cudjoe will miss his testimonial which we knew anyway, but more worryingly is the news that from september when he has the op on his knee is that he could be out for upto 9months!!!!!

the injury curse hitting us again?? mcgillvary has always been more effective with cudjoe inside him. suppose we will have to hope for a speedy recovery but thats big chunk of the season hes out.

gaskell to play inside jerry?? seen mellor play there enough to know hes not good enough at centre, murphy could play centre though too.


we need to figure out whos going to play inside mcgillvary in pre season and hope it works.. if rankin/brough doesnt work then gaskell will have to move from centre too!

Leroy is the only injury at the moment, it's the best record we've had squad wise for 10 years going into a new season.

Leroy has a very slim chance of being fit for the start but that's only if he makes a miraculous recovery.

important player missing though, not just a squad player, our captain too.

Yep, true but he's the only one - so far, got an army training camp to get through yet!!

From what I’ve heard he’s lucky he’s going to be playing again at all! He’s had the best consultatmt working his mGic- so hopefully we will see him come the split.
It’s a massive blow- we don’t have anyone else of his calibre to fit in. No one else has the defence, speed, power, agility and big hands he has.
Gaskell and Jerry would be a defensive nightmare so please not that.
I’d be tempted to put symonds at centre, as we have Ollie who can play second row -
I reckon Ollie, symonds and Jerry could work well!

Sam Wood is our best defensive centre. I'd be happy to see him have a run there inside Jerry. Think it will be Gaskell/Murphy though...

sam wood has never let us down

we need someone solid in defence but someone who can also put jerry in for tries!!!

gaskell prob the best bet for that with his attack

something the club has known about for a while so they should be working hard pre season to get the best formula

Appreciate its all opinions, but mine is that Cudj is the defensive nightmare.
Always running out of line leaving Jerry exposed, and never putting tackle in preferring to jump on players back so we lose 10 yards if his "tackle" sticks

Well it won’t be Mellor

yep two centres down before a ball has been kicked

gaskell a show in now you would think for that spot next to jerry
