He was saying in News Ltd a week ago he was definitely coming back next year but the damage to the nerve was very significant so they want to give it as much time as possible before resuming contact work. He suggested it was good enough now to come back but a bit risky in case he hurts it again. I guess in such a short period of time, it might not heal at all if damaged again.
Yeah, by the look of him, I'd suggest he wasn't just being positive, instead being honest.
Looking forward to having him and hopefully TPJ next year, killing it.
I was going to ask him how he was, but he was on the phone the whole time, and I didn't want to bug him.
