Should Duane Vermeulen retire?

 Polata Nau has done the wise thing and given it away .Definately something not to be trifled with any neck/head injuries .

 I agree but it will depend how serious it is. Hika Elliot managed to rehab & is playing well again. If in doubt pull out is my motto.

Big Joe had a worse injury in 2006 with the C6 vertebrae and was fine. But it's hard to say, even a minor neck injury can feel like a life threatening condition and drastically hinder your capacity to play, so we'll just have to see what info is given later. 

Coenie has had neck surgery and is pushing in the front row. There is very straightforward surgery for neck discs now. They enter from the front and shave away the bulging disc...patients go home on the same day pain free. 
One wonders what prompted this uninformed speculation about Duane.

 Well apparently not.....Duane was given a good report by the brain quack.  Some may be encouraged by this, but I knew it was in the bag the moment Jalapeño Nek  started to opine how Vermeulen should not "mess with" his neck injury....that retirement might be looming. Funny stuff from the guy who is an unerring barometer to the wrong answer.....waaahahahaha.
