Big blows for top four rivals : Tue Feb 09, 2016 10:22 am  

Luke Robinson has been forced to retire through injury and Michael Shenton is out for the season. Obviously nobody likes to see players getting injured but it obviously gives us a boost over Huddersfield and Cas (Hudders especially, not really sure what their other options are at hooker?).

they've got that ryan hinchcliffe at huddersfield who i think they were expecting to be main hooker, plus they've got that Cruz Leeming an academy player who was bloody good at times last year, think they also have Kyle Wood to come back,

Shenton is the bigger loss, he's also their captain.
Huddersfield seem to be falling apart at the seems, every week they seem to get weaker.
Good luck Robbo in your next venture.

Add in Wigan missing Tomkins, Leeds now missing McGuire. Not to forget we have a number still missing.

Add Catalans Dragons' hooker Paul Aiton to that list. Out for 6 weeks

We really need to put KR and Wakefield away, getting some momentum going. Get the team gelling properly and fluently in attack and we could have a good year to put 2015 behind us....

Some really bad injury's there best wishes to Luke Robinson no player likes to finish early, it brings to mind the horrible memories of our ill fated season last year let's hope we stay clear of long term injuries.

I actually thought Robinson was a weak link in big games for them
