You also missed TJ from our list and if your including Mclelland you can include Hampshire who is our back up half option. Also you can include Walker as our back up full back option.

Think it’s pretty even on the injury front. That said this game against Leeds is a very winnable fixture and this next 4 games I think anything less than 2 wins will be disastrous. I really hope we come up with the business. There has been steady improvements the last 2 games. The sooner that win comes the better.

As far as I m aware Johnston will be available for Leeds so no I didn’t forget him, I did point out that mclelsnd muller and east mind were second choice - and excluded them from the analysis - that’s why I submit bother mentioning players at our club that aren’t in the 1-17

Regardless it’s about evens on injury front. I hope you are right and TJ will be playing but unable to train for 4 weeks and being match ready is optimistic imho. I hope he does play though. Will be a big boost.

I’m hoping Alex Walker will be back too so we have a full back option. We’ll see soon enough when squads are announced.

Are you sure he’s unable to train, not saying you’re wrong but I can’t find where he can’t train other than contact?

I’m sure I read it in an article a few weeks ago. Certainly saw it referenced somewhere though it could’ve just been on the forum. I hope that he has been able to at least do some light training and running to keep his fitness up.

Suppose it’ll come out on Wednesday with the team.

Apparently the game is also on YouTube for those that do not have Sky

Check out "Injury update with Ryan Carmody" on Trinity TV . It's in that interview.

I knew it had come from somewhere credible just couldn’t remember where. Cheers.

Hopefully even if not able to train he’s maintained some level of reasonable fitness and can be brought back into the fold soon as possible (health permitting).

My interpretation of that was he couldn’t do contact training I didn’t think he meant general fitness training. One for Monday perhaps.

Could certainly ask for some clarity around it that’s for sure.

Favourite game of the season for me ,Leeds away always seems to bring the best out of us and I’m hoping for more of the same this Friday. Doesn’t have to be a win, but happy if it is ,as long as we carry on putting the same effort in that’s been evident and our luck will change. Those passes that have gone to ground will stick at some point ,we’ll find the gaps and get on a role ,at some point , it’s just timing , confidence and patience, and really hope it starts this Friday and kick starts our season.

Apparently, this game is live on YouTube Friday, Apologies if it’s been mentioned elsewhere.

Apparently it’s part of the deal between Sky and free to air

Don’t know why but I think we might win this one, I have nothing to back it up but hey.

Perfect game to get themselves up for ,if not a win a good solid game will do for me .
This just could be game we kick on from and play the rugby I know they have in them ,but so far hasn’t been applied for the full 80
