Oh, it's season ending alright. My old man went to watch training last week and spoke to Rich himself. Rich said the fracture in his arm suffered in the Rovers game will take 12 weeks to heal. Furthermore, as we all know Rich has a metal plate and 6 screws in the same arm from a previous break. Rich himself said that once this latest fracture has healed, he will have an operation to remove the plate and 6 screws. This effectively leaves him with 6 more fractures in his arm which then need time to heal themselves. Unfortunately the op cannot be carried out until this latest fractures heals so all in all Rich suggested his absence could be anything up to 6 months. All we can hope is that his arm, after all of this is as strong as it was.

I would hope they would take no gambles with Rich and do what is best for his long term health. He is an important player for us and I would hope everyone looks at the big picture.

Really hope he gets the plate removed, he has plenty of time to heal in the off season and will e back fit and healthy in plenty of time for pre season.

What the point playing the lad in the playoffs.Let the lad heal properlyand get him ready for next season ..Best of Luck Rich

Maybe a stupid question, but can you have an MRI scan with a plate in your arm? Or do you mean MRI once the plate's out?

If you do an MRI scan on someone who has a plate in their arm, the arm will explode and the plate will emit an EMP which will take out all electrical items within a 200 metre radius
