No doubt he'll be off to Wrexam. It'd be cheaper to just employ that specialist and relocate him up here.

Agar reckons it could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks on initial diagnosis.

Ligaments?

Poor Willie collapsed and needed help getting up

They don't know yet, mate. You'd think if it was anything worse, such as a break they would know pretty much straight away.

ligaments can be worse than a break

Yup. Can take longer to heal and be more difficult to treat.

Try some viagra mate

If out I'd keep Horne at FB, play Berrigan at 6 and Washy at LF.

Happy with Lee and Houghton as hookers.

It would be potentially devastating if he's out. Without Manu, we don't have a single forward likely to break a tackle.

Could be out upto six weeks according to Agar in League Express.

It is a shame about Manu. I agree with Dave K, would put Berrigan at scrum half. I thought Houghton had his best game for a while at Hooker. You could also use Motu there. I would keep Horney at fullback. Looked good under the high ball, made a great tackle on Sergant when he broke through and looks better running when he has space. Hopefully we should here some news about our two signings. Did anyone hear O Connor on sky saying that he they had their visa refused. The only plus point is that we only have 2 games in the next month because isnt there 2 cup weekends in the next month.

looked like nothing more than a sprain to me, but people dont sprain ancles anymore, they "damage ligaments"

That's what a sprain is. What difference does it make which is used to describe the injury?

I'd put Whiting in the back row and Hall in the centre. He won't be as exposed there as at full back and will be able to show what he is capable.

Ideal chance to get a "proper" 13 in the side now....but he will put Burnett in and keep Radford there.

Unless we sign Biggs and can move Biggs to wing, G Horne to centre, Whiting to 13?

Hall,Broughton and Raynor is due back......all wingers.

Hall: centre
Broughton: centre
Raynor: obviously a winger.

Are we certain that Raynor can play next game?

We actually scored more points while he was off the field, obviously teams target manu when he is on the pitch, does this mean they are not sure who to watch when he is not playing

Are we sure who to watch when he ain't playing

Tommy Lee to 2nd Row, Berro back, Houghton to spell a hooker....or

Raynor back, Grahame Horne to 2nd row

no

Are you suggesting that Manu not playing will improve our attack?

i was also surprised when we didn't look less dangerous with manu on the pitch.

not saying for 1 second manu makes us less dangerous but everyone knows we play 3-4 drives give the ball to manu on 1 tackle and kick.

by not having him on the field are we making our players think a little more about what they are doing??

It will make us less predictable, because we have to find something different to do with ball in hand other than relying on Manu all the time.
