Well it was at least a few days since out last injury, so I suppose we were due one. www.totalrl.com/huddersfield-gia ... -pectoral/ You have to seriously suggest we are in in the market for someone now, especially since Patrick has gone.

Stroke of genius letting Larne go.... No, really!

Prob the same genius who's been operating for some time, Maybe Tickle would have just filled a gap short term after all.

Except larne isnt a prop (and never has been in my eyes) and neither is tickle- but hey let's not let the facts get in the way of another moan.
Poor huby- he's having a tough time of things the last 6 months!

huby was looking very good on his comeback games too, hard on the lad.

good job we have crabtree back but no doubt this is a big blow for us, hopefully have him back for the end of season run in be it in the super 8s or middle 8;s

good news about connor though!

Larne is a forward who has plenty of experience at prop. We are now another prop forward down for 12 weeks. Those are the facts.

Moan !! is there ever a minute when if anyone disagrees with you or says something you don't like it's not a moan or they are a bad fan ??

The person is concerned that we have picked up an injury on a major player having just let a player Anderson praised to the ceiling at the start of the season go to Castleford.

We have a thin squad so what happens if we 'cop' another injury or two especially another major forward ??

Will pointing that out if it happens be a moan ?? Since when is pointing out the truth a moan ??

larne doesn't want to play for us that was obvious last year when he wanted to go to Wigan- Regardless of the "spin" at the start of the year and how much we rate him the feelings are not bound to be mutual! -You can't keep a player who doesn't want to stay- niether would I want to. Folk are talking like we had a choice, that we "let him go" when it could be that actually it was hobsons choice.! The other issue is larne isn't a prop forward- and id rather have a young kid in who IS a prop who will give 100 % every week than put larne in there who isn't and won't.

Without huby and smith we look v light up front.

Also puts pressure on JJ and Mason to perform each week, and to stay injury free. Goodness knows who would do the minutes up front if Rapira gets injured....?

Sorry Jools but in all sincerity am struggling with the logic here You're happy to let a non prop go to Cas and prefer to have young lads who are props be thrown in at the deep end against it (fact) last seasons triple winners
But happy to justify to me and others that a seasoned half back went to full back even though we were struggling at the time....? Will sleep on it and try again tomorrow !

"It's OK people, Huddersfield are top of the league. We are the bookies favourites for the Grand Final. You can bet your lives on it. Larne Patrick was crap anyway. And besides, we couldn't make him honour his contract" - jools

To be fair the young lads didn't do too bad against Wire and they weren't a complete failure against the Pies. My original point was actually a general point that we are light in the forwards now (not realky news though) Bar a cracking run of form in the cup we aren't going to do much this season, so it is good in some respects that a by product of our situation is the young lads getting experience for next season and beyond.

We need a new prop fast!
Mason and Johnson are capable but no prop is going to get a rest!
Not partically bothered either way about Larne going but I'm hoping we are on the verge of a replacement very very quickly or another injury could destroy the entire season completely because the way I see it we are helping rivals Cas Tigers and not helping ourselves.

We still have a good chance of making the 8 if we can beat Leeds Friday night. The experience for Mason and Johnson will only do them good later down the line and for next season. Good riddance to Patrick I'm glad to see him go. However, we urgently need to sign 2 players if we are to compete in the 8s, either a Prop and a 2nd Row or 2 Props. Huby will be back for the 8s if we can make it. How long till Ellis is back?

I hate to say this and I may get shot too but I wouldn't lose too much sleep if Crabtree decided to retire at the end of the year.
