Just did a quick google and if it’s a broken wrist for Sicily he could be out for a while! :sick:

How are you looking with the carnage baz? Still plenty of time for you to catch the leaders.
um.... depends?

Should be able to cover Gray with Guelfi but if Sicily is out I'll be able to trade to someone like Yeo or Hurley, which would be a pretty standard move for those with trades left ;-)

My mail on Sicily from a reliable source is a broken scaphoid.
The peculiarity of its blood supply is the primary reason for this prolonged healing period. Whereas other fractures in the upper extremity require an average of 6 weeks, a scaphoid fracture requires an average of 12 weeks if treated immediately, and as long as 6 months if the diagnosis is delayed.

Still young enough to become a better human being - a good amount of confidence is always good, just need to project it differently and not walk all over others ;)

Science has discovered that Redheads have genetic superpowers and a higher pain tolerance (maybe true) so I'm expecting Sicily to only miss 3 rounds.
I have a friend that broke his left scaphoid in 1990, and his right scaphoid in 1993. In both cases he missed the rest of the season, which in both cases, was 10 weeks+. He was the best player in the team, and would play with various injuries. Both seasons we played finals, and he would have given anything to be out there.


His doctor said to him, when diagnosing the 2nd broken scaphoid
"I've never heard of anyone breaking both scaphoids in their lifetime, it's like having 2 holes in 1!"
My friend replied
"Geez, I wish you hadn't said that, Doc. I've actually had 3 holes in 1 in my life!"
True story! :)
