Look at it this way, they agree, play in 3 weeks, both Patterson and Chase are back after suspension, how is that fair on them?

Yeah, I agree mate. You could also get into some unhealthy 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' scenarios.

But on the other hand looking at another thread the likes of Keighley would be?

For all the faults of DR I wouldn't like us to get into a football situation where the haves can consistently and directly influence and manipulate other results in the same division by tactically placing their players against their rivals but not against themselves, Chelsea have operated this proxy team quite openly. Genuine emergencies are fine, but, it needs to be controlled, is it by the way? A sense of fairness must prevail particularly now that the spectre of relegation is back

I can still remember reading (in the days when I used to buy programmes) Brian Johnson's match notes for that night's game (the Lancs Cup semi v Widnes 89) I never use injuries as an excuse, they are a fact of life. I just get on with it

Salford have squad/young players. They'll have to be used.
Suspended players.....diddums. Don't transgress, then.

Seems like the "good" Doctor wants his own way again. I hope Hull tell them to shove it.

With my nostalgia head still on, I can recall a Warrington side in the early 80's, depleted of over half the side through injury, having to go AWAY to HullKR (who were THE club at the time) and managing to get a 9=9 draw.

I dare say Hull wont be charitable, as it's dog eat dog this season, with potential relegation on the horizon, every 2 points will be crucial

Deal with it

It's embarrassing for a pro club to not only ask this but to announce it on Twitter too is just dreadful. All that money and he hasn't bothered starting from the bottom up.
Get on with it drop the whinging mentality and keep your business in house and not all over social media.

Everything about that bloke just smells

I will be appalled if this is agreed. As somebody pointed out, three of these are suspensions.

Apparently, Ian Watson and Martin Gleeson are set to play this weekend.

Two fingers to all our haters. .... 2.06103515625:5
