Sorry I went keyboard drunk - been winding up Leeds fans too by the looks of things.

Despite this, I feel we're in better shape than Leigh at the moment.

I agree with you there. There's nothing wrong with our back up strength, but we appear totally disjointed with so many changes - especially with the likes of Smith & Whiting having to settle straight into the team. Both excellent players, but they haven't even had time to learn the language yet - never mind the plays!

Hey binosh. Hope you have a better day at nursery tomorrow.. dont forget teachers apple

Quote: Bets'y Bulls "We don't publicise injuries at all. I have no idea what's up with Clough, Williams, Crossley, Mendieka, Kavanagh or how long they will be out'" One the most annoying attitudes in the UK, whereas in the NRL its public knowledge as shown in the succinctly called hurt locker www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/injuries

Has the privacy element disappeared from health matters, then? Do we all want our personal health to be discussed openly in the media [I accept there are differing levels of public interest - or prurience..]. Surely, employers are expected to keep private any details they may have of employees and are responsible for any leaks? Aren't the Bulls just a good employer for safeguarding the personal health matters of their employees?

I mean, I recognise the way the health service is going, and pretty soon, within minutes of visiting the Doc, we'll all be getting 'targetted' adverts about which private company can treat our condition best but let's keep it decent as long as we can, eh?

I don't get that, I (partly) pay the wages to the team I support, and since time immemorial, I have felt entitled to a bulletin such as, "he's done a cruciate ligament, will have an op and be out for 6 months", or "he's sprained a shoulder, should be fit in a week". Of the hundreds of thousands, or maybe millions, of such bulletins issued over the decades, by sports clubs of all kinds worldwide, daily, I'd say it's fair enough, and why on earth would a player object? If I were a player, I'd positively want my fans to know the basic facts. Many players openly state stuff on social media. If any given player did object, then the club could say we can't disclose any details for reasons of confidentiality but that would happen one in a thousand or less.

I want to be updated not least because sometimes the injury sounds absolutely bonkers. Who else can remember Withers having a "Misaligned pelvis". What the hell is that?

Errm, yes, I know. I wasn't being totally serious, btw, though I would have thought you[with daytime job hat on] would have seen the lane I was meandering down.

Back on topic and it appears that Richard Silverwood is to ref the game. Glory be, maybe there is a god after all! Presumably Joe Cobb is unavailable...

Confirmed on RFL Website. RFL finally learning from last year and appointing a strong referee.

Every week NFL teams have to list on players who are injured. They then break that down in to different categories Good to go, Probably, Doubtful, Questionable, Defiantly missing.

Thank goodness George Stokes is at Halifax this week!

Probaly not! However, most of us realised that the opening game didn't prove much in the overall scheme of things, and we were proved right there!

As for our new additions - we are looking forward to actually getting some of them on the pitch!

Could you elaborate with a sentence that makes sense please because your previous effort doesn't.
