Is there any update on Gareth Ellis's injury?

What kind of time scale will he be out?

Not heard anything which leads me to believe that something's afoot.

I fear no news is bad news

or it could be that they haven't heard anything, or that they're keeping out of the press for a few days to let the SMC stuff "have it's head" so to speak.....?

According to HDM Ellis & PG are going to see a surgeon today so willl have a definate answer later. They dont want to say anything until they know for certain.

Haven't they already been to see numerous doctors/specialists?

When a club has some money and one of it's senior players gets injured they tend to seek a few expert opinions, Gentle went with Ellis yesterday to find out what the options are, I'd imagine they're discussing them to chose the right one.

When is Eden back, by the way?

I see what you did there

Bah - was just about to post that. Beaten again

I thought AP made an announcement at a meeting last week that some on here attended and said he was out for 10-12 weeks ?

Yeah, he did at the disabled meeting but nothing been mentioned officially yet. Maybe getting a second and third opinion before announcing it?

a friends husband who works for hyundi minstergate old me ellis was getting an automatic last week as he couldnt use his foot and is out for upto 12 weeks!

whilst i dont disbelieve him i'll still wait for the club to confirm

peter gentle was talking to a few of us sunday night in star inn willerby. he said that his injury isnt fully diagnosed yet but looking at the possibility of a stress fracture. he said they was waiting on last years scan results being sent from aussie and also fresh scan results. he said if it is stress fracture then 10 - 12 weeks. i must stress that this wasnt definate but was from gentles mouth.
as a side note the reason gentle was there is because the team my lads play for - hull wyke - were holding there annual fundraising dinner sunday afternoon in willerby manor hotel. gentle had promised to attend but due to rearranged match couldnt be there. He found out that most people go in star afterwards so he and shaun mcrae popped for a pint and a chat. mark of the man i think

Probably and rightly so, I don't feel too confident though and fear it will be a while

its gonna be at least 4-6 weeks. put it that way

Totally agree, always good to hear things like this.

That's a very defensive response to a reasonable question. You're not worried are you?
I just assumed that if its true that he has already seen several people about the injury, someone would've given a rough estimate to when he would be available.
Eden resumed full training yesterday by the way, not that I see what that has to do with Ellis.

Very good form that. Seems like a really decent bloke.

I'm not worried in the slightest, we beat a good Bradford side without him, how many league points have you got so far this season?

Why are you so intent on derailing this thread?
All I said was hasn't Ellis already seen several specialists, you are yet to answer that and are instead, obsessed with quite embarrassingly trying to score petty points against Rovers.

Nope, I just don't understand why you're even commenting.

How did the 'arvin a laugh investment go?

Strangely enough, I'm a rugby league fan posting on a rugby league forum!



You're doing it again by the way. Are you sure you're on the right board? We are talking about a Hull FC player and his injury. Please explain what that has to do with the former potential investors of Hull KR.

No you're not, you're a troll, and a pretty poor one.

Ask a reasonable question, get a series of irrelevant responses and yet I'm at fault?

Are there any sane people who can tell me if Ellis has been examined already or is this surgeon the first person who is able to give an accurate explanation of his injury?

According to the club the initial scans showed that the previous injury repair was unaffected however the specialist needed further scans to diagnose the new problem. Those scans were due to be available this week - today if memory serves.
