Regardless of arriving late, the first 20 odd minutes was an embarrassing spectacle. How much you can blame for the M62 coach issue is unknown, esp as we have form this season for starting games very poorly. But one thing's for sure, the bus didn't miss tackles and make Latus drop the ball etc. We barely put a finger on any Saints player and just sat off them and Saints picked us off. Sadly our comeback was too early this week. By the end we certainly looked the more tired side once Saints got some field position. Close yet so far. Top effort all things considering.
Paea/Murrell had a great impact when they came on. Clinton was vee poor.

Langtree Park, looks/feels very much unfinished.

That's exactly the impression I've had whenever it's been on TV.

Is there any news on the injuries picked up in this game because it sounded a lot of players where in the wars.

Injuries not really been mentioned anywhere yet no.

Galea is out for a month with a hamstring injury

Blake Green took a knock (ribs?) he didn't train yesterday

Dave Hodgson could be back on Sunday.

Balls.

Young Mr Laithwaite straight in for Galea, Hodgy back on the wing to free up Hally to play 6 if Blake doesn't come through?

Is that month long hamstring injury the same month that Blake was out for though?
If so it won't actually be a month.

Lets hope not, we are starting to look very thin in the 2nd row.

I'm hoping Sandercock gives one of the reserve graders a chance but its looking more likely Laithwaite will get the nod (according to today's HDM).

Aaron Ollett would be my pick. He has been very consistent this season; his write up on Rovers website sums him up IMO: "Although he is not the biggest back-rower, Aaron always plays well above his weight, combining an insatiable appetite for work with a terrier-like determination to succeed"

Mind you, I fully expect CS to switch Horne to the 2nd row, Hally to centre seeing that Dave Hodgson could be back.

Some players heal quicker than others. Stan was notorious for healing in super quick time, Galea's older and will therefore likely take longer.

No I get that.
My point is that they overestimated Green let's hope they have done the same with Galea.

If Paul T- HKR had said that he'd be out for six weeks.

It's true, I do heal quickly. In fact, I'm your man for all types of footwear repairs in double quick time.

Get out.

I deserved that (and worse).
