Does anyone know how the injuries are this morning? Briers was limping @ the end, Micky Monaghan had concussion aparently & Bridge went off during the game - don't know what for.

The strategic inclusion of the "apparently" in that sentence sets alarm bells ringing.
Tony chooses his words very carefully and that implies that he didn't know that Bridge was feeling unwell. Maybe if he had have known then Mitchel could have started in the SR with Blythe back at right centre.

In the Daily Mirror is states that the Giants rested 6 key players on Sunday in anticipation of our game on Friday night.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. The last time we did it, we sent a team of kids to Saints and lost to a dodgy try. The week after we played as near to full strength as poss and lost to you at Wembley. It's a mark of the respect our coach has for your team though to do what he has. We are playing arguably the best team in the comp (sorry Wigan). Also I am not reading too much into your result yesterday. Everybody loses now and again and Friday will be a cracker. Good Luck and may the best team win on the night.

It is on the Guardian site that Ben W will return

and Monas M and Chris Bridge are excepted to recover

. Ben H has a calf injury and is 'working with the medical staff '



No news on lee Briers

Chris (Warrigton Guardians Sports Reporter) has just tweeter from today's press conference:

"Bit frantic here (deadlines) but some injury news in that Atkins and Anderson are hoping to be fit for Friday. Harrison and Westwood return."

And that Bridge and Monas are expected to be fit. Great news.

Lee Briers out though. Watch this space

Rumour or fact?!

Despite Bridge and Monas going off Briersy shouldn't have played in the 2nd half imo.
Limped on after the break, limped throughout the rest of the game and could hardly walk at the end. Pointless leaving him on as a passenger and then him missing the next game/games as a result.

how do u know he wouldnt have missed the next match anyway?
