Yes that is correct. Bain will be a m for us but I think Pele will be a bigger miss for them. I like Pele, he is a Fifita type player, he was the right player but at the wrong time for Hull. I can see another Super League team taking a punt on him next season which is why he has only signed at Bradfford until the end of the year.

I suppose next season Pele could be both a risk and an advantage.

The tackle height lowers next year. Tackling Pele low will cause defences a huge issue. However Pele defensively would find it much more difficult to get low in the tackle especially around tackling pivotal players and will be a huge target for penalties.

Pele not playing will be a massive boost for Trinity the problem us wakey will only have 1 middle on the bench which isn't ideal. I supprised dp aint gone into the loan market

Hopefully we have a couple of players return.

One of Doyle or Hood and a prop or two would be nice.

Do we actually know what the issue is with Doyle, Bowden, Atoni a d maybe even Cozza?

Honestly though, even with injuries I’m still going to back us to win. The players this season have always found a way whether it’s pretty or not.

I have been told there will only 1 middle on the bench and i know smith isnt playing for the reserves at this moment so would assume hood or doyle are out.cozza is out for 3 months due to head knocks .

Atoni and Bowden definitely out.

How far off is Boothroyd?

Not sure tbh, but I can't see him from where I am..........

Very good BG

Wonder if the club are looking to bring in a middle or 2.if these guys are out for a while we are really thin in middle department esp with vangana been out for long period.it may not matter now but ky and caleb doing big stints could come into effect come the end of the season and the playoffs

Is Sam Eseh still at Leeds? That dual reg with Wigan would've come in handy right now.

It certainly would come in handy. Hopefully some loan for a forward can be sorted this week.

We had a good relationship with Hudds last season too so hopefully there’s some prop not getting game time who could be an option for us.

We have Rodwell Uele and Shaw.
Two of them do 60 minutes one does 40.
They still get good rests.

With Pitts at 13 we should still be strong enough.

Missing Hood and Doyle is a bigger miss. They take a lot of the defensive work in the middle.
Someone should spell Harvey....Kay being the obvious one but then who plays half back.
If Max then Booth to Fullzback.

Needs to be well drilled to make all that work.

If Hood’s calf is fine then Kay stay at 6 but if not then as you say Jowitt will have to go to 6 and Booth to fullback.

The back line should be good, the second row forwards should be good too and loose.

Happy for Smith to keep his shirt. Played pretty well vs Batley.

I wonder when Vagana will make his return, he seems to have been out for ages now. It was a wrist injury, wasn't it? Surely he's close because we definitely could use him just to freshen up the props a bit.

I seem to remember a injury update saying Vagana was due back early September, he might just make a couple of games before playoffs start.

Wow, that's some time off he's had to have, I thought I remember it being 3 months but I could be wrong. Does anyone remember what the actual injury was?

Yes he did his thumb and they said 12 weeks or more.

I’m sure it was his wrist but the timeline is about right with him back around or before the playoffs.

Boothroyd in the injury update 3 weeks ago Crowther said he was 6-8 weeks and half way through that. We are at the 6 week mark I believe this weekend so maybe there’s an outside chance for him to play a short stint but I guess we will see with the team.

That was Mc Meeken,
Vagana dislocated his wrist and damaged his ligaments

Doyle has had a rib injury but the club have not put a timeline on his return as yet
