Yes - we'll need 20 out for that to happen.
13 with 3requiring injections to start doesn't do it in afraid.

The cc has come at the right time I think.

But we'll need a few more weeks before the numbers injured really start to fall.

I don't think Eddie would mention our injures unless we couldn't fill a team at all, then he might joke on his own laughter and joy. I've only herd Wigan have had some injuries apparently

Re: Injuries and players back : Thu May 05, 2016 2:18 pm  

Could we get some bodies on loan from Wigan maybe?

Well they are trying to keep it quiet, but apparently they have a lot of injuries.

can they not send Sam on loan to us, as they think we're a lesser team to facilitate his comeback?

There's clearly something wrong with our game for so many teams to have so many injuries. As well as risking the players long term health, its also short changing the spectators when so many first choice players are missing from each match. Is it full time professionalism that's causing this problem - or maybe its the introduction of the 10m rule which has led to players becoming bigger and faster?

I've gathered estimates for when we should be expecting each of our injured players to be available:

Atkins: Round 16
Russell: Round 14
Sandow: Round 17
Hughes: Round 20
Westwood: Round 14
Dodds: Probably won't appear again this season
Dwyer: Round 16
Laithwaite: Round 19
Harrison: Probably won't appear this season
Wheeler: Probably won't appear again this season
T King: Round 16
B Evans: Round 15
Patton: Round 21
Johnson: Round 21
Bailey: Round 16

I don't know whether my reckoning is right but using your list barring any further significant injuries we should be in substantially better shape when Leeds pay us a visit at home with Oldham in the CC, a tricky tie at Wakefield and at home to Castleford to negotiate prior?

Harrison could be July/August I think.
