Wouldn't be surprised if it's from him demolishing that camera when he scored, adrenaline probably got him through the game but I bet it wrecked when he stopped moving after the match

Not saying they are lying but swelling doesn't last 2 weeks... Eckersley is a decent backup though, he was good last week.

I think the problem stems from last season.

I know they rested him at Sheffield due to the artificial surface and that pitch in Vegas was rock hard by the looks of it as well, so it makes sense to give him a couple of weeks off. The fact Eckersley is at an age and stage of development where we need to get some more games only makes it easer to rotate a bit when needed. I wouldn't start it tomorrow (or for the next couple of months) but I'd personally target a little block of games to rest French and Smith for a game or two each and get Farrimond a run of opportunities. It's only going to help us in the long run. 

Depends on where the swelling is, if its on the knee it can last a while, I had it for about three weeks when I took a knock once, plus being on a flight can be the worst thing for swelling hence why people wear flight socks
