The following has just peen posted on the rovers forum

Just to let evryone know, Chev's operation went well last night, he's awake this morning and in good spirit. I spoke to a nurse on his ward in Leeds Royal Infirmary who informed me he may need a 2nd operation but they won't know until the doctor/surgeon has been to see him today. I'll be going to vsit him at some point this week so I will pass on any well wishes. When I hear from Chev (when he is allowed his mobile phone on) I will update further.

As pointed out, Walker doesn't take up a quota spot, so there would not be any point to de-registering him and paying out his contract. Hopefully he'll be back playing at some point next season.

I think everyone associated with the club should just focus on giving him all the support he needs on the road to recovery.

Jesus wept, he's just suffered a horrendous leg injury and yu want to discuss whether or not we should get rid of him? What a fool, He needs our support right now

You can't really say untill you know how bad it is. He could be back for the start of the season, or, god forbid, it could be career threatening. Lets just hope he gets well soon.

You can only register 25 players so if Walker is one of them Rovers will have to make do with a squad of 24.

He will definitely be de-registered until such time as he is fit to play again.

If Chev is de-registered until he's fit again I wonder if Stan might get another year?

More chance of me playing next year lol

Where have I said anywhere we should get rid of him? All im saying is that its possible that the club will consider it. And, as this is a discussion board about the affairs of hull kingston rovers, i think its a fair point to raise.

Have some compassion, It's not a valid point to raise less than 24 hours after a bloke has snapped his leg and could see his career facing ruin.

Get the surgerys out the way first and let the medical staff give the poor bloke a timescale on his recovery

Its a legitimate point to discuss imo regardless of how long after the game it is.
