It looks like Walsh, Turner and Sia will be missing for a while. Last year it would have been devastating but we do have depth this year and options.

Wheeler and Percy can cover the centre spot with ease.

We've got jones who can go back into the back row to cover Sia with also the likes of Flanaghan and Greenwood coming into contention.

The loss of Walsh is massive but I think we can grind a win out next week at wakey.

To beat Leeds without Walsh wil be a very big ask.

We did it last year at Leeds.

oh its not impossible by any means, but it just got alot harder

If we can get Percy and Wheeler playing next week we should be OK, don,t forget we still have a monster, mobile pack, I would have been more worried if Amor and Walmsley were injured.
We lose our kicking with the loss of Walshy but getting the ball out wide quickly we have 2 in form wingers.

Big chance for Wheeler in the next few weeks

Basically what I've posted mate. We got options.

We can play wheeler and Percy centre and move jones back to the pack to cover sia. We've got Flanaghan and greenwood who can also cover the Back row.

We've got Wilkin and lomax who can cover Walsh.

Will we see Savelio (sp) next week ?

If we think our season is solely dependant on Walsh playing, we might as well pack up now.

This is where our squad depth comes into its own.

Turner out but we still have Jones/percival/Lance/Wheeler who can play centre

Sia out but we still have Flash/Jones/Manu/Wilkin as backrowers

Walsh is out, we're buggered.

but Wheeler has previously starred as a play maker, plus Wilkin/Lance can fill in in the halves


Walsh is the big loss, but its not disasterous if our pack can continue to dominate

Lomax
Makinson
Percy
Wheeler
Swift
Lance
Wilkin
Walmsley
Roby
Amor
Manu
Jones
Lms

Wello
Laffranchi
Mose
Flanaghan


That's just a quick team off the top of my head and the is other options to look at but that team above is good enough to beat wakey and Leeds IMO.

Both Wheeler and Lance have partnered Walshy at half back and although they have only played a couple of games I would imagine some of Walshy's experience would have rubbed off on them.
I would perhaps leave Lance at 6, Wheeler is a bit more adaptable and would be better at 7 he plays better in the halves than at centre.
We,ve got Lance, Wheeler, Walsh and Charnock for the halves for me getting more games from Wheeler will be a bonus and produce more game wins.

Lance went down to in the 1st half remember
