Thread: The next Craig Bradley, Robert Harvey......... or ROK ?

  1. #1

    The next Craig Bradley, Robert Harvey......... or ROK ?

    From memory Craig Bradley was 38 or 39yrs of age when he retired and if memory serves me right he was 2nd or 3rd in the B&F in his final season 2002 or 2003?

    Fletch is approx 37yrs of age and still killing it

    Robert Harvey was 37 or 38yrs of age also in his final year and top5 B&F

    Im just wondering whether ROK could actually play on until 36,37 or 38yrs of age ?

    ROK has had some interviews this year where it has been discussed what shape he keeps himself in and the extra's he does. Ryan is a fitness nut and he appears to be one of those guys who truly never wants to retire.

    Same for Goodesy, perhaps?

    Though his knee injury on GF day may have something to say about that.

    Good points guys. When was the last time ROK got a serious injury too? Didn't he have some groin issue 2 or 3 years ago?

    If he keeps a clean bill of health, why not?

    He missed the start of 2012 due to injury, and interrupted preseason.

    I think in the case of Goodsie it is the injuries that will take their toll. His knees are sus and always have been. He was just able to ignore the pain and get on with it. The same as Micky O. But Ryano? I don't know, every time he looks like he is getting too old and slow he plays the next 5 games in top form. In the last half of last year he was absolutely sensational.
