If it's a minor tear then it's key hole, couple of weeks for stitches to fix and a couple more to regain full movement and the like. No real muscle or fitness loss as the time out is so short.

i think this is the end of paddy tbh, he has been nothing more than an average winger since the grand final injury, the only thing we will miss about his game is his kicking. Bring on Gelling or ryan king, both young and have the motivation in making it big in rugby league.

the loss of a great solider to the club brings opportunity to allow someone the chance to become a new one

Was it confirmed that Gelling was not selected against Crusaders because he was late for training (again)? Little bit worried about his attitude if true. He had an excellent game against Wakey and had a perfect opportunity to stamp his name down as no 1 replacement for Pat. King didn't let anyone down against Crusaders and it might be worth seeing how he goes against a better calibre of opponents.

this is why Ah Van would be an asset to the club, can finish tries and kick loads of goals

Wane said Gelling wasn't selected simply because he wanted to give Ryan King an opportunity.

That's fair enough then. Between him and King to keep that place til Pat's back then

From the snippets i have seen, Pat was looking quite quick, compared to how he has been of late. I know he has been carrying and injury, but he looked sharp from the little i saw. Could anybody who went on Sunday comment please.

didn't I hear we'd signed is brother Matt ?

Pat looked ok to me, kicking ok as well, we need Pat at the sharp end of the season and judging by reports injury not too bad,

Thanks.
