I like DHMs suggestion. I too want a Puig Aubert clause. No, I don't mean to act like a sexual deviant like the Puig Aubert that posted on here but to be able to smoke ciggies during the game like the original legendary Puig Aubert, as legend goes.

The man was a genius.

What's it got to do with Ian Kirke?

now now.

Exactly why Leeds impress me. That is a hell of a hit with injuries really, in essential positions too. Yet you'll be in top 4 or 5 atleast when the crux of your injured players return in my opinion.

ooh your so gracious with your compliments
ok i'll send you one back
your lot will eventually win a gf in your lifetime
Shame i didnt post this earlier as i would have added that the wire would also have beaten the saints in your life time too
you are still alive and well i hope?

I said 3 or 4 years ago that all Wire needed was a decent coach and they would be contenders - well they have and they are.

Enjoy it youve probabaly got this season and next after that to acheive it (Tony Im only a 4 years coach of one club smith)will be on his bike, this was a comment he made when leaving the rhinos, "3/4 years is log enough at any one club it becomes stale after that", as I said brilliant coach just enjoy th ride it will probably be over soon !!!

rlWebb, Ablett and..... TMFMISLrlin the running for Saturday.

That's a remarkable turnaround for Ablett.

Indeed - I only hope the club aren't planning on taking a gamble on his longer term fitness to cover the short term loss of others.

I'd rather he missed another week or two if it reduces the likelihood of the injury recurring.

...and here in lays the dilemma, do you play a 75% fit first choice player or a 100% fit academy lad?

Is a first choice player at 75% still better than a young inexperienced academy player?

Glad I’m not making those kind of decisions.

Or rather, do you play a 75% fit first choice player and risk having him missing for another chunk of the season because he's come back too soon and the injury flares up again, meaning you have to play the Academy kid for a couple of months rather than just a couple of weeks?

It's hardly a huge surprise thought that he might be fit.

The club announced after the Hull game that he would missing for up to three weeks (21 days). The fact that he might play on Saturday will mean he has taken 15 days.

I would guess up to would have meant between 2 weeks and 3 weeks, so 15 days is hardly a massive improvement on that.
