Playing him in the middle of the park doesn't help him. He needs to on the edges for me. He's a fantastic player but things need to change for him.

Agree with that.

Furner was quoted on twitter as saying Stevie may need an op

It wouldn't surprise me to see Stevie call it a day in the next couple of years. Bright lad, fingers in other pies and ultimately your health has to come first!

Hopefully he will make a full recovery from the op and be back for the remainder of this year.

He should never have been used as a battering ram completety wasted in that role.
He should have been given the ball handling 13 role much better suited to his skill set.

Ball playing loose? Is there such a thing anymore? Loose in modern game is a third prop. As I've said before he shouldn't be used in the middle of the park so should be playing as a wide 2nd rower defending inside Watkins who be defending inside Tui who couldn't tackle me.

We won umpteen trophies with a ball playing 13 just because others are using the 13 as an extra prop doesnt mean everyone should follow suit.
Either way he's been woefully mis-used since his 1st team debut.

Nearly all of the championship wins kev played at 6. He didn't play at 13 after 2010.

13 is an extra middleman these days. Some have better hands but they are basically a prop nowadays

Anybody would think other players don't get injured. Flanders over rated career has been full of missing large chunks of seasons, and playing a similar role.

Like I have said in a previous post I always look back to see if he is going to get up after he is tackled or is making a tackle.
Great talent but just like Currie at Wire too injury prone.
It would be our luck that we get rid and Cas get the best out of him!!

Say what?
