Faurlin, 28, has suffered three cruciate knee ligament injuries in as many years but was given a new one-year deal with the club in June. Many players have struggled to re-establish themselves after suffering similar injuries – former fans favourite Akos Buzsaky being an example – and the Argentine says he will have to adapt his game in order to prolong his career. “The toughest part for me is being sensible now. I need to pick and choose when I go [forward],” he said. “I want to always go and chase everything but now I have to be more sensible and think about it more. “It comes with experience and as you get older, but it’s probably one of the things I need to work on most in order to keep playing for many more years. “But I’m enjoying every minute of playing again. I feel good and when I’m on the pitch, I feel alright – I just want to put it all behind me and concentrate on playing now.”
What .............. he's got two guide dogs, cricket knee pads and a ground announcer to guide him around the pitch ........... yep, I'm ok with that. Hoping you have a change of luck and a very successful year with us, Alejandro.
His injuries will play on his mind and understandably - will he pull out of necessary tackles? He's always been more antelope than warthog. We'll need someone competent playing behind him.
