are there still players unable to travel on saturday.if so why so ?

Firstly i think you need to change the thread name to " Who is Willing to Play in Toulouse "

Perhaps then we might take players who are commited to turning this season around already and get some silverware.

I think the issue is mainly with Mikali and his Visa restrictions, There could well be others but i am not sure, This needs to be looked at by the RFL becuase it restricts who can play. Not just for us but others as well,

I wonder how sheffield fare as they have a few players who might have visa restrictions.

Im guessing Aizue is now available if he has sorted his passport out. When do they travel? That may have some baring on who can go as if they go on Friday not everyone can get time off at such short notice.

Its hardly short notice is it, They have known since we played featherstone. I am sure that most of the players who do also work would have a understanding with the players about commitments to the clubs, I am sure Roger Harvey will allow Ben Black away from serving tea and coffee for the day.



If they have got Tamghart then we will need Mikali firing on all four, We dont half miss Siad, One man army he was. Shame he has to be French. ( french algerian yes i know ).

Said was awfull last year.

better than half the tripe we got this year

I can!!! More likely to be in the Pubs/Bars to be honest though

Don't think Makali will feature on Saturday, apparently it can take between 6 and 8 weeks to get a Visa for him to go to France.

What if you go pick up the visa yourself surely that would cut the time down?? Like going to pick passport up on the day..

Not sure about that, its all red tape that gets in the way, I cant see why its any different for someone from PNG than it is for someone who is an Aussie,

It was a rehtorical (sp) hint. Am sure everything will be fine

Just reading the injury report, Ben Black is out, Dylan Nash is doubtfull due to injury when last in Toulouse, Mikali Clearly not playing, Ostick injured but hopeing to be back same with barlow & Penky.

Patterson struggleing with a injury, If this is the case then why was he played in the under 23's.

Hope we can get a decent enough squad together and get them beaten, for the love of god please let us get through this one with a win.

Why won't Makali be playing????

Wasn't one of the purposes of having a reserve team so that those that were injured could get game fitness on return from injury in the 23's instead of throwing them back sraight into first team scenario?

No, I thought i was to get them back to game fitness, If its fitness levels due to injury then fair enough i have not got a issue with that but playing a injured player in the 23s isn't going to help him recover is it.

Do you think the coaching staff and medical staff are that stupid that they would play an injured player in the under 23's

Miles Greenwood? Just because a player says he is fit dosnt always mean he is.Which was the case with Miles. Claerly shouldnt have played and look where he is at now.

Thats a FIRST team issue not a player playing in the under 23's for the sake of it.

Miles played against medical advice.

I accept certain players will or have to occasionally play FIRST team not 100% but this was a comment about the 23's.

fax setting off thursday afternoon says in courier with larder saying so much down time can be hard. hope this is not case of getting excuses in early.

Well Patterson was injured before he played in the under 23s last week and is still not ready for toulouse so either took more knocks at the 23s game or wasn't ready to play, Clearly isn't ready to play again yet.

Do you know he is not ready or you submising from the injury report that actually states he still might make the game??

Do you think Patts would have played in the 23's if he had not been deemed fit enough?

Do you not think it would be better to give Patts a go in the 23's to give him game time and test the ankle in a 23's game to make sure he is ok before going back to the first team?

Or would you want him straight into the first team where if the unlikely happened and he broke down we lose a player for the game?

URBANCARROT

I would prefer him straight into the first team front row as prop, how does that grab ya ?.

Fits in well with the rest of the rubbish you been writing.

If you say so boss. Opinions and all that.

how many Fax fans are travelling over ?

Well i am
