I had a bad fall about three years ago. I did what the surgeon referred to as 'the terrible triad', meaning I'd dislocated the elbow, broken bones and damaged the ligaments. I had a frame on it for about six weeks and could hardly bend or straighten the arm at all for a while. After an operation and a lot of physio and exercise I got it to a point where I can bend it almost as well as before (I can lift a pint glass to my lips, anyway) and straighten it about two thirds as well as previously. I also have a titanium radial head now. If it's anything like that I'd be surprised if we saw the same player as the last third of the season.

I'm a little ray of sunshine, I know



In his favour, Shenton is half the age I was when I did it, he's a professional athlete and will have access to the best treatment and rehabilitation available.

Fingers crossed for the lad. Really hope he can get back to form he's been showing the past 3/4 games.

Assuming he gets back ok, I think we'll see a lot more of him once Lomaskell have a full off season together in place and have the ball moving well both ways, which we didn't really see this year.

Lomaskell will be nothing more than a fond memory once Lance is dropping balls all over the show in the halves next year.

The public will not allow it. I can see the banner now.

I can see Lomaskell and Lance sharing the role somewhat.

Whether thats over the course of a game or between matches I'm not sure but I'm fairly sure that royce will be glad of having some options.

I'll be booing constantly if he plays 6 or 7 at any time. Lomaskell must stay.

Dont boo him Union might come in and take him away to a dark place and take all his friends too. lol

I've heard about that dark place in Union. Dirty and very smelly with funny noises and unknown creatures that tickle your skin as they flutter soundlessly by.

You can just rotate props and second rowers from bench to starting dependent on who we are playing and if we want to go for size over mobility etc

You're getting confused with Widnes...
