Speedy recovery Rob

Hope he is back soon but someone told me yesterday he would be out for 8 weeks.

Speedy Recovery Rob

I thought props were tough?!

I had an operation on my thumb and I was back doing the programme the week after. (of course it was my left thumb and I type with my right hand - well, index finger actually!)

Hope all went well Rob and that you're back in action asap. Meanwhile, there's always the day job!

I suppose Parker & Aspinwall can keep relatively fit with the type of injury they have but we could really do with Taylor back although repeat headaches from a bad concussion doesn't sound good. Does anyone know how far Aspinwall is from a come back?
