cummins, fava out for season

[force addict]

jw, who will replace cummins? mackay? daruda? spanner?

[jono]

this sucks, i think fava is a massive loss he has been the best loose forward the last 2/3 weeks.

with cummins gone to alot of players are going to have to step up.

last 2/3 weeks?
i would say most of the season!

Spanner I think is coming back next week....

Excellent. Dad said if Cummins broke the bigger bone in his leg, he could be out for 12 weeks! thank goodness it is nearing the end of the season, unless we enter the FINALS!

Definately... IMHO anyway.

And I think he was leading The West's player of the year thing before last weeks game (haven't seen this weeks votes)- equal with Crossy.

Gonna miss him ALOT.

[jono]

yeah. that doesnt surprise me

From the one match I have seen, ie the last one, it's a shame Fava didn't move to #6 years ago, he may well have seen a few more Wallaby Caps for one...

Spanner I think is coming back next week....

Did anyone read the newspaper? I know its not overly reliable but it said he has a 15mm tear in a ligament in his knee which requires surgery.

[force addict]

so this may tarnish his comeback?

[laura]

This may prolong his comeback or end his comeback this year. Hopefully not though! The atricle also said that this is the time when Wallabies selectors will be paying particular notice....Hopefully they have been watching him all season adn he can still make the squad!!

[jono]

i dont think there will be one. because they said the tear was there at the start of the season and its gotten worse.

if hes been playing that well with a semi buggered knee. after he gets it sorted he will decimate ALL!

See "Giteau earns his purse" thread for the article about Staniforth's knee.
