Exactly why Leeds impress me. That is a hell of a hit with injuries really, in essential positions too. Yet you'll be in top 4 or 5 atleast when the crux of your injured players return in my opinion.

ooh your so gracious with your compliments


ok i'll send you one back
your lot will eventually win a gf in your lifetime


Shame i didnt post this earlier as i would have added that the wire would also have beaten the saints in your life time too


you are still alive and well i hope?

I said 3 or 4 years ago that all Wire needed was a decent coach and they would be contenders - well they have and they are.

Enjoy it youve probabaly got this season and next after that to acheive it (Tony Im only a 4 years coach of one club smith)will be on his bike, this was a comment he made when leaving the rhinos, "3/4 years is log enough at any one club it becomes stale after that", as I said brilliant coach just enjoy th ride it will probably be over soon !!!

That's a remarkable turnaround for Ablett.

Indeed - I only hope the club aren't planning on taking a gamble on his longer term fitness to cover the short term loss of others.

I'd rather he missed another week or two if it reduces the likelihood of the injury recurring.

...and here in lays the dilemma, do you play a 75% fit first choice player or a 100% fit academy lad?

Is a first choice player at 75% still better than a young inexperienced academy player?

Glad I’m not making those kind of decisions.

Or rather, do you play a 75% fit first choice player and risk having him missing for another chunk of the season because he's come back too soon and the injury flares up again, meaning you have to play the Academy kid for a couple of months rather than just a couple of weeks?

It's hardly a huge surprise thought that he might be fit.

The club announced after the Hull game that he would missing for =#FF0040up to three weeks (21 days). The fact that he might play on Saturday will mean he has taken 15 days.

I would guess =#FF0040up to would have meant between 2 weeks and 3 weeks, so 15 days is hardly a massive improvement on that.

Leeds will no doubt play players carrying injuries vs Warrington and that will backfire with Warrington easing to a win over Leeds.

TBF, and its not often I say this, but I think they will be easing to a win no matter the team we put out today. We dont have enough in the forwards IMO. I'd love to be proven wrong but I cant see it.

No props for Friday possibly! www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... _1_3155903 Surely Ambler will be recalled?

I'm not sure either to be honest. If so, an opportunity to bin off a couple of our Jokers in the pack?

meh....I see sicknote is having another op on Thursday. At this rate Peacock will be back before him.

Perhaps its time to borrow a couple of players ourselves.

Kirke to prop

time for our academy forwards to step up to the first team?

Willie Mason's visa has come through if that helps??

Ask tvoc & Keith to fill you in on the merits of a 30+ Antipodean. They love a good experienced Aussie!

We have out Injury problems too, Bailey,Anderson,Gleeson. Ryan Boyle and Holdsworth didn't play last week and Ratchford went off at Half time, lucky for you your squad is much bigger than ours. Should be close on Friday none the less!

I seem to recall a interview with Mac before the Warrington game and him saying that recalling ambler is a option but that he thought he wouldn't have to take it.

So I am assuming there is cap space?

Think quinns coach Powell also intimated a similar thing but stated he had heard nothing from Leeds

Age is no barrier, although motivation (or lack of) and attitude is.

If it's possible then it needs to be done!!

Although I imagine Quins won't be that keen, just think of all the bad habits he'll pick up playing for a lower ranked club!
