Injury Update - Look Away Now : Tue Mar 31, 2015 12:01 pm  

Atelea Vea suffered a shoulder injury at Hull KR and will have more tests this week to determine how best to manage the problem. It is likely he will be unavailable for several months.

Travis Burns will also be missing for some time too with several facial issues including a triple fracture of the cheekbone.

Jonny Lomax will undergo exploratory surgery to find out the extent of his knee problem and the prognosis is he will be out for nine months.

James Roby, Paul Wellens and Joe Greenwood are set to have late fitness tests this week to determine whether they can factor in the Good Friday clash.

Definitely missing Friday: Lomax, Percival, Burns, Walsh, Vea
Doubtful: Wellens, Roby, Greenwood

and that fat dirty sod got 1 match for causing a triple fracture. Real justice.

I think most people suspected Lomax was done for the year , the fact they are having to go poking around means it could still end up worse.

If the bottom 3 mentioned miss out we could be staring down the barrel of a slapping. Time for some more young lads to step up ? Hewitt and maybe some others to get a chance to impress maybe.

Lomax puts us on the back foot for next year straight away, he's missing the hard graft of pre-season so you could call it a year from today if not longer before he's available again, and then how will he be?

We definitely need some back cover, even more so if Wello and Lance leave.

Really unfortunate after such a good start, very difficult week coming up now and even more so if any of the last three fail their fitness tests.

Best case scenario is Roby, Wellens and Greenwood make it and we look like this:

Wellens
Makinson
Dawson
Turner
Swift
Hohaia
Wilkin
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Flanagan
Greenwood
Thompson

Richards
Masoe
LMS
Jones

Worst case is those 3 miss out and something like this:

Makinson
Dawson
Jones
Turner
Swift
Flanagan
Wilkin
Amor
Hohaia
Walmsley
LMS
Savelio?!
Thompson

Masoe
Richards
Ashworth
Walker?!

That does put Burns's performance into perspective.
