Didn't it say somewhere that he was helping out with the coaching whilst we have no Assistant Coach?

If so, hardly 'out of favour'...

Agreed Paul. Interesting that Lowes comments in T & A today mentions player(s) who might be retiring. I suspect Diskin is in that category and Lowes is building for next season.
I'm also very pleased that the article stresses that he sees the continuation ( and strengthening) of the Academy structure as a key component of the Bulls future strategy.

The tag on the picture says cryotherapy. Could just as easily be a surface application as something internal. Still probably best not to run on the foot you've just had frozen solid, but it's a few days off stuff rather than out for weeks.

Cryotherapy is often used to kill nerve endings as a cure to chronic pain. Would expect a very fast recovery.

That's assuming the treatment is successful.

Given that pain is the body's response to let you know there is a problem, I see problems with the cure, to be honest. Isn't it a bit like cutting off the power to your car's oil warning light instead of putting some oil in?

OTOH if the club shop sold pills so the fans feel no pain, they would make a killing

I think it's more that your're killing the cells that are the source of the pain rather than making your nerves ineffective.

That seems a more reasonable way to look at it. Let's hope it works.
