Thing is if you do a hamstring then it is almost always going to be months rather than weeks, which is why when the injury was announced along with "he might be back next week" I assumed either he had nothing at all except a the mildest of mild hamstring tweaks (not our sort of luck); or would be out for months; or else it was just a cover story.
I am on the one hand very surprised that he decided to stick with us, and much respect to him for making that choice; but OTOH despite having played a lot of hours, to me he hasn't really shown much at all this season, yes he has not had a proper halfback to work with but then after Gale left, he never did, and yet before the thug Groat crocked him, he was regularly putting on magnificent displays. I'd even say maybe he's never fully recovered from that. There does, to me, seem to be something missing from his game.
I'm sure in the right team, used correctly, he can be and will be devastating for someone. For more than a couple of reasons, though, that doesn't look much like being us.
