Goddard out for another Month at least, and Bradford aren't willing to let Matt James become cup tied ruling him out of Fridays game.



See the Courier site for Full Storys on each item.

Very Disapointing news even more so with Goddard out for a at least a month but at least he will be back.

Hopefully Dwayne will be able to prove him self now!

bugger..... we didnt miss either of these players though when we played Widnes last time. Lets hope the others step up to the plate again.

Gutted about this, really am. I have faith though in our current pack and Mr Barker

thats because they have just had the news that glen morrison is going to out for 3 months with a wrist injury

Thats what I thought when I read it. He has had his moments this year so lets hope he steps up and does a job.





I just hope Calland doesn't think Robert's is the stop gap as he is defienately a better player when in the pack.

Barker has shown glimpses, but we need more!!!



Agreed, Robbo was a little exposed at times on the flanks on Saturday with their 3/4s taking him on. Much better in the thick of it.

Gutting about Goddard and can completely understand about Bradford's decision. Lets hope Worrincy is fit so he can come onto the wing and Haley back in the centres.

To be honest I am not too bothered if we win or lose on Friday in the cup-We will have little chance of getting even to the semis. If we lose so what!



We have not seen God this year really and we face Haven away which will be hard but apart from that the other games are easier and we should win. Maybe we will look to get a loan player in but certainly no need to panic

Don't under estimate the positive financial impact of some more prize money plus a good gate at home v a super league side (even shared) could bring to the club. Could make the difference for the squad.



I know the winners of this competition will be awarded £100,000, the losing finalists will receive £50,000 and the losing semi-finalists will each receive £35,000. I don't know what you get at the early stages but a few thousand plus a good gate is well worth it (even with win bonus payments!)

I would disagree - i would like to see as many games as possible this year and i don't think there are any easy ones in this league anymore
