He's now injured..not playing Sunday

I reck9n were throwing the towel on for Sunday and throwing everything into the london game 3 players back from bans, 4 from hia and who know who back from injury

I agree, just hope the three games in a week for Leigh keeps the score down.

Will we notice?

He hasn't been great, apart from the Wigan gane, but if he is out, not sure what the alternative is, Charles, but that leaves us with Moy, Walker and Charles, which is unbelievable inexperienced in those positions.

doubt it
another dud but lets give him a chance after his injuries resounds across the FC forum

Not sure on your point. It was perfectly fair and reasonable to say give him a chance to get match fit when he returned but nobody is still saying that.

if you go back a few weeks when fans were starting to realise how average Trueman actually is several were still saying give him a chance to recover from his injury.
You cant keep playing the injury card even though i agree its taken away what bit of pace that he had at Cas.
Like it or not he has been a dud signing for the club and a very expensive dud signing.
Clifford made him look better when he played because most of the play,kicking and line breaks were down to Clifford so the focus was not onTrueman as it is now.
Its unlikely that Lam will sign but my opinion is the club should make an effort to move Trueman on,and if the rumour of signing for Wakefield is true than thats a good move by the club who recognise we can do a lot better at halfback than Trueman

But is anyone still saying to give Trueman a chance after his injury? I don't think so.

You have this odd bee in your bonnet lately about people giving players a chance. Isn't that normal with new signings? They might turn out to be duds like Pele and Okunbor but at least see them play a few times first. Would you expect to be given a chance in a new job?

Agree. Clifford was playing in a poor team but he took responsibility and made things happen, Sometimes it didn't pay off but he was prepared to have a go. Trueman last season eased himself back after a horrendous injury which is understandable. This season we have been just as bad but he hasn't imposed himself enough when needed. He drifts through games when more urgency and direction is needed. Ben Reynolds doesn't have the ability of Trueman but in the short time he was here was more effective. I wouldn't write him off because I think he's a good player but he should be doing a lot more especially if he's a marquee player. A move to Wakefield would by best for him and the club.

Whether the rumours are true or not about trueman going to Wakey, I'd be looking at moving him on now.
Another 7 plus weeks out injured, after the other long lay offs. He must give biscuit bones (Adam dykes) a run for his money

Feck me , We just cant get anything to go our way this season .

Another Brett Hodgson masterstroke.

To fair to Hodgson, he's hardly been the only person working at the club in the past six or so years to have pulled out a 'masterstroke!' Think he can join a long queue in that regard! But, yep, we can lay this one at his door I guess.

So many people making so many mistakes over so many years. No wonder we are in the mess we are in right now with a long haul ahead of us before we are back on an even keel, let alone sailing the seven seas!!

We'll be back.
Like I said after the end of Radders reign, it might take us another 20 years.......but, we'll be back.

Was talk of much longer than 7 weeks out this morning. He was in a protective boot at Uni. Hopefully he'll get back on the pitch ASAP and have an injury free run at Wakefield.

Cam Scott jumping on twitter and calling the fan base toxic.....nice.

Rightly, some people have questioned Trueman's worthiness of a contract given these injuries and he's jumped in to defend his future Wakefield teammate (hopefully)

The problem being we had already signed him prior to his first injury. So it can hardly be called as anyone’s fault. He was a very promising prospect before that

Looking at the replies and quoted tweets, you can see his point

Well we announced his signing a few days after he got injured in what was ultimatley his final Cas appearance but yes I suppose we'd agreed a deal before the injury. However he only played eleven games in 2020 and eleven in 2021 with IIRC back issues so it was always a risky signing.

I have never understood the bashing of players for being injured. Do people think they go out to sustain serious injuries on purpose? Do they think he enjoyed spending the last two pre seasons at a new club coming back from 9 month lay offs, training on their own in the cold winter months? Just to get grief when they unfortunately sustain another knock.

By all means, question the players worth as a fan, but to directly attack a player is just plain weird.

The area which fans should be blaming is the clear neglect of the clubs back room staff by those in charge for years. It is no coincidence we have had several injury crisis’s in recent years.

As for Cam Scott, very lazy to accuse an entire fan base of been toxic.

Trueman saying on twitter his achilles is fine and he's just pulled his calf? Claims he'll be back before the end of the season

Trueman tweeted he hopes to be back for the last few rounds

The thing is I guess however loyal you are to have 18 players out at the same time for a number of reasons is either the worst luck we have had for decades or an indication that moral is low, they like us can't wait for the season to end or many are as frustrated as us (bans), just unlucky with injuries, not fit (Injured) or just fed up of losing. but whatever the reason these are dire times and with an inability to bring anyone else in the morale patience and indeed dispondency of the loyal in any kinda weather brigade is at an all time low.

Folks have over reacted on their concern on social media something I guess that is reflected in a much more serious and disgusting way on the national scene too, but that's what happens I guess these days with keyboard warriors and folks in their bedrooms tapping away on their keyboards with the curtains drawn and there is absolutely no excuse for it.

We all still love the club, but times are really tough for us all and and that is manifest in many different levels of frustration, but the fact remains that Folks have just had enough and many are now getting out of the habit of going to games, even if they have season tickets and I never thought I'd ever see that. However, they are just fed up and seasons next years will be a tough old sell for the club. No news on the investor, all gone quiet on the signings front and worries about Beaumont and Co trying to reverse the IMG stuff just out of petulance (in his case at least) Big signings and some real hope are needed to even start to save the situation. Take your boots on Sunday it will be a long afternoon. Its a good job we love 'em.

PS thank goodness I haven't got Sky+!!!

and do what?
