Still injured

Platt has done his knee according to todays T&A

Looks like we've got a shortage of numbers already - don't like the look of anything other than Kearney and Sammut in the halves, but who have we got for cover for Platt?

We could do worse than putting Elliott Whitehead in at centre as he's played there before and wasn't disgraced by any means. His berth in the SR could be covered by Donno or Danny Addy, leaving Foster at FB and BK in the halves.

Bloody hell you guys don't have any luck with injuries do you?

Don't think it would be for more than one week - though we've thought that before and been updated...so hopefully it's not a crisis yet.

Galey is due back next month (I think) which releases Kearney from the halves into his usual no.1 job and Foster into the threequarters, which means we should cope, though we've known all along that more than a few injuries could be pretty catastrophic to the season.

Got to keep Sammut and Kearney in the halves

Got to borrow big Karl from Dewsbury in my opionion

We don't need to change people in 3 positions because our winger is injured

Yes I was thinking along those lines

Whitehead or Walker into the centres, Blythe out to the wing. Then Donaldson or Addy into the 2nd row.

spot on

Are you sure we're allowed to do that?
Would it just work like a very short term loan? Do loan spells have a minimum period, or can we loan on a game-by-game basis?

Kearney and Sammut is a much better half back combination than Sammut and Addy. It's whether we sacrifice the half back pairing and bring Addy into scrum half, or move Blythe to the wing and stick Whitehead at centre, to keep the half back pairing the same.

Also, just seen that Cas have signed Gareth O'Brien on a 1 month loan deal to cover for Rangi Chase.

I did wonder if we should've been in for O'Brien with our lack of cover at halfback.

I'd be surprised if we get Pryce on loan for Friday, more likely it'll be Blythe on the wing and Walker in the centre.

Franny asked me if I'd play, but sadly I'll be the worse for wear after attending a wake.

What? Thought he was just concussed? That's a bit of a nightmare.

If the dual reg with Dewsbury works both ways, I would ask Karl Pryce to come back for a week or two in a shot.

We all complained about his short comings,but think hard, does elliot kear offer anything any better.

Karl might not be the hardest worker but his try scoring record his as good as anybody in the league

To do that over so many games is not a fluke
