Was he limping?

nope, he seemed fine to me, no strapping or anything

Did he at any point try and start a game of all pile on?

Managed to collar him at the open day a couple of weeks ago (he was standing still at the time ), and he said that if all goes to plan, then he will be fully fit by December (although SWMBO thinks he is already fit )

if it was demetriou he would be back for the playoffs !

Not with that injury he would not, are you are suggesting he's swinging the lead?

not only was it a bad injury it was also a career threatening one too, why waste a talent in bring him back for him not to be ready and break down totally, he was ruled out for the rest of the season with a ruptured cruciate knee ligament.

snippet from the web
How long will the athlete with a torn ACL be out of action?

This largely depends on your surgeon or physiotherapists approach to rehabilitation. Some therapists advocate an accelerated rehabilitation programme returning the athlete to full competition within 6 months, others prefer a 9 month rehabilitation period.

so with it being confirmed in april , october would be the earliest that he could be expected to return

you want to be careful what you say if someone set up a poll wether to keep you on this site or ban you it would be a landslide defeat for you and dont even try and kid yourself the result would be any other

hey damo HEY UUUUUU.... GUYS..

Blanch lives in the next block of flats to me

Saw him with his wife/girlfriend last night at around 11:30pm, he was riding a bike. Seemed to be fine

Although he may be able to walk or even run, being tackled is a very different scenario

I'll ask next time i see him, know him from when he was at Cas, so he should tell me

i saw him when i was at the gym last week... i left 25 minutes after he came in.... but he was on the cross trainer and the treadmills, so he is getting better

To be honest, after tearing knee ligaments they get you on the bike straighta way. Cross trainer the same as it works your leg mustles but there no impact and no twisting the knee.
Treadmill is a step up so that would be a good sign.

Played Cricket today and looked pretty good but it takes time before contact.
