He is running freely and has been training with the first team for the past 10 days. Can't make a prediction for when he'll be on the pitch but he looked to be gong well and was throwing the ball about like the class act he is. I know this personally as I watched them training. No limps, no sign of him complaining, not pulling up after running. Wishful thinking from Dullers or our doom and gloom merchants who seem to take delight at putting the club and players down.

I hope he gets fit and plays some games this season, Although I want you to lose every game and get relegated, we need quality players in SL

You dislike him. Everybody knows - further reiteration hasn't been needed for a while. His posts are generally within the AUP, a good proportion of yours are not. Let's move on, eh?

Escape his posts forever with the for function, if you like.

Exactly what I have been told and Campo even says he has been participating in contact sessions in the York Post blog he pens. Having said that, if he isn't 100% then he doesn't play IMO, however, the mounting pressure from a poor pre-season might see him rushed back. TBH losing to Cas won't be the end of the world unlike some would have us believe.

And reinforced by the man himself on camera in an interview today on Hull KR TV.

I reckon Round 3 home to Wakey.

Based on our previous two displays, we may well lose to Castleford, very possibly against Warrington,(away) and St Helens (home).
Wakefield are possibly the best chance of a win at home, unfortunately, by then the end of the world might seem that little bit closer as we will already playing catch up with the rest.
Losing a home game is never something we want to happen and our home ground should be a fortress, especially so when you consider our atrocious away form last season, that was a huge area of concern and one that I see no signs of getting any better anytime soon, at least not under the current leadership of Chester and Poching I'm afraid to say.
Having said all that, I do hope I'm proved wrong and there is a miraculous turn around in our fortunes, one can only hope pray and believe in miracles.

Campese has been training with the first team for many weeks now, not within the role of the first receiver, but training nonetheless ……Unfortunately, the success of our season is dependent upon Campese being the first man receiver ……Marsh is currently a championship player at best and Blair only offers the same at half-back.

If Campese comes back fit and can lead us around the park, then this may offset our light forward pack and give our “off the cuff” players a chance to score points through their individual talents and skills (Kelly, Lunt, Sio and Dixon), but if Campese comes back and is cropped again and is forced to retire (just like Weyman and Goulding) we will be in serious trouble …..Unfortunately, the success of this season depends upon this .....And when I say success, I mean whether or not we scrape the top 8 or are a strong side within the qualifying 8 .....How sad is that when celebrating our 10th year anniversary within the Super League?!

Ruth Ellis? I doubt if she'll hang around for too long.
