Anyone got any updates on our (total club) injuries ?

I think we will have to bring in a few loan players this week. Injuries and suspensions have now reached an unprecedented level in all my time following the club. I can't ever recall us having our first choice half backs, centre's, hooker and several back rowers all out at the same time. Tough few weeks ahead I think.

I had to wonder. I'm new to this egg chasing and I know it's a more brutal game than football but the amount of injuries at Salford seems to border on ridiculous

Locke will have to come in at full back and Evalds will need to move to 6 (depending on Dobson). Walton will have to come in at centre, BJB also picked up a nasty looking injury and Paterson will definitely be suspended. So we'll have:
Sa'u
Dobson
Paterson
Chase
Lee
Hauraki
A Walne
J walne
J Griffin
Ben Jones-Bishop (I think)
Menzies

All unavailable in some way. We're going to struggle in the next few weeks. I'm not convinced by Jon Ford from what I've seen, but we might need him to step up along with Gee and Lannon.

When did BJB get injured?

Add Walton to that list. (Hamstring)

On the very last set. He could hardly stand up to play the ball then hobbled off towards the side line. I don't know how bad it was, but going off out luck so far this season then I'm banking on him being out for a bit!

Let's be positive were 4th in the league with A game in hand. Time to try the young lads, two of our best players are theo and Niall and when the likes of ford, Gee and Lannon get their chance I'm sure they won't let anyone down. Who knows in a couple of weeks time we might be screaming for them to be played more often..

Yes. On the last set when Salford were attacking the line, he was standing on the half way line where I was sitting unable to move. I'm guessing there were no fit players available to replace him. Looks a bad injury.

does anyone know if Paterson will be banned as he was put on report? Hauraki is back but we are going into Sundays game with the squad down to the bare bones...

Hauraki is still suspended. And Paterson will get a ban 100%. I know were 4th but we really are down to the bare bones!

Whose idea was it to de register Puletua?

i don't know but maybe they need to get him in! Wasn't Hansen hobbling as well

This where if he stays fit Locke starts making a name for himself at Salford.

Evalds is simply too good to not be playing fullback, Locke should be playing @ 6.

I can't see us going into the game on Sunday without a loan player or two being brought in.

Charged.
Ban between 3 and 5 games
Seems excessive but he was always going to be done for it.

Darrell Griffin also charged with grade B high tackle which is worth 1 or 2 matches.

G Griffin, D Griffin, J Walne, A Walne, Sau, Chase, Hauraki, Walton, Patterson, Dobson, BJB, Lee. Quite a lot of fire power to be lost. Especially when Locke isn't fully fit neither.

What reason do you have, to come to that conclusion as "seeming excessive" Should have walked for that one in the first 30 secs.

Jesus, we need to get some bodies in and fast. Vic Mauro anyone?

I just hope this crisis doesn't lead to us having to field lots of young kids that simply aren't physically or mentally ready. It's OK putting in one or two in a strong team but too many and it could potentially be confidence shattering and completely ruin a young players development.

I hope the RFL charge Michael Platt for his high shot on Taylor and the player who put Carl Forster on his head. No doubt the RFL will show their lack of impartiality once again and they will get away scott free and charge the Salford lads. I honestly feel like driving to Red Hall and kidnapping someone from the RFL until our players are allowed to play! It's becoming a f**k!ng joke it's like our season is ruined already.

If you are thinking about big Nigel you'll need to hire a truck with a tail lift.

How about Jodie Broughton on loan for starters?

I think priority loan players would be a couple of centre's and a back row forward. I think we could move Evalds to 6 and bring in Locke at fullback.

Yes perhaps we should just recall all the players we are still paying off. At this rate Harris, Gleeson and Watson will be pulling a shirt over their heads again.
