They spelt metatarsul wrong.

until Beckham did his a few years back nobody had heard of a metatarcel injury it was always just a broken foot. Think i might go get myself one of these metatarcel things it sounds all the range at the moment.

I still blame these fancy lightweight boots never had these injuries in my day i tell thi !

That's a big blow for us. Hope he recovers well.

who is waiting in the wings after Prescot?. We are already lacking up front. Mossop is a bit of a unit, could he do it or is he better suited to 2nd row?

ben davies could probably play a few games, hes a player who plays with his heart on his sleeve and has much needed aggression to play in the front row. id say mossop could be moved up and utilise him as a prop.

Another option is chris tuson, i havent heard alot about him this year though. is he fully fit?

Ben Davies is the next prop. Mossop or Hock could also move up IMO.

Chris is back in full training but hasn't played yet. This is following his injury in the Reserves semi last year.

At the moment, if need arose, I'd be tempted to play Hock at prop and bring in either Mossop or Flanagan into the back row if required.
Obviously, the easy option would be to bring back Roberts/Goulding and put Bailey back into the back row.
