http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1727 "Potter revealed that Matt Gidley missed the game with an ankle injury, Tony Puletua was a late withdrawal with a gastro bug and Kyle Eastmond has tonsillitis" Gidley was either rested as he wasn't 100% fit or he could have a bad injury and be out for a while? Puletua I'd imagine should have shook his bug off by the weekend Eastmond well depends how bad really doesn't it?

Have you ever had Tonsilitis? the only day(s) i've ever had off sick, completely ruins you and you can hardly stand, let alone play rugby.

You can get over it in a week, or it can take a month.
It's a bl**dy awful sickness.

He might get over it in a week, but will loose a lot of weight and not train. I'd be surprised to see him back inside a month

While we were in town on Thursday lunchtime we saw Gidley with his wife and one of his daughters having a spot of lunch in BB's cafe in the precinct. He was absolutely fine then - definately no bug. Seeing as he was sat down we couldn't tell if he was carrying an ankle injury or not. He was not in the 19 man squad so I presume it was an ankle injury/knock. Can't be serious or he wouldn't have been walking around town.
