Saw Matt James at the game and he said he is still about 8 weeks away from coming back. Hopefully we will have him for the play offs.

I do think we need to bring in some fresh players to see out the season, the squad we have are playing well but it is a long season and any further injuries may prove crucial at the end. If we can get players in and getting up to speed with the Fax style of play, they can help out when needed.

I'm, not sure Matt will play again this season. The club immediately after the injury happened made an appointment for Matt to see the specialist and if surgery was required (pretty certain it is) he would have been operated on pretty much straight afterwards. Meaning he would have been in pot now and probably nearly 2 weeks into his rehabilitation. Matt didn't turn up for the appointment the club made for him and is due to attend another appointment next week now I believe. He has a slim chance of making the playoffs as my understanding is the earliest he will get the op will be the week after next now. He would be in pot for approx 8 weeks, meaning pot comes off for first round of playoffs. Bit tight in my opinion but fingers crossed.
