Latest issue was Pectoral tear (hence the running) and they are playing it by ear. In DPs video interview he mentions Benny and says that he isn’t putting a timeline on it because of the problems he has had so far this year. I don’t believe he will be too far off and believe he is committed to get back out ASAP.

If he's still commited to the cause he can make a big difference in the remaining games

I wonder if we're leaving Roberts for the rest of year and doing gentle rehab with him to get him through his injury problems ready for a big pre-season.

I think they've realised rushing him back has only resulted in him picking up new knocks. No use bringing him back when Truey's doing a good job and risking causing him another injury that sets him back out of pre-season and behind the eight ball again.

Only Cook and Foster it for the season so far. I'd love a close to full strength team Sent out to gain momentum, catalans at home would be good.

It’s relative though, eg when I did my right knee in, after a while of compensating with posture and balance I did my back in and other knee & cartilage

Saw him up at junction 32 this morning and he looked fine, no limp, carrying one of his kids.

Strikes me as the exact type of player who could suffer with nerves and anxiety etc. Hope he’s ok.
