Bugger

I feel I just been run over!!

Bugger. Though I am slightly confused as to why he played against Fev and 'Haven when the injury was collected against Widnes, unless he's been having any injections?

Presume Hartley is still injured so we've got to hope McCarthy is available this weekend, I suppose.

Ouch

Is it a big blow? Not seen much of you this year to know. Has he been your main man in attack?

Main pivots always are

Wouldn't say he's been the main man as such in that Ridyard has more than chipped in with his share of the work (particularly when compared to last season's Watsonathon), but I think any side would miss a player of his quality.

So whats the situation with Hartley? Is he injured? If so what injury and when is he back?

well i have to say i was some what concerned about our chances of victory against fax on sunday, now i am definitely concerned, the worse news that we could of recieved, get well soon robbie.

Hartley is injured and not training

Get well soon Robbie.

Duffy to 7
And give Anthony Nicholson a run at 9 with Jock

As ive put elsewhere Nicholson isn't ready as yet, Durbin at half with Jock and duffs sharing acting half

Who will halfbacks be? I'd go Ridyard and Duffy. Durbin as replacement hooker
Whats Nicholson like? Who would you compare him to?

I'll ignore the saracasm and respectfully disagree with you on that one Fred.

Nicholson is a hooker who is playing in the reserves. Only 19 but he's very good and very loud on the pitch. Think he has earned a shot at 1st team and from what I've seen of him I dont think confidence will be an issue!!

as per usual in his career.

Is he a Diskin/Alker kind of hooker or more like Higham and Roby?

Paul and Ridyard are top equal on tries created/scored so far this season.

Bit of both but very young he's only just got to be top hooker in reserves after Griff started the season well dont think Basil will take a punt at him as yet rightly so IMO

Bad news but I think Basil will start with Durbin scrum half and with Duffs on the bench and Jock hooking we will still be competative.

Come back soon Robbie.

I hope he's better soon Robbie

I'd put Dubin at scrum half as he ain't too bad as a half back & hopefully we'll ride the storm

As for Hartley he's more injury prone than 95 year old blind man with a prosthetic leg & brittle bones

He's a useless player if he gets injured all the time we took a gamble on signing him knowing that he is prone to injury's & it doesn't seem to be paying off

I want our Robbie "The Legend" Paul back

Like I said, sharing the workload

i think we'll be fine tbh, he hasn't played wel for the last few weeks anyway. maybe this is what we need . we can see how good we are without robbie. i still think he'll have a lot of input even if he isnt on the pitch.

we'll see what happens sunday

Bad news.

If the time scale is right he might also miss one or two of the key away games in July - get back soon Robbie. Now is the time for someone else to stand up and be counted.
