Feelin for my bra JJB atm,but mark my word this man will be back,his the most mentally toughest person I've met ever
[/i
OK Not the most literate of blokes but he knows JJB better than we do and I believe him.

Confirmed ruptured quad tendon, operation on Wednesday then out for "six to nine months".

Not as bad as it could have been by any stretch of the imagination, assuming no structural damage to the knee.

Article on the club website says 6-9 months so maybe it is more possible that he can play again...? www.therhinos.co.uk/news/27055.php#.VcCq4fmpziM

Good luck Jamie. Look on the bright side apart from your recent injuries...the other parts of your body have had a good rest which should prolong your career!

I think he will make a decision to wether he will resume playing when he has recovered

A 6-9 month time span down, may be more likely to be 12 months in reality.

Another tough test ahead for him.

NO player I'd back who would have the spirit to come back from that sort of injury at his age.

He's one of the players I admire the most. He plays a similar role in the team, and has maximised his impact by making the absolute most of his abilities because of his hard work and attitude.

I imagine no decision will be made anytime soon. He'll probably wait to see where he is in his recovery around Nov/Dec and if it's on schedule. The lower end of 6 months isn't too bad because that'd be just a few weeks into the season. If it's looking like 9 months or maybe even more then he might reconsider things.

I wish him all the best in his recovery. It'd be good to have him in and around the squad next year, what with numerous senior players already leaving at the end of the season.

Going to be very tough, but might be beneficial in some ways. Give some other bits of his body a chance to recover and heal. If he comes through it then he could be stronger and fitter.

Best of luck to him. I hope he gets back to fitness and can play a part next year, even if it's a small contribution. It's a long lay off but with that comes a lot of rest and then recovery. I think he deserves the chance to get back to match fitness.

If he wants the chance to end his career in a better way than this then I think he's earned that right.

I am fairly confident we will see JJB back in a Leeds shirt

He certainly deserves to make his own decision. If he wants to retire now, play a few games next year to be able to go out on his own terms or if he thinks he can come back fully, he deserves our support.
