Watched it on Sky Eddie and Stevo seemed to praise the Stains players (Ginge and Soliola sp) for bending him in double. If it is a back spasm I am more surprised it is not more than that, it looked very painful.

Maybe more would have been made of it if the players kicked off.

players do get hurt by non illegal tackles you know?

Must remember that line the next time Warrington/Saints/Leeds (*delete as as appropriate) fans are on here howling about a Wigan tackle injuring one of their players and asking for said player to be hung, drawn and quartered.

Wow.

Petty bickering this early in the thread!

Aye, Who'd have thowt.

well said

in fact nobody has even mentioned/questioned the saints players who were involved in the tackle, but if it was the other way round....

Excellent, my mod keyboard arrived this morning.

Krids Rads sais in the South Stand bar that Hoff has "a serious back injury" and is a doubt for next week.

Going to be a big miss against catalan if he isnt fit.... You're going to need all the forward power you can get against their big pack.

Rads seemed pretty convinced that Hoffman will not play this week.

To me, if its bad enough to say that right after the match, it may well be one to keep him out longer? (if you understand my logic?)

This could turn into a bit of a problem for us.

No Fielden and Hock for sure. Mossop, Coley and now Hoffman all doubtful for various reasons. Not what we needed vs Catalans.
