So which genius in the medical team was letting him walk round on it then?

Exactly. Absolutely amateurish from the club once again concerning injuries. Our season is over, in a salary cap sport you cannot lose your best 2 strike backs (Lomax and Makinson) and still manage to win on the big occasions. Its just not going to happen.

Re: Injuries : Sat Jun 06, 2015 10:32 pm  

what a joke. I really am getting fed up of these injuries to our key players.

I can't remember the last time we faced Wigan with a full strength side.

Absolutely gutted for Makinson. He has been the best winger in the competition this season and was a shoe in for England.

Let's wait and see before we consign ourselves to wrist slitting. One of the most reliable posters on t'other forum says scans will only happen on Monday - which would make more sense as some of the swelling would need to go down ...

All just hearsay at this point!

We thought our season was over last season and looked what happened. It's not ideal but someone else like Fleming is gonna have to come in and prove himself.

They think it's broken and ligament damage. I'm just back playing from a broken ankle myself and I was out nearly 3 month and I had no ligament damage.

I'm told they hope it's not as bad as they suspect but if it is, it will be 4-6 month out.

Well Percival is going to have to emulate Newlove a lot earlier than we were hoping for.

It's unfortunate, but lets not jump off the deep end, Tommy has been great, so has Percival when he has been available.
We will just have to Improvise, Adapt, Overcome.

Who's going to play wing? Dawson is out also. Some say we don't need a winger next year

Re: Injuries : Sun Jun 07, 2015 7:21 am  

Is Dawson not due to play in the next week or so?

I'd imagine Fleming if not Dawson.

But by adapt, you could go left field and put a big defensive second rower out there to bash the opposition wingers.
Or Jones to Centre, Percival to Wing. ( I know Jones got a knock too)

I would not argue that another winger maybe desirable, but I would argue a top class winger would mean Swift or Makinson going elsewhere.

You can have as many wingers as you like, but few teams have 3 top class wingers in their side.

If we sign a top of the range winger, then the back up will still be Dawson and Fleming as I'd imagine swift will not want to play second fiddle for the rest of his career.

I wouldn't move percy. He's going to be our centre for next 10 years. He should be left to develop in the centre and not messed about.

Bailey Defo won't be there after what hull did to him.
