Guess it's a good job we didn't get rid of John after all!!!!!

Why play him in the third game running don't get it !!! We know hes our main man why risk him.

Seeing as he's our General then he needs to play so that the others can learn him inside out, pointless leaving out your playmaker.

Exactly, He needs to teach the new signings how he plays so they/he can adapt to them. If he is seriously injured I wonder if Goulding will return from Doncaster??

Hindsight's a wonderful thing and like Trinity said above he's the main man, everything attacking wise goes through him and the team simply need to practice before the season to get their moves sorted in a game scenario.

Fingers crossed that it's only a knock - it would be devastating if he were out for the start of the season.

He's on dual reg so can come back if we wish. Played his first game for them today vs Keighley and won man of the match.

if its bruising that looks bad enough to be mistaken for a break, Im not sure it'll clear up in time for the Bradford game, so id not be expecting to see Tim smith again until week two at the very earliest, possibly week 3.

I badly bruised my leg playing rugby. Was on crutches for few weeks. About a month till I was right.

Either way its not good news. This pre-season has not need kind going into 2013.

All the best to smith for a quick recovery.

Lets hope its just a bad knock as Wood wont be ready but gives another squad member a chance to show what they have or not as the case might be.

this certainly doesn't sound good news at all for Tim.
I too suffered a similar injury in which the bone had cracked and not a clean break, the bone could of splinted and when snapped tend to pop through the leg my recovery time was eased as I didn't need to wear a pot and had a heavy strapping to keep it in place

fingers crossed for you Tim

Not sure if I'm happy now that we've got teams at our level for the first few games. No Smith could be decisive in us dropping a few big games. If he's going to be out, I'd rather we got rid of the Wire and Wigan away games, if you know what I mean. The first six games are all ones where we could pick up points and against teams who will be round about us by the end. Bummer.
