Danny Richardson : Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:39 am  

It had to happen sooner or later! http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... jury-blow/ Hopefully, Josh Woods can take the opportunity created by Richardson's absence. It does leave us thin at half back though.

As you say Alan, it had to happen at some stage.However with Barrow on Sunday and games against Dews ,Sheff , and Batley,approaching hopefully we can win these games, and Woods get a bit of form back, it’s not the end of the world.

True Ian, but I was being pessimistic about what would happen if one of our halves gets injured. We've no cover there, or elsewhere in the backs, for that matter. I wonder what is happening about the other 2/3 signings our owner mentioned? (along with Emmitt)

Riddy didn’t do badly against Sheffield did he? It’s about time Woods showed us something.

I wouldn't be surprised if James Laithwaite is announced soon Alan.

Good, if he's shaken off his nasty injuries. I was thinking more in terms of a back/some backs.

Well it was always likely to happen so the timing could be a lot worse.
He and Riddy worked well last week by all accounts (not seen the whole game yet) so another week to cement the partnership is a good thing. It does highlight our shortage of depth but we also have McNally if needed down the line.
More bodies would also be good !

The reason Catalans won the game was because he was on the field.

His kicking game was atrocious!

He'll be lucky to be playing at Haresfinch or Clock Face in 2020

JC,it was a Danny’s first Saints game for a while, the conditions were terrible for both sides.As for Danny’s kicking game.?Didnt Peyroux score off one of Danny’s chip kicks?I would have back at Leigh anytime, along with Swift, who is out of contract at Saints this year.

Considering it was Adam Swift's first hit out of the season, I thought he got up to pace very quickly. I wonder who, if anyone, Saints will let us have over Easter? We have been lucky with injuries so far, but without our Saints loan/Dc players, we are very thin on the ground. Obviously, 'our own' players will have to play at HKR on Thursday, but then expecting the same 17 to perform over two Easter games, would be a big ask.

Whilst not being a fan of D/R, I accept we have had no alternative this season. I have, however, been impressed with the quality and commitment of every single player they have sent us.
