Kirke to bench, JJB to prop, Hauraki to start?

Was on a Rhinos facebook page that BJB is out for 16 weeks, is this b0llax or does anyone know otherwise?

Sad, maybe... but did anyone else imagine William Shatner talking into his intercom when reading that?

unfortunatley it is true. gutted for him.

also, silverwood and bentham have swapped roles for the weekend.

One wonders whether BJB will be able to cope long term with the physically demanding nature of the game.

Lets see what Hardacre can do then, I'm sure he was being dubbed a world beater by some Whitehaven fans

A real shame for the lad......all the more reason to lament his omission from the Leeds team these last few years: cruelly diminishing our opportunities to see his talents more often.

Glad they have added Hardaker to the squad.

Perhaps we will see him given his opportunity after the club has tried everything else including playing forwards in his place and perhaps bringing Alan Smith out of retirement

I actually read the above & marvelled, a sensible, pertinent, non-trolling post.

His two injuries are completely unrelated. The skull injury he got last year was a very rare occurrence - I can't recall it happening before. Shoulder injuries are not so rare in the game and more of a concern ongoing, but it seems to be hit and miss as to whether a player ends up suffering continual shoulder injuries (David Creasser and Gary Spencer come to mind) or not.

Its the same shoulder he had operated on what made him miss out of the Four Nations last season.

I wonder how many operations you can have on the same shoulder?
