Be nice to see him fit

I really hope so. We will need him even more whilst Floody is injured.

I was really surprised to read that his injury mentioned in the same sentence as "career threatening". But oh well, at least he'll be back for the start of the season!

I really hope so, but I heard from a good source that the injury was the end. I hope not for him and the tigers as we really missed him in the last few weeks of the season. We really could have done with him in Edinburgh!!. Really hope to see u next season Aaron.

I think he could be even better next season with the pin taken out of his ankle.

"Mauger appeared at the Heineken Cup final on crutches, but Cockerill revealed that was due to surgery to remove a metal pin in an ankle.

"He had surgery on the ankle a few years ago and, with him being out it, seemed a good time to have the pin out," said Cockerill."
