This is a massive blow for them, he is a key player if not arguable their best player. I will predict that it ends there title chances

and let the rumours start that we have signed him.

A comment has come my way from the JJB, but I was saving it for later.

Why save it til later? let us know now. Or was your last comment said with tongue in cheek?

Here you are then, but take it light heartedly

Lindsay has been quoted as saying “will he (Hape) be fit/ready for next season”. I must point out knowing how we all think and I know we will make far more out of this than realism, I have posted it out of devilment.

But apparently he did say it!

I have to admit i have heard a few mumbles that he was coming here next season, and i heard it a couple of weeks ago. Before anyone asks it wasn't anyone at the club and i don't have an officail source, it was mentioned to me by another fan i sit near.

Like all rumours, I'll wait & see. It would be nice, though - can we have Vainikolo as well, please?

Huge blow for the Bulls. Could derail their whole season

Well now he has picked this injury up I hope we don't sign him. As with other players who have copped injuries like this it could take at least a season for him to get over it and maybe longer.

It would be DV all over again in which case I'll take it as a nailed on signing.
