[Rampsation]

Wish him the bedt but its going to be a long hard road back for the big man. Hes not overly quick for a big man already this injury could have a big impact on his mibility when he comes back in 12 months.

All because a certain player in hoops is always allowed to push defenders in the back without the fear of giving away a free kick.

Balmey thinks Soldo will be ready middle of the season.

[Andyy]

Sounds optimistic to me. Would er on the side of caution myself. He's a big man...

Soldo suffered the season-ending injury in round 17 last year having been Richmond's premier ruck, but the Tigers are confident of seeing him in 2021.

"If there's one guy who is going to do his rehab to an incredible level, it's Soldo. Our guys are really positive that he'll play some football towards the back end of the year which is a great get for us," Hardwick said.

Richmond is expected to hand injured ruckman Ivan Soldo a one-year extension.

The 24-year-old, who featured in the club's 2019 Grand Final win over Greater Western Sydney, comes out of contract at the end of this season but the club intends to add another year to his deal through to the end of 2022.

Soldo missed out on last year's flag victory against Geelong after requiring season-ending surgery following his knee injury in the second last home and away game of 2020.

Soldo is racing through his recovery from the injury, with Tigers coach Damien Hardwick recently saying that the club's medical team expect the ruckman to return to the field later this season.
