Clough is fit just not been picked at the moment so i've been told.

Well considering how much we are struggling for props that’s a difficult one to believe. English and walne missing from Fridays squad. Hewitt over Clough seems an odd one.

woolford says he has been struggling with reoccurring calf injuries but should be back in 2/3 weeks

we need him badly. been a big miss so doubt he hasnt just not been picked.

I was at a sponsors meeting last Friday and was told that Clough would be back in around 4 weeks

3 weeks is the aim, was hamstring first then calf and working with Ollie Waite over at Blackburn too, taken lot longer than expected, reminds me off when he was at bulls, was working with an external physio who said he wasn’t fit

cant knock him too much as he hadnt missed a game for two seasons with us previous to this

murphy added to the list, shame

medial knee.

might have to move taai back to second row from prop now.

or bring roche in

Thought Roche got injured in his last game.

English in at prop and move Bruno back to LF.

I'd leave Taai at prop.

Could recall Smith to play loose also.

wouldnt mind seeing smith given another chance, contract to play for and our style would suit him now

update

cudjoe
clough
ferguson
english
walne
murphy
wardle brothers

getting bad again

Need to recall smith back I think.

only 18 available players

roberts maybe added to the list, apparently in the ambulance after the game

Programme said 3 players due back for round 8, sorry can’t remember which other two of the three it was but it did include clough-whether they will be risked on the horrible 3G pitch who knows. Leroy round 10
Anyone know the nature of roberts’ injury?

yeh not sure many will be risked on the london pitch such as cudjoe and ferguson...maybe clough too being a calf injury

roberts looked in pain groin/hip

Found the list- expected returns:

Round 8 (next week) Clough, Ferguson, OB , Roche
Round 10 cudjoe, Murphy , Grix ,
Adam Walne Round 22

Then there’s Holmes and young wardle

Would imagine therefore they will give English time off next week as his knee isn’t right really and they won’t want him to risk it on that pitch.

WOOLFORD NAMES 18-MAN SQUAD FOR HULL KR
Simon Woolford has named his initial squad for the visit of Hull KR this Friday

Huddersfield Giants coach Simon Woolford is down to the bare bones ahead of Fridays Betfred Super League clash with Hull Kingston Rovers. The coach is missing the following due to injury with their anticipated return dates in brackets Leroy Cudjoe (R10), Paul Clough (R9), Dale Ferguson (R9), Aaron Murphy (R10), Adam O Brien (R9), Scott Grix (R10), Colton Roche (R9), Adam Walne (R22) and Jake Wardle (Ricon_cool.gif and names just 18 ahead of the clash with the final spot to be determined if necessary after the captains run on Thursday.

According to that only Jake Wardle back for London.

jake wardle, come on... no one knows when he will play.

out of those id say we may see obrien and roche. no one else.

roche in for roberts.

Marty shouldn’t really have played Friday- but we were desperate for props- so If Roche cones in its likely to be for a prop.

Jake was Brian blacker roadshow guest in legends and said he'd be back next week or the week after

woolford says obrien and roche back for london game.

roberts out with abductor injury couple of weeks

obrien and roche off the list

think we have 8/9 out now from the squad

none to report from yesterdays match dont think

might actually see 1 or 2 return next week!

I'm hearing that Leroy is still miles off playing. I'm not sure how true that is but I had a feeling that might be the case. If he is due back soon, you'd think London at home would be the perfect match to come back to.

Also have a feeling Ferguson might not play again this season. There was rumours before the season that the physios recommended that he retire due to injury.
