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

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