Think I read somewhere he was probably off to Salford.

Torn his ACL

Ouch. That's 2 of our new signings out for the majority of 2022, the 'Powell Curse' has followed him over the Pennines.

Who has?

Greg inglis

Greg Minikin

Perhaps we could do with converting part of the HJ to a hospital wing. We seem to be perennial recipients of injured players who reduce the squad depth even before the new season starts.

So unlucky with recruitment for next season. Wishing him a speedy and full recovery. Shame for him as even if he gets fit he won't have had the time to gel with teammates on the field after a full pre season. Same goes for Harrison.

At this rate Powell will start moaning about injuries before he even gets here.

Holmes is now out with a neck injury! Not going well for our new signings

Not looking great.

All part of the plan.

after getting pumped by Saints 1st game of the season we'll have:

"I'm proud of the lads. We're doing it tough at the minute with us injuries and I cant fault their commitment but the injuries aren't helping the cause. I'm not happy with some of those decisions there either. I've never seen decisions like that before in my life, I've no idea what that was about but it needs looking at. We're struggling with injuries so the lads have to compete on the back foot from the start as it it is then they have to compete against against decisions like that an all.

We have loads of injuries, the ref made loads of mistakes and it's not our fault. It's not my fault either, certainly not. It never is. There's loads of stuff going on in the game at the minute that means it's not my fault. I'm proud of the lads though.

...

It's not my fault.

Thanks Jenna."

Looking at some of the signings of recent years ,do the Wire offer a fringe benefit of top level medical facilities & top of the range sick pay scheme ?
Asking for a friend.

Bit harsh, in the past we have signed players with injury issues, the current crop are injuries post signing. Short of employing a psychic I’m not sure what the club could do.

Agree .....We do seem to be getting our excuses sorted rather early ......

Holmes has ruptured his spine (slipped disc). It isn't looking good for him.

He's not even started with us yet and the injury curse is battering us.

Powell out.

I think you’ll find that should be “Powell OUT!”

Nah its a mild notion for the time being, I haven't reached defcon 2 level of dissatisfaction yet.

You know what, it would not surprise me if it goes 1 of two ways, its either a massive success, or he gets the furner treatment and doesn't see the year out

If he improves on Price's first season, he'll be a success cos we will have won a trophy. Although winning the Cup and finishing 10th in the league as Smith did in his first year would probably see him sacked, wouldn't it?

At the rate our new signings are dropping its likely that many of the youngsters could be getting regular games.

Mata'autia will be a nervous wreck waiting for his injury to be allocated to him. If I was Powell i'd rest him for the remainder of the season and make him a bubble wrap suit to wear until our pre season starts. Otherwise we just start next season a significantly weaker side than this season!

Ah, smiths first season was 2010.

Can't blame most of 2009 on him, thats lowes pre season

I’m continuing the days till Sally tells us how we should have stuck with TS.
His case does get stronger every season since.
