Donk, Wheels and Maurie : Sun Jul 12, 2009 11:06 am  

Any news on their injuries? Wello's looked the worst. His face seemed to explode with blood.

It looked awful.

Maurie was apparently going for a precautionary xray on his arm.

Didn't hear anything about Wheeler.

Wellens will be stitched up and be fine. However Id give him a rest V Wakey and play Lomax

Wheeler suffered a bad bang nothing serious

Maurie has apparently broken his arm

Maurie's arm won't keep him out for that long, if it was broken it wasn't a bad one. 6 weeks I'd reckon so back for the playoffs.

Wello's is only his face, so he can play next week.

Poor bloke. I'd rest him and let Lomax in his spot.

There is no room for sentimentality in sport. It's not like he's an oil painting to begin with, so stitch him up and wheel him out, no use crying off over a cut face. He can wear a mask like players have done in the past for dramatic effect if need be.

Who are we playing next? If it's a given, then possibly he could be rested.

Wello is cute. I'd hate to see that cute face of his cut up.

Wakefield at home. Not a given. In fact, I don't think we have a given for the rest of the season, do we?

wello does get cut alot, but he's usually back next week. My first thought was maurie's arm was broken, which would be bad news. Wheels is fine, but the surgeon says the impression of the ball on his face will take some time to shift

Does anyone know if Maurie is definitely a broken arm, or is it still a rumour?

I guess the only good outcome about all of the injuries we currently have, is that all the players are getting a rest before the Playoffs.

It's massive blow if he has broke his arm as we are so light weight at prop.
