"It was a laceration to his knee, and the hope was that they could just stitch him up and get him out there, but where it was on the knee it was just going to keep opening up so we just had to keep him off, which is unfortunate because he's an x-factor player that might have made a difference [on Saturday]".
"He has been training in the midfield a lot during the pre-season because we have a number of 10s and he's probably seen that he can get more opportunities in training when we put him into the midfield. We think he has the skillset and bravery."
"He was really impressive in how he handled around the contact area. His work-rate off the ball that is not shown on the TV, but if you look from the wide view at his ability to run across and fill gaps."
