Not looking good for us. Can sense a similar start to season as last year.

No Leeming
No Symonds
No Seb
No Cudjoe (Confirmed)
No Mellor (Confirmed by himself)

If Symonds is injured the club should pay him out and release him and look to bring someone in.

If we pay him wont it count on our cap. Regardless of whether he plays.
What’s up with leeming?

No idea - the club are terrible at letting the fans know

He came with a chronic knee injury so no surprises that he's having issues with his knee, ditto Gaskell when he has hamstring problems,

surely these issues would have been known to the person /people that signed them up the players concerned must have thought they had hit the jackpot but the people that are signing em have a history of signing injury prone players

Gaskell hasn’t had problems with his hamstring last season has he? Thought it was heart scare.
If we didn’t take on players with previous injuries we wouldn’t sign anyone- Leroy had that nasty injury as a teen - what if we hadn’t given him a contract.
On the other side of the coin Luke o donnell came over here having not missed a game in forever- he couldn’t stay fit once here.

gaskell played plenty games last season, everyone was crowing he will never play a game for the giants, proved them wrong.

the club just leave fans guessing on players injuries, or the media cant be bothered reporting or the coaches just want to play mind games so the oppo dont know whos playing

suppose we as fans will have to just guess once the squad is announced whos going to play

be interesting to see how the pack get on without ikahihifo.... because without him its pretty average

we may see brough play hooker today too in the match with gaskell and rankin half backs to see how it works
