Perhaps a disclaimer alerting the reader to the sarcasm might have been appropriate. In big red letters.

Lets hope Long is okay for the leeds games,he needs to start forming a good understanding with Horney

If it was a break surely that could of been diagnosed quicker. What was up with horney yesterday?

Horne's knee swelled after the dobbins game apparently,

ok i agree we haven't seen the best of longy playing alongside rich horne yet but had he not come off injured yesterday, he may have gone on to have a really good game...who knows?!

i don't believe he is crocked either since he has looked after himself on the pitch over the years

i really hope he is back for the CC game againts leeds cos then he will probably play his best game for us so far. fingers crossed!

Injury must be bad . All quiet does not bode well .

According to Humberside.No break could be ligament damage

bradford signed orford after we signed long.

Hope it isn't a break as it could mean the end of the season for him and don't fancy his chances much of a big season next year if he hardly plays this. Overall has been very disappointing which is pretty much what he was at saints last season.

we offered Orford a contract, but he wanted to wait 2 months before making a decision

I think that's a little harsh. It's disappointing that he has picked up a few injuries, but I don't think the player himself has been 'very disappointing'. A little below par in some games, perhaps, but it's early days yet.

Not that early. He's nearly 20% of the way through his contract with us and has only really put in one top class performance. I'm very disappointed by what he's done so far. Has been anonymous in some games which is not what I expected. He was always likely to pick up injuries

That he's been in and out of the side with injuries hasn't helped matters. Neither has the lack of a stable halfback partnership and threequarter line.



I don't know about 'likely', but it's certainly a risk with older players. That being said, there weren't hundreds of quality scrum halves kicking about, so we didn't have a huge number of options.

Seems you're as disappointed as me then

I'm disappointed that he's picked up injuries, yes. I'd say his performances could be better, but I'm not 'very disappointed' with them. He's been in and out of the side with injuries and played with different combinations around him. Overall he's not fallen a great deal short of what I would have expected.

So its a sprained ankle
