Who said I'm pleased ? Not bothered either way tbh just stating what everyone already knew

You're so not bothered enough that you have to post it twice, yeah right!.
Oh and just for your information it's not the same knee injury as before.

Be best to come to an agreement with TC, whilst not his 'bad knee' he does have problems with this one too.

Can't see anything but this happening again next year, if he even comes back from this. Shame, very good player, but is 10-15 games a season enough?

shame for the bloke, as no one wants to see bad injuries,but once your knees are giving this much problem there will always be a question mark about them giving way again, one things for sure you will miss him as a very good player

Agree 100%,I think it will be tough to come back after major problems with both knees now,as I posted terry knew on sunday his season was over,and sadly perhaps his career ?

If we are lucky he might just be available for Week 1 next season, but will miss the entire preseason. If we are sensible, he will begin playing for us again around Easter next year. If like some of my fellow posters you are glass half empty, then you'll be thinking he may be announcing his retirement from the game in 12 months time.

I personally think he will make it back on to the park and we will get a minimum of 15 good games from him next year. The guy oozes class and is very determined.

Good luck with the operation, rehab and recovery skipper!!

It's ok being glass half full but serious injuries to both knees doesn't look good for him long term. He's class yes but personally I doubt we'll see him in a Rovers shirt again, just my opinion.

do you think rovers will give him time to recover and play again? its a funny one as some will argue he should whilst others will want to get shut now and find a replacement, as ive said when on the pitch a class act but is it worth the risk?

Yes, according to Chris Chester and the man himself, he is expected to recover from his injury and return next season. This guide gives some indication of the type of surgery required and recovery time, it seems most sports people go back after about six month but full recovery can be 9 months to even a year in some cases. www.nhs.uk/conditions/repairtote ... ction.aspx

Before he signed he was labelled by the canberra fans and others as finished,he has proved them wrong with some stellar displays so far,but I feel the injury to his "good" knee means he is probably one awkward tackle away from being finished completely.Of course the club should look after him,but playing in such a key position makes him high risk.
Injuries have blighted this season and I feel we should maybe think long and hard,about him for next season iam afraid sentiment in sport tends to get you nowhere and remember the quality he has shown this season,on and off the pitch and see if we can use his vast qualities in some other capacity at the club IMO.

Whatever the final outcome, whether it be this year or whenever I certainly agree with you regarding his retention in some capacity at the club.
He is a great player and a great guy, imo, it would be a shame not to keep those qualities that he possesses within the club for the benefit of the club for future years.

It will give Blair chance to see what he can do at 6, it is what he was brought here for. Maybe bring in a loan back rower to cover for Blair if one is available.

Is 10-15 games enough.....don't know ask Gareth Ellis.
