Just who is injured, with what and for how long?

The rumours are deafening! lol

Gregg McNally - Knee - 6 months, maybe the season

Liam Kay - Knee? - Unsure how long

Tom Armstrong - Broken Hand - About 4 weeks (ish) away

Willie Tonga - Groin? - About 4 weeks away

Mathias Pala - always injured - let go

Martyn Ridyard - Ribs - Not sure how long

Rangi Chase - Flu?/Hip? - No idea

Bob Beswick - Achilles - No idea

Andrew Dixon - Shoulder - 4 weeks ish I think

Sam Barlow - Pending court case - No idea

Plus Higham and Higson looked like walking wounded at times on Sunday. Higham is playing through an injury and I believe Worthington is playing with pain killing injections due to lack of alternatives.

And now apparently Ryan Brierley is leaving too.

What a mess

I reckon the bad news probably hasn't finished yet. Hope I am wrong.

It's all collapsing bubble bust

1) McNally
2) Pala
3) Tonga
4) Worthington
5) Kay
6) Ridyard
7) Brierley
8 )
9) Chase
10) Barlow
11) Dixon
12) Armstrong
13) Beswick

All missing, add a big prop and that looks like a top 4 side to me

Out of the 4 or 5 on that list that are not injured I think realistically I would love to see Liam Kay at Fax. In Brierley's case we have no chance, I wouldnt touch Chase with a barge pole, good chance Barlow wont play for a while and Im split on Beswick.

Riddy proving his Leyther cridentials tomorrow. Has put his hands up and taking pain killing injections to help out with the half back problems. Good news in a week of bad news. Shows what the club means to him.

Well if that's true C & W, that deserves a massive>> To the lad.

He isn't in the 19 man squad, can it be changed?

Yes it can. It's for fan/press information only, not binding.

Much respect to Ridyard if this is true. You'll be a different proposition (assuming morale is good in the camp) with him on the field. Best half in this league by some distance, better than a lot in super league too.

To be honest its admirable if Riddy has done that but I wouldn't risk it or him.
Its early season and we've only lost one game and despite all the doom & gloom we have started to look good the more games we have played despite the huge injury crisis.
Ridyard will be critical towards the end of the season so lets get him and all the other players right and fully fit for the business end of the season.

Agreed unless we absolutely have to bring him back let him recover. I think last season any of these injured players would have been played. We seem to have learnt our lesson, no point having players playing with an injury all season then not being fit when it matters, let them recover properly so they are fit come the business end.

I agree with Jenky and LS

Big raps to Riddy for offering to play injured (if only some others showed that commitment to the cause). But he's bound to be targeted by the Eagles and one big hit could set him back weeks, never mind leaving us a sub short on the day

Way too big a risk IMO.

He should not play, if he does he could regret it.
