When do we expect to field our strongest side?

Post by Smudge »

Any guesses when we will be able to field all of our best players in one team?
I am aware that training is fairly "full on" and there are always knocks but does
anyone have an idea with respect to existing injuries?

Probably not until after Christmas assuming no new injuries.
The reality is Flood won't be back to full fitness for a while.
Muager - will he ever be fit again? So perhaps we shouldn't include him in the debate.

If you mean the strongest team available then next week.

If you mean the strongest team from the whole squad....Don't hold your breath......

Thanks for the merry quips but I was hoping for some informed replies
with reasonable estimates concerning the situations of our injured players.
The club seem to keep us in the dark on such matters.
Recovery from ligament and spinal injuries etc. must be subjective of course but
even a rough idea would be something.
I am ever hopeful that some A team players will take their opportunities when they arrive. For instance, how long are we going to be in giving "Crazy Horse/Geronimo" a chance from the bench?
Keep us up to date please, that's all I ask.

The longest injury must be to Flood. I can't see him being back playing competitive rugby until the new year. A ruptured achilles is at least 6 months and considering he did it in May, likely return date is December or early January.

However, the most worrying injury has to be to Mauger. Those back injuries always seem to hang around and often seem to never completely heal. Lets face it, he has been carrying that back injury since April/May and it hasn't cleared up yet!

Louis Deacon had a back injury and he's fully recovered from it now. In today's Mercury it says that Mauger is fit to play this week, although he'll probably start on the bench due to a lack of match fitness.

It took the best part of a year for Louis to recover though!

Yeah, but back injuries are strange things - not every injury is the same so they take different periods of time to recover from. Both Mauger and Deacon were 'ready to be selected' before being pulled out again with a recurrence of the injury, lets just hope it's fixed now in both cases.

I am saying my prayers, we really need him right now but would also like to see Twelvetrees get a run out soon.
