If my memory is correct did he also get injured in training shortly after arriving with us ? I can't keep up with all the injuries but we do seem to pick up as many in training as we do on match days.

A bit of a disarster darling.
We do seem to get injuries rather frequently or unfortunately, I hope the system is well and truly overhauled. Lino anyone?

Relying on injury prone players has never worked well for us in the past so I'm surprised people didn’t see this coming.

We saw you coming with your doom

I hope if Lino does come back in it’s not playing how he was and playing more as the player we need.

I think Lino got injured in training too. He must have been out for at least a month now.

We can always rely on you to add blame to the unlucky

Unfortunately it seems Lino has never been the leader we'd hoped for ., more like an headless chicken . ......having Gale on the field these last couple of weeks has just highlighted that ! Don't blame Lino ..he is what he is , the recruitment has been to blame .

Not really I blame the people who sign them.

I don’t blame Lino as like you say he is more a running off the cuff player. It certainly highlights we need an organiser at 7. He doesn’t really need to lead though, he needs to create space and get players around him moving. I just think he lacks the vision to organise plays. I won’t fault Lino for the effort he’s shown but it’s smarts we need. I’ll back Lino if he takes the field though.

Who would play 7 if Gale, Lino and Smith are out though? Would have to be a young lad getting his shot possibly. Abrahams maybe?

Harry Bowes played at 7 last year in Catalan, and did ok as I recall but I'm not sure who played 6 that day.

Liam Kay. He's practically played everywhere else so far this season.

How dare they try and improve the team.

But that's what a leader does.....".creates space and gets players moving around him"........ Hopefully Gale can help him even if not on the field but .....a leader is natural !!

You should offer your services to the club. We could do with a clairvoyant and an expert on signing top class players on a budget.

WE ? are you Carters spokes person. If so you have got it all wrong, the club needs someone who isn't conned by ruthless agents and is able to recognise garbage when it is offered. Perhaps if the bloke had decided to employ the services of someone who actually knew something about rugby League , the squad would be far more competitive.

Michael Carter may have many admirable qualities but knowledge of rugby league is not one of them, his past three years as self appointed CEO and rugby director is proof of that.

Don't you ever use the word "We" when talking about Wakefield Trinity?

Think he made a fair point ,Gale is no longer a top player ,but in the 2 games he will have played for us this season ,as shown he was the best half we had .We find out self going into the Championship because over the last 4 year we have just been signing good S L players who have been over the hill when they get here ,and a lot as the playmaker of the team .D Brough ,Gaskell now Gale i could name a lot more. We are not in the position were we can sign a player and have him out for 7 or 8 week .When are we going to learn old players and S L is a no go Gutted as Gale just opened the door a bit to stop us from relegation But do think we have got to look at the way they are been trained ,or the back room staff who,s job it is to keep them fit

Oh god I'm off. Its bad enough that our bad luck has hit us again, without the usual it's all carter's fault bell ends wading in again.
Ta ra

Okay that’s one of Carter’s disciples gone.

Have they not learnt from Brough and Gaskell the risk of signing a 30+ year old halfback is my point.

Anyone know how many injuries we have had over the last 3 years that have occurred during training? It seems be happening more often with us. Is Lino suspended as some have suggested or injured? If injured after the Wigan game we could go and ask Wigan for Ryan Hampshire to plug the gap for now. Oh wait I don't think that will happen for obvious reasons.
