Sandercock said in Bluderside, he takes it 12 weeks from diagnoses, then a week or so after that he should be ok to play.

I hope you're right as we certainly need him back asap.

Blakes training will be very restricted while he's taking the warfarin & his physical condition is bound to have deteriorated. Hopefully he'll get good news this week but I'd still expect him to be at least 2 months from playing.

Yeah, have to be very careful on Warfarin, and any rush back could be very bad for him. Best to take care and make sure he is 100%

Hoping to play after the Easter games

Not the kind of warm up I'd endorse but thinking about it, the kids can get quite competitive and the infantile hustle/bustle might just be what's needed in preparation for the visit of London Broncos.

My older bro was on warfarin for a year and was told there was no need to be weaned off the drug, in fact it is out of the system in 4 days!

His rehab was swimming, cycling, walking and he took up golf. A month later you wouldn't know he had been so ill with a massive clot!

When I spoke to Blake at the Saints match he said he felt 'bonza' (I made that up) but you get the gist. He was already swimming etc., and he looked in good physical condition. He did say the kid gloves will come off once he gets the all clear. Thats happened and it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't back before Easter!

The problem is with a blood clot the time scale for it to dissolve and get the inr level right varies from person to person Blake is a healthy young man and no other health problems so that goes in his favour I think it's excellent news get galea back Ohara in the running before u know it Wel have our squad back then we will see exactly were we are at this season.

And Paul what does bonzo mean

Bonza - ginge

Aussie slang for something vee-good

bonzo? . . . as in do-dah band lol!

I believe the speed of detection ensured treatment could begin before it developed into a full blown serious and long term problem. I would say caution is still the name of the game and light training will continue for a few weeks. The real test will come when he starts full training. Fingers crossed eh!

The HDM are running a report Blake will be back in 8 weeks. That has to be good news for Blake and for the teams prospects for the latter half of the season.

Great news for the team but far more importantly brilliant news for Blake's own well being and health.

Deja vu.

CS just said on Humberside that Blake will be out for a minimum of one month with a hamstring tear suffered in training. Scan to reveal the full extent of the injury in the week.
