when it happened.One thing that this terrible accident has highlighted is that for those lads in our side who wear the small slip-in style shin pads really need to reconsider their decision after seeing what the potential outcome could be as poor Joel has shown us.
I know that if you have, that style of pad and find the style pictured to bulky I dare say, it's better to carry a little extra weight and spend a tenner for proper pads rather than having a lengthy spell off work and in recovery. Be sensible get it sorted.
