12 of their season notified 25 man squad are out, so yes I am sure. They have no bigger squad than Leeds or anyone else, they just have had to use more players.

Injuries smingeries.

How good were leeds when hall, briscoe, ablett, delaney, moon et al played? They were still crap.

Obviously mcguire is a big miss BUT, one of leeds main problems is soft defence and being dominated around the ruck. Would Mcguire make a huge difference to that? We might drop less ball because we are more organised but fundementally the same problems dogging us all season will persist.

They have 31 first team players listed plus Tickle. Can you list the 12 players that you allege were out last week?

They asked Peacock on the Red Button after today's cup match why Leeds are struggling......he pretty much said it's all down to McGuire being injured. Even I can't buy that.

I don't allege, I talk facts. Just check them yourself and you will see.

I repeat, the players listed have all played, hence used 31 players. Not that they have a bigger squad.

If only plucky little Leeds could have what their mighty neighbours at Castleford have.

Grateful supporters??? No we'll never have that.

So why have you not listed the 12?

I repeat Cas. list 31 + Tickle

I just told you that 12 of their first named 25 squad were not playing yesterday. You only have to look at your squad list to see, I don't need to name them.

Yes, and 31 players plus Tickle have played for Cas this season.

It was actually ten, but regardless they still had it bad.

26 doesn't include Luke Briscoe or Cameron Smith so that's now 28 would you not agree if you are looking like for like?

You said Cas. have more players missing than Leeds. The implication being that those missing are out injured. You are now saying 12 were not playing yesterday which is not the same. Have you a problem naming their injured players?

31 players are listed on their web site as firstvteam squad members plus new signing Tickle. Makes 32.

Correct and yes we should compare like with like.

Did you go to Huddersfield for the cup game?

Yes sadly

I was with a Cas director at yesterday's match, he said they had 12 missing. Unless you can prove me otherwise, that is fact. I don't need to name who they are.

What website are you looking at? On the Cas website they still have Clare, Tansey, Channing, Finn, and Moore listed, you do realise that?

Are we likely to have anyone back from injury this week?

18 - Hampshire
2 - Monaghan
3 - Webster
19 - Crooks
5 - Solomona
10 - Millington
15 - McShane
32 - Patrick
9 - Milner
14 - Jewitt
17 - Moors
12 - McMeeken
13 - Massey

25 - Hitchcox
16 - Cook
22 - Springer
33 - Tickle

Missing from the 25

1 - Dorn
4 - Shenton
6 - Roberts
7 - Gale
8 - Lynch
11 - Holmes
20 - Mariano
21 - Boyle
23 - Maher
24 - Minkin

That's 10......and Boyle made the 19 man squad but not picked and Maher was dropped out of the previous weeks 19, not injured.

I was with a Cas director at yesterday's match, he said 1 player who played is a lizard in a human suit. Unless you can prove to me otherwise, that is fact. I dont need to name who they are.

Thank you for some one listing. Actually Maher is injured, and as Flynn couldn't play, then he was bang on correct with 12 missing. Never doubted it.

erm, thats still only 11 (and one of those dropped not missing)

Maher injured? Of course you'd claim that.

As for Flynn, he only joined this week and can't be claimed as part of their 25 man named squad



Yet you do.

Luke dorn
ASH ROBSON
Michael Shenton
Ben Roberts
Luke Gale
Andy Lynch
Oliver Holmes
Frankie Mariano
Ryan Boyle
Greg Minikin
Will Maher
Paddy flynn (cup tied)

With Webster struggling massively and Jy Hitchcox on for 5 minutes as his hand is knackered. Massey a doubt too anfter dislocating his knee.

I suggest you reread the posts, before you dig another of those big holes. I "claimed", and rightly, that Cas have more players missing than us. I said a Cas director claimed they had 12 missing from their 25 man squad. I see the Cas fan above names 12.

Are Ash Robson and Paddy Flynn in the first 25 shirt numbers?

Robson scored on debut last year and would have had a stint at FB this year with the injuries allowing Hampshire to go 6. Sadly he broke his leg in our last preseason game. Just 1 less option for us.
