Hernia problem needs surgery

Bang goes our season.

FFS!

Will have to be Obst and Westy in the halves.

Yeah has to be westy and obst now...big loss,hornes hit a good bit of form of late.

2 points on this:
1) Massive credit to Horne for playing so well whilst carrying this injury/condition.
2) Surely there's no impact on FC? After all, Horne is "well past his sell by date" according to many on here.

Horne has been in my top 5 players of the season - starting to hit some real form. Back for the cup final and the play offs though!!

Not the best timing, but thankful we have 3 coming in next season! Can't come quick enough! Sums our half back situation up!

Gutted.

Terrible news. Rich has been in fine form lately.

Has to be Westerman and Obst at halfbacks.

Every time we seem to be getting back on the rails,something comes along to stuff it up.

Massive loss, he's been great for us this year and we will certainly miss him during this important month. Let's hope Obst is back next week.

Horney has been in much better form recently and was looking back to his best. Bad news but not season ending like suggested above. With Westerman in fine form and look better every game (IMO), Obst hopefully back and Washy putting in a very accomplished performance last night we'll be ok.

Hopefully Westy 6, Obst 7 and Washy playing 13 or a similar role to what Westerman does.

At least were consistent with our new half for next year being injured on the other side of the world.

Not suggesting it is season ending bud,but it is frustrating when a player who is getting back to form gets injured.

I think what's important is that we don't make a big deal out of this. Too many times, when Long was out it was asif we gave up before we even entered the field. Over the last week, I've being pleasantly surprised by the lack of discussion about Obst not playing. Last night we looked sharp in attack without Obst, hopefully it continues with Obst but without Horney.
