Any news on the injuries? Should we be worried?

Frightening, with a squad of 27, that we are already struggling to raise a team!

Deeply concerning if true we have injuries

I hear we struggling for backs and jukes don’t want to risk some other players which I think the lads need as much game time as possible together to gel before first game of season.

It’s hard to criticise this decision in the big scheme of things, as the healthier the team is at the start of the season the better. But it is worrying that we cannot field a healthy 17 less than a month away from our first game.
It is undoubtably the correct decision and I just hope that it means we will be fitter throughout the season because of this.
It does though have me very worried about how fit and durable our team will be by the business end.

What puzzles me is we are scheduled to play Wigan at the LSV and Saints the following week, now the question is , Are we expecting all these injuries to clear up in a week?Or are the Wigan and Saints games in jeopardy as well?As we are only 4 weeks from the new season starting, I'm not to worried myself, if in doubt , keep yer greasepaint dry in its pot, an owd Clowns bit of Soothsaying.Don't worry.

I counted 10 players to capably cover the 5 slots, most folk I know are suffering with the plague, the hit outs v Saints and Wigan will see us right for the big one v Toronto, especially with the contact work done in pre season against SL teams

Tad of the old smoke and mirrors in Bongser's humble opinion. After reading the elation (errrm) posted hereupon when the Donny fixture was announced, of the opinion that there will not be much Leythe ticket dosh being handed back tomorrow. Lot's of bending over backward in the press release to appease the Dons for telling them to keep their moat. Mr Huyton, at least, will be delighted that the new away kits will not be sullied.

All will be well come the Glorious Fourth.
