Sounds like Shaul's injury might not be a bad one. Any insight on who might be back for this one from the current list of 9 which I think is as follows in estimated time left to return:
Hadley
Shaul
Manu
Talanoa
Sneyd
Griffin
Abdull
Westerman
Bowden

Top 3 at least should be back I'd hope, obviously Bowden's done for the season.

I predict we'll win this one and Rovers at home.
Can see us losing our two remaining away fixtures and against Saints at the KCOM which will leave us far to much ground to make up to reach a semi.
I won't be too disheartened.
We have performed admirably in adversity.

Talanoa said yesterday he is hoping to get the go ahead to start running next week but is still a few weeks away.

Sneyd targeting the Rover's game.

Westerman, they are not sure about and monitoring, I have not read anything recently about Griffin and Abdul

Cheers. Hopefully Taylor & Connor come through unscathed, then 6 missing, not too bad compared to other weeks.

Shaul
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Connor
Miloudi
Kelly
Harris
Green
Houghton
Paea
Minichiello
Hadley
Manu

Taylor
Matongo
Fash
Washbrook

we need to get a run going if we are to make the top4, gonna be hard but it can be done, get a few players back and imo we have a chance,

we simply don't have the forward power, and we are playing three players who have gone a season too far in Mini, Manu and Washy.

Don't agree on Manu, think he still has a lot to offer and plays enough games to justify his salary.

Mini needs to be spelled IMO more, not sure if we should keep him.

No surprise we don't have the fire power when 5 players who would be in the forwards are out injured.

I'd be looking at a new forward and then playing Griffin in the pack next season (And possible this year, depending on injures).

Manu may play many games, but what does he actually do in those games? 7 times across the line in 2 years?

There's a bit more to a player's effectiveness than just scoring tries. You'll be telling us we should sign Ryan Shaw next.

Not when said player is a winger, I think he's a good, just not the level we need to push for a GF, but injuries have played a huge part this season
I still think we can finish 5/6, teams having a game in hand could be a blessing or a curse. Us just failing in the CC could work in our favour.

We have to beat Widnes, they are not a good side.

Agree he maybe should score more, but if you cant see how is aggressiveness in defense isn't a massive part of us playing well, then,

Troll alert.

Are we taking about Sika Manu?

I'm no troll, and yes, talking Sika Manu. It's called opinion.
