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

Moz has deffo earnt a Celebration Year. I hope he awards himself one.

Hopefully he'll be able to make a return and stuff that one or two people have put on here will be proven to be bull.

Be a hell of a shame for Morleys career to end like that, he deserves to go out with a bang.

Sure, but will it overlap another players' testimonial year? Could cause problems.

Could someone please PM me the rumours to do with Morley? News doesnt travel fast here in Wigan.

Just heard myself it's more serious than first thought, from usually reliable source, certainly hope the're wrong this time!

What's supposedly up with him? If somebody wants to send me a PM with details I'd be grateful.

Can't put any pressure on his little toe, just can't push off.

Good answer!

One head injury too many was what I heard

Just going to have to wait and see an hope its total poop

I think the 'rumour' is that he's struggling head wise. One of these whereby the amount of bumps that you've taken over the years catch up with you and you get advised by quacks to knock it on the head (bum bum).

Hopefully this is just as rumours do, escalating. I'm sure he has got currently a problem with his head, it may keep him sidelined for a week or two but lets hope it's all been blown out of proportion.

I'm sure the club will be doing the right things, player welfare and all that. They'll be taking the right steps, getting him looked at etc.

I agree. We managed to get the points last week against Cas without both Briers and Morley. If we can get past Huddersfield tomorrow then there is also no need to take any risks next week at Quins. Save both players with a view to hopefully getting them on the field for the Cup game versus Wigan and then the business end of the season.

Health and fitness comes first.

Maybe somebody can quiz Andy Gatcliffe on BBC Radio Manchester tonight about these rumours.

Apologies if it's bee posted somewhere else, but what time is Andy on tonight?
