Parling Injury

[tonyw]

Lets hope Parlings neck injury gets better sooner rather then later, with Kay retiring it may leave us short in that dept.

[tb1]

I hope he gets better as well, but we have:

Deacon
Skivington
Green

and at a pinch:
Croft
Crane

So we should be o.k. anyway.

And Richard Blaze...

And Richard Blaze...

If Blaze is fit then he will be big for us this year.

Is he actually playing again ?

[tb1]

And Richard Blaze...

I think he is not expected back until around christmas time, or have I remembered wrongly?

[dailywaffle]

November was projected as a possible return for Blaze, but that was quite a while ago. So Christmas may well be there or thereabouts.

[smalldell]

With none of Skivington, Deacon or Green on the England radar we should be ok....apart from injury.....I think we may see Crane in the 2nd row if things get tight.

Blaze needs to be 100% + fit as he and the club need to be sure his body can stand the strain.

I personally would not be surprised if we do not see Blaze or Parling until Late Jan or Feb.

I'm missing something here. When did Parling injure his neck?

[tb1]

On the jaunt to visit the crims. I didnt realise it was so serious though.

[kornboy130]

Does anyone know how serious it is?

[tb1]

Does anyone know how serious it is?

I had the impression that it wasnt that bad but smalldell said late Jan so I guess I must have been mistaken .

[Darc Tiger]

I would think the press might have run a story on it if it was THAT bad.

KEEP THE FAITH!

[dailywaffle]

The Parling injury was reported as minor when in Australia, and nothing has subsequently been reported.

I'm not concerned until such time as I hear anything more substantive.

I can't find the article, but hasn't Cockers said that only one player would be unavailable for the start of season - i.e Blaze?

Daily mail has a one liner - last line of the article
