I think hudds will already be distracted. U19s player Ronan Costello air lifted to hospital yesterday and match against Salford abandoned. I think that will be preying on the players minds.

Saw something about that, poor lad. Have their been anymore updates?

No, no details about the type of injury sustained, or his condition. Just that it was a serious injury and he was air lifted to Leeds general infirmary.

Sad to see things like this. I hope he has a quick recovery.

Ronan Hit his head on the ground whilst being tackled, no foul play or blame with anyone, just a freak accident.

He was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent surgery for his injury, he remains there in a critical condition.

I've coached against Ronan for a number of years and have been his coach at Huddersfield for the last two years. He is a strong character and a superb young man, all at Wakefield Trinity are thinking of him and my prayers and best wishes are with him and his family at this really difficult time.

All the best Ronan, speedy recovery

Odd thing is I've been on the Cronulla forums and they don't seem to agree with you at all. Aussie fans are usually very derogatory about any player who as they see it has to resort to SL. In David's case they mostly to a fan seem to think the move away from his twin in particular will do him some good yet they are sad to see him go. Finally they have no doubts whatsoever that the potential is there.

So on reflection I'll continue to ignore your feux expertise and listen to our coach and actual Cronulla supporters - oh and most vitally give the lad a chance and see how he goes in a Trinity shirt (a pleasure you will never have I suspect) - thanks.

Lots of the Cronulla fans question why he has not been getting game time and think he is a lot better than they have had on the subs bench and if you watch some of the clips of him he can certainly motor for his size. Chester thinks he will add whats needed to the squad so that will do for me.
