No one is bitter but the problem with injuries is two fold:

1 - When they happen, the resultant shuffle on the field disrupts the play and too much results in plan a & b thrown out of the window

2 - Squad players are not the level of first pick team. Penny would not have dropped the ball yesterday as Ormsby did with the try line open. We was 10 - 0 I think at the time before the Russell breakaway.

No surprise Cas are starting to play better and Hudds when the numbers are coming back. Does anyone think that Leeds are seriously that bad they should be bottom?? Watch them when they get healthy. They will rip the lower 8's to bits and make a farce out of it. All I am saying is that we are not healthy and other teams around us are in better nick so we need to hang on until we get bodies back. Sandow, Atkins and Evans will be a start. Hughes is a big loss for us presently.

Don't think we will need sandow against leeds, I'd prefere him 100% ready rather than pit back in early in a game we should win comfortably without him

I don't think the cub would risk him unless he was 100% ready. If Chrissy plays his week it will be because he is 100% ready.

I would hope so and if we were playing better or getting the results I would agree but we need a win and a loss to leeds will have huge effect on confidence and can u imagine the reaction if the do beat us. The kind of injury he has had needs to be 110% fixed there are many instances of players having the same injury reoccure shortly after they are back to fitness. More so in.football but it's probably a morecommin injury in football than rugby.

Our season does not hinge on.the next game but it does hinge on having key players fully fit leading into the top8s and putting them at unnecessary risk atthis point of his recovery is dangerous, I believe widnes in cc is a more realistic target for his return. Two weeks full training to gain confidence orbit again n.get some fitness back will do him and us no harm.

He'll I believe we should also be resting gidley against leeds also, for me this is a game we should be looking to give some if the fringe players a chance, imagine the confidance it will give them potentially/probably beating leeds?? That's worth the risk for me if available.
