SHACK back soon

Posted by paul taylor on July 19, 2010 at 4:00pm

Talking to my source, SHACKELTON is maybe 3 weeks off coming back. Training hard, just doing the mobility stuff now and will definately be back for semi finals. Could need a few runs to tighten up but with HORO would be great off the bench....

Anyone heard this ? Phil can you update further mate ? Was always stated as a season ending injury but as Reiwoldt showed for St Kilda you can come back from this injury and it doesnt have to be season ending in round 1.

We are looking better at right end of season.

If Shack does come back, barring injuries or suspensions to any other players, who gets dropped from the side ?

Yeah personally I would be telling Shackleton don't risk it, have an off season working on it and then come back next year. It isn't like Shane Shackleton is going to make or break our season.

  Totally in agreement - why risk it??

Considering we played with a 4 forward bench today & I know that was one of Ando's concerns about MK, I imagine he take Lee TeMari's spot.

For me the most important part of this is it gives us cover for the props. If one of our props go down, Shackleton would be my first pick to play up front. I couldn't drop any of our backrowers.

I have seen Shacks Facebook page, he is very open to fans questions and is expecting to be back a few weeks before the finals, he also said he is expecting atleast 1 game in premier league before being reinstated to the starting line-up
