Very sad news for him indeed.

I am looking forward to the game should be good for both clubs and I expect fairly strong team selection from both, injuries and niggles permitting of course.

Slight tangent I know but I've just read this weeks League Express and it would appear that Les Cats have a bit of an injury crisis of their own...Fouad Yaha has had shoulder surgery and is out for 5 months, McMeeken is out with a broken wrist, Tyrone May is recovering from a dislocated hip and Tomkins is recovering from a knee operation. Plus, I believe Pearce is still banned and not eligible to play against us ??

The downside of your post is that although Tompkins is recovering from injury, I have it on good authority it will not stop him refereeing the game unfortunately

Tomkins is a massive loss for them, they are a completely different side with him on the field IMO, although they have an exciting replacement in Morgue, they miss Tomkins influence on the team when he`s not playing.

I`m hoping that we can catch them cold and come away with 2 points.

Plus I read they did not start any pre season training till after the new year. But even with all those points in our favour we still need to be on top of our game.

The bookies are giving us 4 start and all in all , I think that's good , so I have had a few quid on us already.

Has the game sold out yet? Got my ticket yesterday

Does anyone know if Tanginoa is injured? Not featured in any of the pre season games so far. Also, interesting to see Proctor will be starting prop.

Tanganoa has an injury that he said would keep him out 2/3 weeks.
He did a small interview 2 weeks ago before the Fax game ..
So I didn’t expect him to be in the lineup for this weekend.

Proctor looks a bit heavier than he did in NRL which is possibly deliberate for the middle positions he’s now expected to play.

Can't say I noticed but if he has I'd suggest it's more due to him not having played for a year, give or take.

I think anywhere in the middle Proctor will do a proper job.

unless its a typo as battey is down at 13?

no smith, is he been given a rest?

I'd say that's wise against his old club, can get over emotional at times and that's where injuries happen.
