What you mean no Moz or Briers against Hudds!

any news on Rhys's hand? and will he be able to play (if we are moving players about)?

You seemed to do alright last time out without them.

Huh?

They lost.

Last game was against Castleford = win. I think this is what he means as Briers and Moz both missed this game.

Last Friday? No we didn't.

We won 8 games out of 10 last year without him, including Hudds away. We should still have enough to beat them.

Huh?

They won.

Despite our current rollercoaster ride to(hopefully) Wembley and Old Trafford the news that Morley and Briers are out for a couple of weeks seems to be something that with our "mature" squad is bound to happen more and more.
I'm sure we can go for a couple of seasons but by then our lynch pins of Briers/Morley/Hodgson will be ending their careers along with several others.
This along with Kings decision to go home worries me that in a very short time we could be sliding back to mid table mediocrity.
I do hope Tonys multiple plans(A B C D) are well on the road to completion as we need to start now and not wait until the cracks really start to show up.

I think we will cope without them tbh. Still confident about friday.

If Cooper kops a ban I wonder if Westwood will be given a Gallenesque role in the front row for a one off game. I know over the last few years that a few on here have predicted a role in the front row for him and this is the sort of game to do it in maybe. King may get another go in the second row.
I reckon if Morley and Cooper are back for the Quins game then maybe Westwood may get a rest for that one.

Cooper didn't get a ban.

I think Danny Brough is more important to the Giants than Briers is to Wire - and that's probably the first time I've ever said someone else is more important to a team than Briers is for us...

If Broughy misses out on Friday I expect nothing less than a Wire win as although their pack might have dominated us twice already this year, it was Danny who killed us with his kicking game from behind it. Broughy plays and I think without our own specialist field kicker, we'll struggle.

Anyone heard anything about the injury to Moz ? Cos I'm hearing it could be a career ending injury ! I do hope it's total BS !

Hang on Padders you sound like Saddenned now with his assessment of James Roby having the worse facial injury in modern day history,only for Roby to trot out the following week and play 80 minutes..

Tony smith says Moz and Lee will both be out for a couple of weeks then should be ok.

I guess we will find out in the next two weeks won't we !
I was also only asking if anyone else had heard anything similar to what I had !

Thought you meant against us.

I have.

Weird because I thought it was just a head injury but he has had a few

It's funny how rugby league fans breathe a sigh of relief when a player's injury is 'just a head injury'.

I heard this as well, but assumed it to be the usual bollows rumour you get in RL. I'm sure Moz will be fine and dandy.

Well it was just a head injury as he walked off the pitch it didn't seem to be too bad clearly with this rumour doing the rounds maybe its one too many knocks.

When did I say that?

I said it looked awful and it did and a month later it still doesn't look pretty. His cheek and across the top of his eyebrows looked like they had been crimped like the edge of an apple pie.

Scroll to the bottom of this news page and you'll see what he looks like now.

So retiring after Old Trafford rather than now you reckon?

Retiring after his celebration year.

I like all other Wire fans want to hear concrete new on Mozzas injury.
Hoping that all is okay
