    Then why are you wondering about Rodger?

    They made him faster... stronger... and named him Al Location. It's pure money I say!
    US Spurs repped this.

    It will be great to get Torres back. I hope he returns to form and that they start to let him play a full 90.

    Did anybody else see this quote? Not sure what "got around pretty good" in the locker room means! Cause if it means the kid still has a lingering limp or is gingerly moving around, getting match fit in just 7 days doesn't seem likely!

    But what if he can't play a full 90. Has he ever?

    I love him as a super sub. It would be great if he could go a full 90. But I'll believe it when I see it (to be fair he might have, but I can't remember a time he did).

    He was running laps without a knee brace prior to the match with Valdes, Jack Mac, Hernandez, Mwanga and Albright.

    Was he wearing a knee brace? We saw him before the match when he was arriving to PPL and he had a knee brace on.

    Until they let him play 90 minutes on a regular basis, we will not know if he can.

    Roger will never play 90. his diet of coffee, soda and baerly a meal a day won't ever allow his body to handle it.

    just speaking from what I was told from other players currently and formerly on the squad, not my personal knowledge.

    Does this mean more allocation money?? Cause I heard we don't have enough. Nowak wants all the allocation money from every team.

    Glad to see Roger is ready to get back on the pitch. With him about ready to play again I think this increases the chances of Kai leaving.

    It looked like they subbed Roge on during the second half yesterday. Can anyone who went comment on how he looked in the game?

    Never got the chance to come on, they were going to sub him in the 88-89th minute but given that there was only a minute of extra time he never got on the field.

    And according to Kerith Gabriel, when he first checked in with the 4th official, Roger didn't have his shinpads on. Whoopsie.

    Considering the officiating last night, I am surprised that they even noticed that.

    I don't make this stuff up. Roger has poor habits and is lazy...
