Flood may be out for months

[fleabane]

Ford may well get the call to sit on the bench.

Pat Howard use to put Seru at FH and Humphries at OC, or behind Seru to give him protection - Cockers could do the same for GF, but with Manu? as protection.

Staunton vs Steenson - a match-up to make the mouth water....


GASP... as the first drop goal attempt sails wide in the first minute!
CHEER... as both sides go for goal with every penalty award!
APPLAUD... as tactical kicking to the corners dominates play!
WATCH... as both sets of outside backs scratch and yawn whilst waiting for a pass!

... or he might be fine.


He got a knee injury, and will be having a scan (as is usual for an injury of any sort). The diagnosis of up to 6-9 months and the suggestion that he is definitely out for the AIs is entirely stuff from the journalists' head.

He might be right - he might be wrong, but he's basically guessing. He knows as much as we do, and is filling column inches.

What's all this sensible stuff? Have you learnt nothing from your 700-plus posts? We demand grief and woe and misery and a reason to criticise Cockers for being too conservative and not giving 12T more game time than there are games. Basically we want the moon on a stick. A very droopy miserable stick. Pointing out that Tobes may not actually be busted that badly and perhaps we might wait on the results isn't going to get those blood pressures up, now is it?

Didn't you realise that many Tigers supporters are direct descendants of the 14th century flagellants?

Let's wait for the official verdict from the specialist themselves.

[salcombe bob]

he'll be fit for the England matches then!!!!!!!Hooray not!!!

[Darc Tiger]

"England stand-off Flood, who saw a specialist yesterday, has been ruled out for up to two months by the medial ligament strain which forced him off at Franklin’s Gardens just before half-time."

Not as bad as feared. We can handle that I feel.

There's an orange-tinged fly half currently negotiating a release from his contract. Would be a fine injury dispensation-esque signing while Toby's knee recovers from it's latest scrape...................... maybe

[Uhtred]

If he's out for just two months we can't sign anyone under injury dispensation.

[POSTIGER]

Oh wait my wife has just informed me that the aforementioned is taking part in Strictly X-Factor Dancing on Ice this year. Priorities eh?

He can get match fit in under 2 months? I doubt it.

We have Staunton, 12T and Ford. No need to panic and clutch at an orange tinted broken straw!

It was more a tongue-in-cheek suggestion Bill! I'm not sure prancing about in your underwear is ideal preparation for a rugby player......however it worked for me on the odd occasion

I'd rather have Paul Burke back in the team than the oft inebriated, orange clown
