Would like to see a top quality full back come in. Someone with pace and strong in the tackle.. Wonder if Craig Hall is been primed for this position due to the lack of quality ready made full backs. Louis Sheriff had a bit of bad luck with his knee but he is no where near the answer.

Yet.

I think sheriff will turn into a quality fb

Out for between six and nine months with a knee construction so, definitaly need someone now pronto.

Gutted for the lad, potential real star and doesn't need that at this stage of his career. Chin up Louis.

Aye, its a real shame but he's young and fit, im sure he will put it down to experience and come back even more determined in a few months time, wishing you a speedy recovery Louis lad.

When did this happen god who's our full back for saints game can feel a wave of dread coming over

A few good backs let go of over the last 12 months. Too few signed and blooded either at 1st team or on a dual, hence the situation now with no long term replacements for briscoe, fox etc. Sherrif too small and slow to cover wing as well. Might try Latus at FB?

Or just play Briscoe there, am I missing something?

Oh yeah oops forgot brisco was back last week

i think it happened the last weekend, apparently they are hoping to send him under the knife in the next few days subject to aproval from the surgeon, as far as i understand and im not 100% clear on the issue, if the bleeding is to severe then he may have to strengthen the tissue around the knee first before he can have the op.

Ok clever clogs and what about next season they hey hey

God that is real bad ain't it bless him at such a young age to

6 months out, he'll be about ready to prepare for the new season. Will power, innit?

I think Brisco has some kind of injury as well though im not sure how serious it is and if it will keep him out of Sundays game.

Briscoe's only injury is that he has no fear, made of steel that kid.

I agree, except for that piece in the middle of his face, i think thats probably a bit of soft bendy metal.

I always remember someone saying he had a face only a mother would love, his sister, who happened to be within earshot, spouted "no, she hates it too".

Golden moment.

Always terrible, especially for a young player breaking through. Hope he comes back well.

usually have to wait about a month from initial injury, during meantime will still do weight to strengthen leg quads and hamstrings as they will weaken post op

It depends on the surgeon.
I can't totally be sure as mine was on the NHS but from what I understand it all depends on Swelling.
It is a long and painful road back as you well know Karl.
I remember after I had my right knee reconstructed.
First time I went to the physio post opp he had me on a exercise bike.
When he first said 'Get on the bike' I honestly thought he was winding me up as I couldn't walk at the time.
I had to grit me teeth that much I thought I was going to need to visit the dentist.

I have had no problems since as thankfully I was under Mr Cain who now only deals with private patients apparently and who was once called 'God of knees' by a physio.
If you are going to have surgury have it done by the best is the way to go.

Your 'ex' fullback had a cracking game on Weds, scored 2.

You're more than welcome to him. Just keep him away from pubs, cctv cameras, the internet and friends cars, and you will have a cracking player.
