Seriously, what have we done to get all these injuries? not just any old injuries either, were talking broken arms and cheekbones and legs etc.

Bloody nightmare and we now have 1 hooker left who is 18.

Young Hulme has a big task ahead of him.

he could get some tips off his old chap and his uncle china two tough mothers in there playing days,wish we had them now.

I can only see Hulme doing 80 minutes at the moment as we have no other options. We could potentially move Gerrard to Hooker with James and Davies back and move Kav to second row and Doran to Loose.

Varks also went of yesterday and didnt come back on

Rumour has it Steve O'Connor refused to buy some pegs off a gypsy.

Its all your own fault

Thacks can do a spell there during the game if neccessary to give Hulme a rest - he has done it before.

<Insert Leigh joke here>

Thought I'd get there before anyone else

I'd start with Gerrard at hooker and spell Hulme.

I think we should be looking at bringing in a loan to cover Coyle/Smith, anyone decent at SL not getting in their team.

Jon Clarke hasn;t played for wire for ages

I do need to get out of bed earlier off nights - pesky Leythers

.

Do you think there would be any mileage in looking at the training methods? Maybe they're not doing it properly? Having all this fancy equipment and facilities is no substitution for running up and down a good old fashioned hill in Oldham.

Huddersfield have got Lunt/Robinson/Faiumu/Drew who are all now competing for at most 2 spots at hooker. Faiumu would be worth looking at surely? Might not be needed now brough has shoved robinson into playing at hooker?

Faiumu is playing in the back row. Drew isn't playing however. Worth asking, if he's eligible to come here. AFAIK, Clarke has been injured. Not sure if he's fit again now, but the general consensus from the Wires if that he's fallen out of favour anyway.

I'd prefer to throw Hulme in at the deep end.

Dual contract is for under 24's or summat int it? No chance of Drew if that's the case, though in theory it wouldn't have been a problem under the old loan system?

can still loan though

IMO, Drew would rip this division up - if we can get him along with another prop I'd be very happy.

isnt drew injured ???

Think he is ok now or will be by next week.

Yes. Cursed to forever live in the shadow of your challenge cup holding nearest and dearest!
