Has anyone heard a time scale on the return of tom Spencer and eddie battye?
Would love to see the back in the rotation

Asked Eddie in the bar on Sunday & said the knee injury was worse than initially thought and reckoned about another 5-6 weeks for recovery. Saw Tom in the stand, but I had a brain freeze and couldn't remember his name, so didn't talk to him about his injury.

How is Ackers

Re: Injuries : Fri Mar 10, 2017 11:17 am  

I hope he gets a rest the next couple of games. Last week was a re occurrence of the injury he sustained at dewsbury. He needs time to get it right. Halifax have a bit of an injury crisis at the moment and may struggle against us on sunday, I would rather akers was rested to get hopefully fully fit for Rochdale who at current form will be a real challenge.
Not ignoring the fact that so far we have not been sparkling on the road so fax will not be a breeze. They are hurting from loss against toulouse as well, they think they were robbed and should have won it.

According to the club...

"James Cunningham is likely to be available in the next few weeks. Api Pewhairangi’s random infection is clearing, and he should be available in one to two weeks. He was set to feature on Sunday against the Bulls but took ill that morning.

Eddie Battye is set for another specialist review to confirm he is likely to be available for selection in May.

Andy Ackers’ return date will be made clearer after an upcoming specialist appointment.

Dalton Grant, Michael Channing and Tom Spencer are all progressing well."

With our injuries should we be considering a loan?
If a decent player became available?

Ackers is a big miss, however if even if he is fit for Friday I would leave him out for the game to give him an extra week to rest.
I will not be too upset if we get knocked out of the cup. We are not going to win the thing anyway.

True, but it might be nice to get past Toronto - could be a bit embarrassing for us to lose , especially if there is any meejah coverage.

I would make Toronto slight favourites
