SEDGLEY PARK prop Gareth 'Tank' Roberts has undergone an operation on his troublesome knee and will probably be out for the rest of the season.
"It is a real blow," said Fourie. "He has a fantastic attitude and his enthusiasm is infectious.
"He works that hard that at times he does the job of two and we will miss him.
"But to be fair the two lads vying for his place - Petrus Du Plessis and Matt Collie - are putting pressure on each other because they both want to start, so they are both at the top of their games.
"Also Dave McCormack is getting back to match fitness and Danny McGee should be back in contention within a month."
