Hooker injuries : Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:11 am  

Spoke to Ben Kaye this morning and his shoulder isn't good. He reckons it will be a few weeks before he is fit to play. Not good, especially with Brandon being out for another 6 - 7 weeks.

When is Will Sharp back? That would solve the hooker crisis because I cant see Robinson in that position when Worrincy, Sharp and Saltonstall are all available. Failing that I hear that Salford have a pretty good young lad available who can play full back.

Sharp out for another 4 weeks I believe GFB

Sharp will be back for Sheffield game

If they are all fit of course.
Maybe move Johnston to fullback, Moore into the halves with Robinson and Barber as the interchange at 9.

Ryan Maneely would have had a great opportunity here, shame he's in an improving Rochdale side. Unless we can give a Salford lad a good month with us, Connor is going to have to take one for the team, and Johnno to Full back.
What's our academy hooker like? Is opportunity knocking, this is how people get to make a name for themselves,
If the pack play like they did in the second half, whoever hooks will have decent chance.
Huge game for our pack next week, if they can put in a shift like the second 40, well have a decent chance with or without our first choice hookers,

Paper thin squad already down to the bare bones after 1 match. Now we are Dual-Reg with Salford for a reason. They should be sending a few of their boys across the Pennines.

Featherstone take full advantage of their dual-reg, I think its about time we do the same, or just sack the whole thing off. The Hull KR DR was a farce, and this seems to be going the same way.

In fact, I'll bet Chester Butler will be on their subs bench next week!

We will miss BK, solid player and very good in defence. Quite possibly too brave for his own good as you know he`s injured and not just being rested if he doesn't come back on. Barber went well offensively but we need a strong defender also. Maybe a DR and Connor moving up from FB. As mentioned Sharpy will be back for Sheffield if selected.
