Quote: pyeman "He had an operation on his knee, when it was first said to be a month out i didnt think that it would be (have had a couple of knee injuries myself), i wouldnt read too much into the long term comment as he could just mean he's been out longer than anyone else.
I have seen the rumours on the other site, but alot of rubbish gets posted on there, last season widders was suposed to be on a plane home. He will probably be abducted by aliens next.'"
That's where I heard the rumours about him being advised not to play again. It just seems strange to me that Dean said he'd be back this past weekend and now is listed on the official site as a long term injury. Seems a bit odd but until announcements are made, all these rumours should be treated as such.
