hoiw long is Scott out for any idea please

He is coming back to France in the next week I believe but where that puts him in terms of getting in the side is not clear.

His health is the important issue here.

What about cover for Pryce and Webb if they get bans ? How are you guys fixed for replacements ?

We play with 12 when Webb's there anyway, so we might just go in full-backless.

Leon - early guilty plea saves him from a ban. But he can't do that again this season. Played his joker, if you like.

We are by most people accounts short of bodies.

Is Baille fit yet?

I'll be concerned if we're short of bodies in August/September, not February.

Good news all round, really.

Is anyone else getting a theme here in Johns posts ?

Catalan scrum-half, Scott Dureau has been given the go ahead to return to the club after an off-season health scare. Dureau successfully underwent surgery to remove a tumour in January and following a recovery period, will fly out to Perpignan to join his team next week. His return will be a welcome boost for the Dragons who have won two out of their three Super League fixtures so far. READ MORE ON THIS STORY....

Amen to that.

Scott is a great player and a better bloke.

Hey guys, we put Scott on the plane to his French home last night (Sydney time). First day back at training on Wednesday. Thanks for the wishes and comments you are a good bunch of lads. A heads up to you all Scott won't play for a while yet but if all goes well he will play again this year, just later rather than sooner. John D might be close to the money with his thoughts

As long as he's well, the rugby will take care of itself. Great news that he's on his way back - in every sense of the phrase - and thanks for the update.
