The League Express Twitter this morning says that he's expected to be fit to face Quins on Sunday

I wouldn't be surprised, he is a fit bloke. He will get over it pretty quick. And if he coughs on some of the Quins players in the scrum, even better.

Might be better getting him to spend some quality time with Deacon this week.

''after a suspected swine flu scare''

Lol.

The media always dramatize everything. A cough and a temperature for a couple of days is hardly a scare.

The reality - A couple of school kids get a few days off for a cough and a headache, it's swine flu.


......

What the papers report - Frantic parents were today calling for action as their kids catch the DEADLY virus and are FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES.

The government has estimated aproximatly 1.6 trillion people will die from the slightly worse than a cold bug, in the uk alone.

......But have urged people not to panic.

"We don't know if it's swine flu but he has some of the symptoms. We haven't had calls from any other players. And Rikki Sheriffe, his roommate, appears to be OK."

Why, oh why didn't he catch it ?

He just palmed it back into the in-goal area instead.

You'd have thought rooming with Menzies would help him deal with that problem.

Where it was promptly knocked on by any Bulls player quick enough to react.... so thankfully no-one caught it.

Pretty weird, when you think of it

"Night, Rikki."
"Night, Beaver."
