Bad news for the lad, been having a good season and put in some good performances against us. Hopefully its a couple of weeks rather than a couple of months.

The weak spot in the centres being covered by second rowers hurts us in trying to cover his loss. I’d rather put KPP there in that left second row but Isa at centre fills me with dread.

Yes that's the big problem this causes (in addition to the obvious blow of losing Farrell himself). KPP at left second row would be a great replacement but that would leave us a centre short (assuming Bibby comes back in). Our attack broke down on three seperate occasions on Friday when we went wide to Isa on the left - he either didn't have the skill to take the ball in under pressure or ran the wrong line.

You could move Isa to second row or risk bringing Halsall in but neither will happen. I just hope if Isa moves to centre then he'll play on the right where he's played most of his time there - no idea why Peet switched KPP to the right and moved Isa to the left on Friday.

If it is as bad as they think, then it will be several months. The initial thought is that it's his ACL.

Damn, damn, damn.

Big loss if true.

Not ideal but part of the game, we move on.

F**k

We have been here before. Use Friday to work on some combinations and move forward into the play offs. Big loss but such is life.

They need to see a second specialist Peet has said to get clarity. That presumably means there is an issue and it’s just working out how bad it is and what needs to be done.

A real miss but there you go, that’s rugby league and players will step up. Sam Powell back for the semi final by the sounds of things.
