Looks like Vic Mauro is on his way as well, going off Facebook and the official site.

Two expensive mistakes. However under previous management both of these players would have been allowed to see out their contracts, so whilst it's unfortunate it is pleasing to see that any players found under performing will be shipped out.

With Foran and Mauro leaving early does anyone know how many overseas places we will have for 2014? I know Sa'u will take 1 spot but I understand that Meli doesn't count. Also does anyone know if Chase and Puletua would be exempt IF we sign them because both have played over here 5 years now?

Could this mean possibly another 4 decent quality overseas players joining us?

Gonna be short of forwards against Hudds.
Mauro gone, Jewitt, Emmett, Griffin suspended and James injured.
McPherson not certain.

Gleeson and Broughton could be out 4-6 weeks.

Good luck to Vic Mauro in his future endeavours. Quite clearly he wasn't good enough and/or fit enough to play in SL.

And we've let Gledhill go

Are James and Broughton definitely injured?

I think Tyson is injured as well so leaves us with only two fit props Walne and Neal. We could be in for a long day on the 4th August.

If Broughton is out for 6 or so weeks, he may have already played his last match for the club.

Club site says they are expecting Tyson to play U-20 against Leigh tomorrow. Hope he doesn't get injured. Or have a fight.

not looking good for you lot against us!

expect us to win by a big margin

look after broughton for us please

Cricket score and I'm worried it will be more than the Aussies managed in their first innings last week!

Looks like we'll be taking a hiding in this one. Hopefully they'll rest a few with some big games coming up.

In relation to Mauro - he shown a few decent things and I honestly believe if he'd had a good pre-season he would have gone OK. Maybe not worth a quota spot but had the potential to be a solid player. You just can't justify the condition he and Foran came over in though. Seem to treat it as a holiday and if you start off that unfit then there's no way back unfortunately.

Is Jordan Walne on loan at Worky still? Are McPherson/James deffo out?

Trust me he wouldn't. I understand he has a physical disability that won't allow him to do that. No amount of will power or training could overcome his condition.

According to the MEN James, along with Gleeson and Broughton are definitely out.
McPherson has a chance of playing.

There's quotes from Noble in there so they didn't just get it off here.

I never really like criticising players too much, but Mauro wasn't one of our better overseas imports to say the least - not the calibre of player we want to get where we want to be. Maybe he could've done a job with a proper preseason, and it has left us a bit short in the forwards given injuries and suspensions - but he's gone now, onwards and upwards

Yeah he scored a couple vs Swinton at the weekend, although he is more a 2nd row than prop.

Keith Mason on loan is the only answer ! That'll liven things up and give you another 'biff' to analyse

Could we not bring in a couple of fringe props that aren't currently figuring for other clubs, for a couple of weeks?

Maybe Nobby could ask Tony Smith if he wouldn't mind releasing Mozza early from his contract? It would be worth a phone call just to wind him up.

I think the only answer will be to take the ale train to Huddersfield and be well anaesthetised by KO time

Lets stick in as many of the kids as we can, stuff bringing anyone in this is the perfect time for it before we get the new guys in next year. Liked the look of Tyson in the Cup and when Ive watched the U20's. Also why not give Davidson a go and bring back Jordan Walne. I'd also bring Ford back as cover for the outside backs. Don't mind losing if the young lads are getting game time.

Reminds of 2010..? When we had Sneyd, Toby Adamson, Gareth Owen , Adam Neal thrown in.

Team for Huddersfield? Probable
Lee Gaskell
Jon Ford/Niall Evalds
Ashley Gibson
Ryan McGoldrick
Danny Williams
Theo Fages
Marc Sneyd
Adam Walne
Wayne Godwin
Shannon McPherson
Ashurst if fit/ Chris Nero?
Andrew Dixon
Steven Wild

Adam Neal
Alex Davidson
Gareth Owen
George Tyson

Chris Hankinson

I think we could all make ourselves rich if we put our mortgages on Huddersfield to win.

Chris Nero announced his retirement from the game due to a neck injury a few weeks back, didn't he?
