Wheelchair Rugby superstar Ryley Batt still isn't clear if he's going to play on but he does know that in the immediate future he'll be under the surgeon's knife. After scoring 158 tries in 5 matches Batt will return home with a Bronze medal to add to the 2 Gold medals and 1 Silver already in his possession but with a back held together with tape. He told Ned Hall that preparing for the Paris games has taken a toll mentally as well as physically. But he's not sure that he can leave behind the Steelers or the Paralympic Games after 21 years on the team.
