James Bell has a very good injury record.

People also said the same about Sezer, Cust and Asista, who I think haven't missed a game apart from HIA.

Yeah but he's currently injured.

They also said it about holmes, Cartwright and watts

It doesn't matter if he is injured, you indicated he had bad injury record, that is wrong.

Not all signings will pay off, but our recruitment overall has been good and you have to back Myler to get the signings right.


Cartwright is a huge loss, not sure Holmes or Watts are.


Watts injury record also isn't too bad either.

Watts was injured before we signed him and is old now 

What's bells injury record? He's currently out for a while so his recent record isn’t great obviously. How many games has he been playing a season?

Bell played 31/34 in 2023 and 26/30 in 2024.


Missed a few this season but mainly for selection reasons, he's been 18th man a few times.

Let's hope this is a one off then

The problem for me with that is, I don't want a competitor like cust sat on the bench. It's better for us that he's on the field.

He can still jump in there during the game if need be. Cust and Sezer have gone OK for us so far this season. It's not an area of our team that needs changing at the moment.


Pryce had a stinker last game, but stinkers do happen. I don't see why Cust needs to be dropped to the bench just because Pryce had a stinker.

Rapana will be in the centres, Hardaker and Chamberlain still playing in the 2nd row.



if we get either of the moore brothers officiating, were screwed anyway!

Let’s be honest Pryce wasn’t the only one who had a bit of a shocker. Think he probably was trying too hard against his old club. Also don’t think the minutes the likes of Ese’ese, Knight, Asiata and Bourouh has been helping either. Would like to see us use Balmforth a little more to give Bourouh a breather. With Ese’ese, Knight & Asiata we’re up against it a little due to injuries and having to counteract that we simply have no 2nd row options. 


Still think we are way ahead of where we expected to be but that down to the work put in by Cartwright and his staff and the players who’ve bought in to what is asked of them. 


Leeds will be a tough one and one if I’m honest I’m not expecting much out of. Hopefully the weekend off game wise has helped them reset and recover a little bit. 

Cartwright still another month away

Need Holmes and Cartwright to have really strong 2nd half of the season. Good chunk of cap and a quota spot been wasting currently.
