I hear langi brown crooks all out for the season and maybe Patterson just what we needed coming upto million pound game looks like the lads who feallen out with jukes best kiss and make up so we have a squad

Heard it where ?

Brown is definitely out for the year, broken foot.

Awaiting full extent of Langi and Paterson injuries but not looking good.

Adam Higson was immediately suspended by Kieran Cunningham for missing full training, the day before a key game and rightly so.

That one therefore is nowt do with Neil Jukes.

Well if they are all injured, that leaves Fleming as the only centre without even anyone you'd think could slot in from another position.

KC will have to make sure some of the out of favour players are willing to come back and put a shift in, because at the moment, it seems we are missing Hampshire, Higson, Hopkins for internal disciplinary reasons, as well as missing Hock, Acton, Crooks, Paterson, Langi, Higham(?), Brown, Mortimer. Given we also sent Ridyard out and not sure why Vea and Dawson were missing last week, that's a stronger team than what we will field in the mpg!

Any idea how long he was suspended for? We desperately need him and Hampshire! What a shambles.

Sorry I do not, but I believe Higson is still suspended on Keiran Cunningham orders of today , but is due back. Hampshire is back in the fold.

Simple answer , because you can only field 17 players.

Both are in contention for selection.

We are really struggling but must hope London play weakened side or can't be d!

Apparently Langi was stretchered off as a precautionary measure,he is looking to back for the MPG.

The London game doesn't really matter, it's the MPG that counts and we are deffo in than, depends on the Cats v Widnes result for who and where we play.

Well that is good news then Charlie. It didn't look precautionary when he left LSV on crutches.

NJ said at the beginning of the qualifiers that we would need all of the squad and they all had the ability to do a job. Injury list is alarming but time for Rocky et al to step and win the game on Friday.

The London game does matter. If we win we might be at home in the MPG. Lose and we are definitely away either in the South of France or on a plastic pitch!

Might be better off away, in front of someone else's nervous fans!

Not in France or on the terrible plastic pitch at Widnes.

We've won in France once and were 90 seconds from winning our league game there. They beat us fairly comfortably at LSV. Widnes have beat us comfortably both home and away.

Not seen anything in these 8s to suggest that home "advantage" would lead to anything other than a performance gripped with anxiety, like the Hull KR game.

thought feallen was an actor on Coronation Street?

Going to have to be squeaky clean on Friday. Can't afford any charges from the bent RFL to give the French more of a advantage if we do play them

Too right! Similar to a clueless boss in a commercial environment, "Go home and think about what you did wrong". Suited to 80/90's industry may be, but a modern-day Super League sporting environment?

Let's reframe it to get some talking points. What is the new Head of Rugby and Coaching team communicating to the players, that give them the response they are getting? Hampshire reportedly telling Jukes how to coach, Higson apparently missing training, Ridyard coming to training eating a 12" or whatever he supposedly did "wrong", Hopkins? etc, x 7.

It's actually quite laughable.

Personally, I'd rather have 5000 hostile Leythers providing an 'extra man' at home against Catalans, than about 7,000 hostile Frenchmen doing it to our lads! Whether in Perpignan or Leigh, the away team is going to feel somewhat under the cosh from the crowd.

I'm sure we will be all out for a win on Friday. here's hoping that London are no longer motivated!

Looking on the bright (er) side, we could/should have Higham, Vea, Dawson, Hampshire and Hopkins available for Friday. (I'd assumed Vea and Hopkins were just being rested)

Higson officially warned about his poor time keeping, then went out on the lash Friday, bunked off training the day before Widnes.

Hampshire losing the plot and descending in to a foul mouthed tirade at his coach and telling him, (understatement) he is not playing where he was selected to play for Leigh, following a detailed analysis of where Jukes felt his best position was for us, deeming himself unavailable for Leigh team selection.

Well paid Super League sportsmen indeed.

So what would you do when faced with the above, given where we now find ourselves ? I am intrigued.

If I was warned about my timekeeping, entered in to a full foul mouthed tirade against my boss, refusing to do what I was paid to do, and bunked off full days work what do you think would have happened to me in my environment ?

So come on, tell me how you would deal with it ??

Wasn't Hampshire in the 19 for Halifax? Did the problem occur after that?

It is all resolved and happened sometime ago after the Widnes away game, I was replying to ' Centurino' statement criticising how it was been dealt with, without offering any alternative.

Over to him, to tell us how Daryl Powell and Shaun Wane deal with such matters ( Other than showing the door !)

Thanks for that. Presumably he is available for London? Glad someone is!
