Class post this mate, as I said in my post we will miss galea in defence and for his work rate yes he ain't a line breaking second rower but he makes up for it in other areas

whiting, galea and ellis missing leaves a massive hole in our back row with a game against cats coming up it will be a big ask against their massive pack

Some pathetic comments on here about Galea's injury.

We may all have our views who we want in the team or at the club, however if they are part of our club we should support them.

Injuries not only hinder team selection, they also hinder training. Whether, you rate a player or not, I've no doubt playing alongside someone like Galea in training will benefit many of our squad.

Like the majority of people on this thread, I hope Galea and all other players make a speedy recovery from their injuries.

Lynch, Houghton, Ogre
Tickle, Westy
Watts

Bench: Johnson, Bowden, Green, Pitts.

pitts really doesn't cut it for me. Nowhere near big enough to play prop. There's a reason leeds let him go. I also have my doubts about johnson as I don't think he's big enough either

lets face it for most people its because he's an ex rovers player. if he had come from wigan nothing would get said

Was just about to post the same thing - his first couple he wasn't great but since then he's been one of our better forwards, and is one of our top try scorers.

People on here get ideas about a player and nothing they do can change their mind.

I think people were used to Manu busting through through tackles on our left side, and were expecting much the same from Ellis so just feel underwhelmed by Galea. He has a top work rate and is a very experienced player, I hope whoever replaces him steps up to the mark, would like to see Green given a go.

I've been really surprised by Pitts, wondering why Leeds actually let him go. He seems aggressive, gives everything every game and good in defence. Whether he is a prop, I don't know, but in the back row/13 positions I like him in the team.

Johnson just like Aspy.

Hello all. First time poster but long time reader of these boards. Hope to make a few friends on here along the way.

Sad news about Galea. Never good to hear of a player injury so here's hoping he makes a speedy recovery. Here's also hoping we see Ellis in action soon.

Johnson doesn't look as big as he did when he first joined Wakey from Saints to me. Seem to remember him having more impact in the tackle but playing less minutes. Think that's actually what we need more atm.
