potentially yeamo, arundel and crooks all out injured. how on earth do we sort this one out?

Looks like Horney will be at centre next week.

What's up with Arundel? Saw him holding his hand/wrist but thought he played on ok.

Looks like Horne and Whiting in the centres.

Arundel went off holding his wrist, and didn't return. Didn't see anything to cause the imjury. Hopefully he's okay.

They'd be the obvious candidates assuming Horne makes it.

Ah right, cheers. Saw him in back play but thought he got back in the line & didn't actually see him go off.

Normally that wouldn't be the end of the world, but if Tickle's out we'll be light in the back row as well.

Got a bad feeling Yeamo will miss the final!

Tickle seemed to be still on his feet during the last couple of minutes of the game.

Looked like he was limping quite badly to me when he first came off.

Arundel if its a dislocated finger

he will play

the mind games will get worse next week now Gentle has some cards to play with

I reckon Tickle is the most likely to be fine seeing him walking on the leg after full time.

Listening to Gentle on radio his attitude towards it is great. Acknowledges the injuries, but at the same time says we'll get on with it and anyone needed to come in won't let anybody down. Confident in his squad that he'll be able to put a 17 together who will give it everything.

He also said Horne will have a fitness test during the week

i will give it a go

Tickle? I'm sure it was him who was stood next to the line watching the game. With no ice on his injury?
Could be wrong though.

OK morning Bishop Burton 10:00 bring yer boots

and can I have your Wembley ticket

Gentle said bringing Tickle off was more of a precaution

No, you might be right. Just saw him being helped off by the physio and limping quite a bit shortly after. Didn't see him after that, so he might have recovered.

Shaul
Crookes
Arundel
Whiting
Briscoe

Who else will he choose if Ogre and Tickle miss out?

Can't see Yeaman making the final now



Far from our first choice 17.

Tickle was jogging after the game.

Pretty sure he did. As said, he watched the rest of the game from the touchline and joined the players to walk round the pitch after full time. I reckon both he and Arundel will play next week.

I think he's currently racing cars down Holderness Road.

I played centre for few years lol..

As for injuries, Can see Ogre, Arundel, Lineham, Tickle all playing..
Spoke to Lineham before the match an didn't give a defo answer but he was smiling about it and walking without his crutches.

Gentle said O,Meley will be back next week

Good, so from our first choice backs we're likely missing McDonnell, Lineham, Crooks and Yeaman!

Awful
