Fortunately we've got two 'easier' games coming up in Crusaders and Salford so he wont be missed . If the injury is not too bad hopefully he may be back when Saints come to town.

What about the Exiles game. I bet you he will not get any sleep tonight worrying if he will be ready for the exils match.

I did say I'd rather have Carvell. I do believe that Lynch is an excellent prop though. He has shone in, frankly, drivel Bulls teams. I think if he given a go at a big club he'd put his heart and soul in like Moz and Gaz do.

I do agree that Jamie Peacock is the right choice though. Better than Carvell this year though?

worse case it could end his season, which would be a shame for you guys because hes been a great signing for you, as a leeds fan who was there last night, congrats on your win you were faster, more skillful, harder and all round better than us last night, briers and carvell were immense! i bet briers wishes youd have got TS sonner because hes certainly playing out of his skin at the moment. Top coach, just wish i could say the same about Mcdermott ha

No, not at all. Peacock has only played a handful of games this season because of his long-term injuiry, and Carvell has been in awesome form throughout the year.

I'd love to see him sign a new deal. Realistically, in Super League, we won't find a better replacement than Garreth.

In all seriousness, I think Carvell is rivalling Graham in the impact-on-a-match stakes. Graham has been overly used this year (and last and the year before that) While Carvell comes on and appears to just steam roll teams. I agree whole heartedly with you, there is no replacement in super league for Gaz. If we can keep him for another two, I think we'll be on to a good thing.

Griffin is one of the best props nowadays. But not fashionable. He's so reliable.

- A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports.

- A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.

- A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer.

God, I hope not.

Medial strain 3-6 weeks, if it's snapped then next year.

Can't see anywhere where Smith has commented on Joel's injury, didn't see anything on Super League extra time after the game?

The only disappointment for Warrington was the loss of winger Joel Monaghan with a knee injury.

"He's not great," said Smith. "I think it's a medial ligament problem."


I've read it a couple of other places, but I can't find them at present.
