Terrible news for him, ACL season ending injury, class winger. Thought Wakie would do well this year, big blow for them.

A shame for the lad, it's the same injury he had last season but on the other leg.

Awful news.
He's a quality player. Definitely got pace to burn and you cant coach that. Hope this injury doesn't knock his confidence too much. Speedy recovery to the lad.

From Chesters interview he said they were looking at bringing some more outside backs once they get the Wire fixture out of the way.
Caton Brown, Inu and Gelling possible taegets.

Let's be fair Jinj, MC denies every possible signing, always saying where's the money coming from. Then signs them.

Last time I looked you were getting about 2m from sky, and the council were just about to drop another 3m and a bit into your coffers.

Should cover the wages of a Mason Caton Brown should he wish to go back to the Trin.

Didn't think we got the full 2M from SKY as we're penalised fiscally for BV being a dump.
