Injury to api first look they think it's ligament injury after the dislocated knee, if it us the acl that's him out for a while.

Re: BATLEY (H) : Sun Aug 14, 2016 7:48 pm  

You could see from the way Api reacted that he knew his injury was serious.

Re: BATLEY (H) : Sun Aug 14, 2016 8:16 pm  

I didn't want to say it earlier incase I was wrong / out of respect for his privacy but as it is clearly now public... It was obvious that the knee cap had dislocated so he would have instantly known it was serious. Unfortunately the reaction also made me suspect ligament issues. Just hope they aren't too serious if confirmed. Best wishes to him and respect to Jamie Soward for taking time out to try and comfort him.

Was that Brian Barwick that I saw in the car park today.
If it was, we were really honoured.

He is out for season now.... which is a real shame..

I really hope Barteau is back soon, as Leatherbarrow is just too slow for the likes of leeds and KR

Geoff

I can't see Leatherbarrow getting a recall.
I can see Bussey or Foster moving to 5/8 or maybe move Soward there and switch Cunningham to scrum half?

Unless Barthau is fit to return

Does anyone have the attendance or a link to it?

Did he have his 'book of contacts' that has served the sport so well since his appointment? Almost as well as the numerous 'blue chip sponsors' that have come on board since the free sponsorship afforded to Stobart - O'Connor the owner of Widnes! Linky Well done on the win.

I wondered why Elliot Kear was missing from the team yesterday, thought he would be one of the last players to be dropped from the nineteen.
It now seems that his partner was having a baby, so congratulations to him and his family.

Shame for him. Barthau if fit to 7, if not Eliab, Jamie to 6
