I hear you. I was just reacting to the way news can be reported now more than the news itself. I think vague news tends to bring out the hopes and fears of people as a reaction, as a generalization.
Given Roddy still hasn't been cleared to jump but says it's progressing, if we assume the gap from being to run and jump and game shape is only a couple weeks, it would be a safe bet his debut won't happen this CALENDER year.
