Lima is in with a shout of playing against Leeds. Josh and Micky Mac have a chance as well. Pat is a week or two away.
I know that. My wonder is about what his actually I Injury is...? I know i'm at risk of the hilarious 'we need an announcement' brigade piping up here but even the media boys don't seem to have told us what's up with him, never mind the club.
Did this broken cheekbone injury ever get any more light? Hope he plays on Sat. Much needed!
Shaun was first asked about the injuries,starting with Josh Charnley who missed the Wakefield trip following a calf injury he sustained on England duty,
"I will know more about that at the end of the week, he won't train today. It was a bad calf injury, I hope we get him back, his form was fantastic.
"Jeff Lima is in contention to play, 90%, Paul Prescott might train today.
"It is a bit of a short turnaround for us this week, Leeds have had two more days and I won't have everyone training today which is a shame, we only have two full days of training for today and tomorrow, we have to just make the best of it. I am not sure what my team will be just yet."
On other longer term injuries, Shaun was asked about Pat Richards,
"He is still about six weeks still, it was a pretty big operation he had, Pat has been driving himself in rehab which may have set him back another week."
And on Stu Fielden,
"He should be training next week on the field with us and he is another body, we will consider him once he is fit and played a few games in the 20's. I won't rush him after all this time, if it's 2 or 4 weeks I will wait to get the nod off our physio Becky."
Shaun confirmed there were no fresh injuries from the win on Sunday at Wakefield.

To have Lima and Prescott available would be massive for us and if they are I'd probably carry Flower on the bench as an extra backrower alongside those 2 and Faz.
I'm pretty sure Charnley will be ok. If they were hugely concerned surely they would have given Jack Murphy a run out on Sunday rather then a player who'll be cup tied this week. I also read Charnley replying to Bradley Wiggins on twitter telling him he'd be ok.
Any word on McIlorum? By the same token of us not giving Jack Murphy a run out on Sunday making me think Charnley is fine we did give Logan Tomkins the start ahead of Smith so he could be a doubt.

I fear for us with just Logan as a hooker against Leeds, without Mickey Mac I think we will definitely struggle
