Thought he played well. Fair play to the lad on the back of a bad injury.

Will be very difficult to get anything out of this year now without a high quality mid season signing. I'd imagine Havard could miss the rest of the year (if not all but the last few) and with Cooper out already we'll be without our best two front rowers. No overseas quota spot will make it very tricky though.

Unless Cust & Mago or talked into leaving or MAYBE Willie Isa calls it a day

Isa is having his best season imo, why would we want him to clear off?

Are dislocated elbows that bad? I thought I’d seen some players come back within a few weeks. I recall Nathan Massey being back in 2 weeks for Cas but maybe his was more straightforward (if it went straight back in).

Usually one to three months dependant on the severity.

So did I. He has far more to offer than Cust and he will get better the more game time he has.

With the Havard injury and the potential money issues at Salford, surely now is the time to push for Tyler Dupree?

You're right - I assumed three to four months - quick google says 3 weeks to 3 months depending on severity so hopefully we get the best case scenario for once. Singleton should be back for the quarter final at least and we do now have some outside backs that help to win territory.

The short term at least looks tough with a run of away games against the better sides.

I think that’s a nonstarter as we don’t pay transfer fees, we have Hill and Nsemba to come in and take his place, hopefully we will be in the mix when he returns from injury.
