I expect Mick has probably just plucked a number out the air to be fair!!

Oh you think that do you B_B? What makes you say that?

Because I would doubt very much that the injury to Gale has been properly assessed at this moment. He might well be proved to be correct, but it will still likely be a guess at this moment.

Mick has the 100% correct information. Luke has done ankle ligaments and expects to be out 6 weeks.

Gale has tweeted he is off for a scan tomorrow.. perhaps somebody ought to tweet him not to bother.. the diagnosis is in.

Prognosis and diagnosis. Two different words. Everything at this stage is a prognosis, and Mick has the correct prognosis.

Im no doctor but i thought that in order to make reasoned prognosis an acurate diagnosis would have to be made first

The club, physio and staff will have made a reasoned decision on the type of ligament damage, and going on previous injuries of that type, they'll make a decision on how long the player is EXPECTED to be out.

Things just get better and better don't they.

I'd rather wait to see what the scans reveal, although I respect the fact the physio might have given an initial opinion on the severity.

The 6-8 weeks comes from Luke himself after I spoke with him.

Any news on Scruton? Seemed to pick up a shoulder injury?

Fair enough, as I say.. we'll have to see what the scans reveal. Sometimes your info is good.. sometimes it is quite a way off.

very bad news, our kicking game wasn't very varied today. we needed luke.

No, he's too creative. Potter dosent like that.
