Lomax looked like knee and Percy lower leg. Percy looked like broken leg at first.

I thought the same after the first reply. Looked like it bent the wrong way.

He just isn't good enough and when he came on he did nothing. So I stand by KC's decision.

But he was playing hooker when he came on, which isn't playing half back is it. Wello, bless him, touched the ball once all night that I saw. Can't wait to see his stats, particularly his missed tackles as he was falling about all over the place.

Hohaia should have played at stand off. When Lomax went off it was simple, Wello to fullback, Lance to 6. Instead we had all sorts going on, Makinson back to fullback, LMS to centre. It was bizarre.

Wakefield are going to cop some almighty hammerings this season. They are woeful. We need to sort the 1,6,7 positions though. Are there seriously no kids in the academy able to step into those positions? We cannot replace Lomax, presuming he's out for several weeks, with Wellens, he simply isn't up to it. His defending is embarrassing now. He could have been sent off when he got stepped and he got sat on his backside by a few forwards outpacing and stepping him. There must be an academy winger, fullback or half able to step in now?

Knee ligaments for Lomax and I'd say ankle for Percival. He seemed to have the foot in a protective boot and nothing on the knee when he hobbled across the pitch didn't he?

Roby was carrying an injury and has been for some time I believe. Hohaia had to move there and Roby looked like he was defending in the HB position

But why did he wait so long to bring him on?

I think I heard Ray French said twisted ankle for Percival, don,t know about Lomax. Looks as though Dawson and Jones is in for next week, maybe Swift or Makinson or Wellens at full back.

Lance has been awful since he came on. We've lost all direction since roby gone from 9

As I said 2 days ago:

I am told by a sponsor that when they asked that was the reply from the management i.e. "out of favour" and he will not get a new deal.

Personally I'd prefer to see him in the halves over Wilkin but this is what I was told.

The sponsor is one of the coaches sponsors.

The problem is he doesn't want to play and KC doesn't want him to play,,,,, unless its the last resort (after the club dog)

Roby was carrying that arm for the last 20 mins against Cas last week.

Re: Hohaia : Fri Mar 06, 2015 11:29 pm  

I was told he is struggling with his hand/wrist. Don't know how true that is though.

Cunningham nearly let it slip in the interview at the end too! Managed to stop himself

Its after this inglorious win and a good 2 points after which that the coach has to really earn his coin with these injuries.
