Very good Nicky Kiss

Big fan of Bullock, can’t wait til he’s back. Was good last season when we were awful and he looked very effective this season.

I can imagine that JB will learn a great deal from Mr Vaughan and be a much better forward for it

Is he due back next week?

Wakefield

Be really good for us when he's back, he was playing really well for us.
Him and Vaughan starting with Philbin and Kasiano off the bench until Dudson is back looks good.
I think Harrison will be back about the same time as Bullock so that will be a big boost as well, will allow Kas and Vaughan to cut back on they're minutes each game.

Just read on Twitter that DP has said that Bullock may be back on Thursday. If so, that would be ideal and Kasiano can return to being the good impact player that he is.

What is Bullock's injury? thumb? You would think he would be able to play with it strapped up. But i am no doctor..

Indeed, it's not like he needs it for catching or holding a ball, or tackling 17 stone men running just over Olympic sprinter speed is it.

Many players in the past have continued playing with broken digits..

Doesn't mean he should though to be fair.

Not if he broke it.

And many players in the past have not continued to play with broken digits.

Too right.
Seen many fingers strapped up together and players carry on.
Never mind a ball, try just holding a pen without using your thumb!

Not broken thumbs though.

I meant to quote wirecation no FCP whose post was tongue in cheek. Thanks for pointing my error out.

Nothing pleases me more than to be able to point out the bleeding obvious!

just on this, the only person i can openly remember playing wth a known broken thumb was shaun edwards in the 1999 challenge cup final against leeds.

and i think we can all recall how that ended up, can't we

Yes, with us signing Leroy Rivett and thinking we were onto something.

i had a good chat with him at the 2002 season open evening about him getting that rhino shaved into his head, he gave me his mates business card

has anyone on here ever broken a thumb? absolute agony. Your whole hand is effectively useless.. you cant grab or hold anything... may as well be a broken wrist.

a broken index finger, for example, can be strapped up and taped to the middle finger.. you can catch balls and make tackles like that.. it will still hurt mind.

i couldn't wipe my for around 4 weeks when i broke my thumb, let alone play rugby league.

did you get a rhino horn?

it was a very silly cast, yes.

Did you break both thumbs?
