I fear injuries are taking their toll (as i feared they might at some point). Said before the season started our squad is not strong enough in certain areas and i stand by that.

It is indeed great to see Paul Sykes back, and in his Testimonial Year. The LBSA will be collecting for Paul's Testimonial at the game - please give generously.

Doubt Sykes will be playing, picked up a hamstring injury at the weekend.

Good news is he’ll still be there on Saturday

Hopefully back on home soil (ok rubber) we can put in a decent performance, with the injuries looks like a few of the youngsters will have to show what they can do.
Worrincy looked good against Toronto he could cause a few problems.

I think we all know about Rob Worrincey.

Didn't they give Sykes a framed top last year at the game?

My lasting memories of him is his amazing skill to kick the ball out on the full from out of hand or of the T!!

He was a great kicker - didn't miss many 2 pointers. I miss the good old days at griffin park!

I am amazed that Paul Sykes is still playing the game. That was a nasty injury he got whilst playing for us. He was out for ages and the word then was he might have to give playing. Still he goes on.

He was one of our excellent signings, was it 12/12 he kicked at griffin park one game?
Shame he left, if I remember right he left on the back of not really being able to afford the cost of living in london, his request for a pay increase was turned down so he went back home.

12/12 v Wakefield in 2005....they were great days with a great team!!

Great to see a few back from injury but we are decidedly light in the halves/hooker area. Wonder how many will have to play with injuries?

Plus
With 7 players out, the squad seems to be at breaking point.

Interested to see how we perform without Api, he has not done it for me playing in the halves. A bit more experience in the pack bodes well.

Believe Hellewell is out for a couple of months.

Coped without api pretty well at the start of the season, meadows was doing a decent job. In fact we seem to have played just as well with him as without.
