Sad news regarding Fats. Looks like he could be out for 3 month's due to his arm not fully healing. Infact you wouldn't blame him if he decided to call it a day although lets hope not. Here's wishing him a speedy recovery.
On the plus side he'll only miss a small part of the real season but thats assuming the arm heals well. This puts more pressure on the likes of Baines to get match fit. Even without this happening I still think we need a big prop/2nd row but now I'm even more sure unless DR wants to blood one of the youngsters, say Ford.
