Yes it can. It's for fan/press information only, not binding.

Much respect to Ridyard if this is true. You'll be a different proposition (assuming morale is good in the camp) with him on the field. Best half in this league by some distance, better than a lot in super league too.

To be honest its admirable if Riddy has done that but I wouldn't risk it or him.
Its early season and we've only lost one game and despite all the doom & gloom we have started to look good the more games we have played despite the huge injury crisis.
Ridyard will be critical towards the end of the season so lets get him and all the other players right and fully fit for the business end of the season.

Agreed unless we absolutely have to bring him back let him recover. I think last season any of these injured players would have been played. We seem to have learnt our lesson, no point having players playing with an injury all season then not being fit when it matters, let them recover properly so they are fit come the business end.

I agree with Jenky and LS

Big raps to Riddy for offering to play injured (if only some others showed that commitment to the cause). But he's bound to be targeted by the Eagles and one big hit could set him back weeks, never mind leaving us a sub short on the day

Way too big a risk IMO.

He should not play, if he does he could regret it.

Absolutely. If he has expressed a willingness to play, his gesture should be appreciated, but politely declined, in his own, and the teams long-term interests.

Ridyard is in the team

Poor coaching de is ion if he's not fully fit, this is a tough game for those at peak fitness never mind someone's carrying an injury.

Smith injured in warm up! Replaced by Harper

Re: Injuries : Mon Mar 07, 2016 12:29 pm  

Can add a couple more to the ever growing injury list!

Lee Smith - bicep (possibly torn) - awaiting a scan

Greg Worthington - adductor muscle - 3 weeks ish.

At least Riddy is back assuming he came through yesterday ok, some good news at last!
