What is O'Brien's injury?

Also, in Zaminer re Mamo injury 'likely to miss three weeks' and 'could take a couple of weeks' are mentioned?!!

Gaskell
Jerry
Leroy
Murphy
Darnell
Brough
Ridyard
Seb
Hinchliffe
Mason
Roberts
Ferguson
Clough

Wakeman
Mellor
O'Brien
Dickinson?

Leeming if fit in for Dickinson and Clough to bench as normal.

Have we still got Ridyard or is his loan up yet?

Would expect to see Taai back and would also expect Daniel Smith to play before Dickinson.

Ridyard is on a week by week now. AFAIK there is a minimum initial four week then anything after that is up to the parent club.
We've been expecting taai back for almost 6 weeks




Rick stone mentioned Tyler as one to come in. Smith wasn't mentioned. TBH I'd forgotten about him!

has to be mason straight swap for rapira.

Think id go:

Darnell
Jerry
Leroy
Gaskell
Murphy (Murphy Gaskell combo was going well on Friday 1st half)

The only problem with Gaskell at centre is his defence can be suspect and we will get tested out wide against Wigan as they score lots of tries out wide.

Brough
Ridyard

Seb
Leeming
Wakeman

Mellor
Ferguson
Hinchliffe

O Brien
Mason/Clough
Taai
Roberts

I think our young blokes are doing extremely well in the 2nd row ...Roberts and Mellor these 2 really could be stars for us for years to come. I think Mellor will be even better next year after a full pre season here. With Bruno due back soon I don't think I would actually recruit 2nd row in off season if Symonds is to leave id like to see us recruit another prop.

If Taai can get back to earlier form at prop it will be great to spell him with Seb.

Im hoping Wigan may have a few sore bodies such as Bateman, Gelling and Tomkins after not playing for so long and then playing with a 6 day turn around.

I'd like to see Dan Smith get a good consistent run so we can see what he's got. Always liked him when he was at Wakey but hasn't had an opportunity to prove himself.
Wakeman started slow and is improving every game, I hope Dan Smith can get that opportunity soon. Will be like fresh legs and increase the competition for props

I had the same concerns as you about Gaskells defence- I watched him carefully last week and he looked quite solid. Made some important tackles and didn't miss one that I saw. Perhaps him defending our wider is better.

Historically you've always sent your players to Wakefield to coach them to a level above they've been playing at shudds, prime examples being Drew, Grix, Wood, George, Snitch, and not to put too finer point on it Craig Huby is now showing the skills you paid good money for, maybe it might be good business for your club if we took Daniel Smith back till the end of the season and coach him to the standard your club does not seem to be able to do.

Aww bless, wakey think they are actually a good team and not just having a staggeringly lucky season

That's a staggeringly imaginative mind you possess squire if you think that we have been staggeringly lucky to finish in the top 8 two seasons' on the trot, where as last season you finished bottom and this season your hardly setting SL alight and will do well to escape the middle 8s again, good team or not, I don't think it would be fair to your club for you to draw comparisons between shudds and Wakey.

As soon as the split has happened wakey will go back to their loosing ways. we have had a ridiculous amount of injuries that has crippled us the last 2 seasons we will be back.
