Let's not start assuming it's as bad as that.

Straight from the horses mouth "He hopes to be fit for the play-offs" the pin had moved in the ankle but it has re-set ok

He's hoped to be fit for the past 4 games. I'm not betting on anything, the guy hasn't played for that long i've forgot what his initial injury was.

He's a real decent guy and a great player that has come good at some key moments for the club. However, like many I think he's a passenger in the squad until the end of the season now.

I hope he does play ....however my guess is that he won't.

Who's your source ? Mate in the pub ?

what does it matter mate, he's been right every week up to press and i cant see things changing now, there was talk about 3 weeks ago the club were looking to get a opperation done on him asap but he said he didnt want one as he didnt want to go through the rehab again so he has been given as much rest as poss and i cant see the club risking him again this season but only time will tell.

He's itching to play and has apparently been banging on Matterson's door every week. It's Matterson's call rather than Shifty's.

Apparently, he's been good in training though and I would fully expect him to make an appearance tomorrow at Headingley.

Just rumours though, like the rumour that he had been injured so bad he would never play rugby again. If there were any doubts over his fitness tm has been right to keep him on the sidelines and till he's 100% for the playoff push. Apparentley he's been a possibility for a few weeks (admitedley nothing official) and tm has decided not to risk him just like he did with westy earlier on in the season.
