Injury/Suspensions List

My guess is Montoya and Leatigaga out for season.

My guess is Montoya and Leatigaga out for season.

Certainly, between Dolly signing and reading that, I'm tempted to agree.

I think it's likely that Nadolo at least may be being targeted for the ¼ if we get there, Brink maybe a week or two later, neither is worth a longer term injury pushing them back too soon.

As the new hooker has, according to my more knowledgeable Tiger mates, been registered for Europe, it does appear Montoya is out for a very long time.
Shame our training crocked him! He is world class and with him in the side along with Wiese, Hanro, Lavanini, Wells, Martin Cole and Genge with Heyes etc as bench players the pack would really test all sides if we kept our discipline.

With regard to Montoya definitely a reasoned assumption.Obviously hope that we are incorrect however.Any side would miss a player of his stature and ability.

I did wonder with the investigative medical mention - often you get stuff like stress fractures that look nothing but take ages to repair. I was sooo looking forward to seeing him and LadyGaga on return to WR!

Ashton 6 week ban (misses game vs Tigers)
Dunn 3 week ban (misses game vs Tigers)
Muir 2 week ban (misses game vs Tigers if Bath lose this weekend, if they win he's available to face us)

The Ashton decision makes intresting reading given he contested the charge and doesn't have a great record in terms of discipline...

[Bunchy]

Well Charlie Ewels has been banned for 1 week, Bath have said Dunn and Muir having their hearings Wednesday evening, no word on when Ashton is having his, but given the lack of news about any others suggests likely no tigers have been cited at the weekend, as expected.

Thanks TFS. Guess Dunn and Muir will be suspended for the Tigers Bath game at the Rec in a few weeks then

Dunn definitely - he got 3 weeks, Muir will be back providing they win against Zebre as he got 2 weeks
C. Ashton got 6 weeks - contested the decision and lost

Chris Ashton perhaps not the most sensible to contest the red decision....

Thanks for that

No update on Montoya still.. guess he is out for the rest of the season

[RagingBull]

For me it sounds like
Montoya + Leatigaga out for the season
Brink about a month out
Nadolo potentially back for prem.

Sorry for the delay have got round to updating the Original Post which is now up to date. Let me know if any other updates pop up that I've missed

Ok so Borthwick isn't giving out too many statements on injuries, but we do get snippets here and there so I thought I can compile a list of who is injured and what latest we know about them is:
