That's what auto-correct does for you

As for Lauaki, I'd be willing to bet he's injured. I just don't see Lowes dropping him.

Give o'brien plenty of breaks this year no need to flog him, hopefully with love grove lauaki is kept out 10min game time is pointless.

Has anyone else noticed that the Whitehaven website has gone?

They have the internet in Cumbria?

I would hope after last week, that Lauaki has been dropped rather than rested.

However it's more likely he picked up an injury or something.

Cameo if injured it would be due to him actually sprinting to make a tackle, his muscles aren't used to it!

Blythe and Clark to miss for me. I think in Cumbria (weather and all) it will be a forwards game. So Blythe usually offers utility off the bench, this may not be needed. And Clark misses due to it being a forwards game (may not be fit enough for a proper arm wrestle) so hopefully give him small spells next week against a potentially easier Swinton team.

Although I can see Lowes keeping Blythe on the bench instead of Lumb.

Just before Lauaki came off, he was trying to stretch by the post, then as he came off, he attempted a jog along the touchline. If it was a straight forward substitution players don't usually run or jog to the bench. I think its likely he picked up an injury.

If he is injured let's hope it's nothing trivial!

Yeah, it's powered by pigeons

Re: Whitehaven (A) : Fri Feb 12, 2016 1:25 pm  

I am hoping lauaki is dropped/rotated rather than injured. Jimmy needs to show that no one can just plod around and expect to get picked this year as that person will be a liability come the qualifiers.
