Bill Tupou : Thu Apr 04, 2019 10:43 am  

Suffered a groin tear against Salford and is out for 3 months. Goes without saying it’s a huge blow and we’ll probably now have to bring in some cover.

Rubbish news! Need a outside back in now ASAP especially with Easter round the corner!

There are a few options out there as far as i can see:

Adam Swift - cant get a game at Saints and OOC at end of the year
Jodie Broughton - cant get a game at Catalans and OOC at end of the year
Dom Manfredi - cant get a game at Wigan - although may be injured
Liam Marshall - cant get a game at Wigan
Mason Caton-Brown - don't know his current situation

I'm pretty sure 3 of those are long term injuries themselves.

I wouldn't go near Marshall, his defence is appalling.

So he said but nothing mentioned during this weeks disciplinary hearings. Haven't watched the rerun on Trin TV yet so can't comment.

Manfredi is back in the Wigan team, Broughton & Marshall are long term injuries and last i heard MCB was trying to make it in Union, although that might have changed. Swift might be an option on a short term loan though and Tom Davies has been pushed out at Wigam by Joe Burgess’ return. Teams though are reluctant to let anyone go until the easter period is done.

I keep saying this but injuries happen at all clubs. Someone will have to step up whether internally or from outside. Monetary constraints may mean from within the club for now. Personally I don't panic at these things because injuries to star players are how others get their chance or are discovered. Jowitt, Kershaw and Reynolds can both play there, Hooley is one who needs to be tested anyway. Like it or not its part of the game and we just have to go for it. Kershaw in particular has gone down a bomb at Oldham, its a way lower division but its pretty physical so that shouldn't be an issue.
