A real sickener for him and the club, not to mention the fans

Shame for the lad.

Unfortunate but will Trinity ever learn. Never understood this signing a player overweight discrepancy concerns and why past his best. Gaskell will be another
Yet the club let Rocky go

Thought Tom was OK on the SL show.....
Although that was a very dodgy John Motson-esqe coat!

Lineham has had no serious injury since his Hull days and the lad is obviously sickened by this . As for Gaskell throughout his career he has had quite a healthy average of games per season. Unfortunately he did have a lengthy lay off whilst at Huddersfield. That can happen . Just bad luck . Injuries could have happened to any signings.

They do at this club, at least this coach seems to be after signing younger player's .

It may be worth extending the loan with Escare who can also play on the wing….

I don't think Escare is our choice but let's not bin Murphy off just yet.

Dont know about his prowess on the wing but, he's certainly an excellent stand in at FB.
The biggest compliment you could pay him v Toulouse, is that you forgot he was playing (ie, no holes in the line, no dropped balls etc).
For a first game, he did very little wrong.

I agree. I like him.
Apparently the problem is he costs a lot.

Oh dear it gets worse!

Have we missed him or Gaskell since they’ve been injured. Not really, which goes to show how poor the recruitment has been this year.

Has the army lad or the London lad even played a game yet either?

I agree it is a good squad when you can handle injuries and not miss them.

Yes I think we’ve missed them particularly Lineham vs Leeds and Toulouse… although if Kershaw or Tupou were fit we might not.
Both others mentioned played reserve grade … the trialist left the field injured… same game as Croft made his return from injury…

Are you serious!!! Of course we’ve missed them, I think the results alone tell you that. Against Leeds we needed an experienced winger. Gaskell craft would probably have helped in every game missed.

Your last comment is beyond daft, we have a squad of 30 and you expect us to use them all I five games? In gods name why would anyone think that! So in your mind we don’t want a settled team, we don’t want back up, success is measured by how many players get a run out, unbelievable!

Doris the tea lady is also yet to play, oh the horror.
