I think that Reynolds Insta post was wishful thinking. From what I hear, if it is his MCL, he will call it a day, as he has done it before. Fingers crossed for good news.

Very bad news for the club but much more importantly for Reynolds and of course Cator.

A lot of your posts have proven to be correct in the past I've noticed. You are either psychic or close to the club.

Reynolds was always a risk, certainly not worked out for him in the first season, hopefully come back stronger next season like alot of overseas players do.

We can replace both in the 17 without too much fuss but a few more injuries we are in trouble.

Really need a bit of luck, which we have had too much of this season.

I hope Connor stays at Full Back and if so a big chance for McNamara.

I think he will, certainly the next couple of games, if not I think we I'll see Shaul come in and him and Connor switch between 6 and 1 depending on if we are attacking or defending.

Whatever happens, Connor needs to be allowed the freedom when we attack.

I'm rooting for a Wigan win.

When you look at the rest of Wigan games they have a tough run in, plenty of other games to drop points in.

Our home game vs Wigan could be crucial if we manage to beat Cas and Leeds. I honestly wouldn't rule 4th place out.

Shame about Reynolds and Cator, but with others returning I think we can still finish with a bang, especially if Carlos, Connor and sneyd all hit form

Its terrible news for Cator and Reynolds and wish them both successful full and speedy recoveries. What has the club done to manage to not only get 2 serious Achilles injuries to players in the current squad this season but also 1 for a player at another club that we've signed for next season?

I would think BH will leave Connor at fullback and bring Ben McNamara in at 6 and then bring Shaui in on the bench to cover 9 and FB which again gives us options to be able to change things during a game if needed.

Think Shaul may go to stand off and he and Connor will swap roles in attack and defence, as per Saturday, Brett Hodgson hinted that Shaul has new “skills” since his return.

By the way, can this thread be renamed to “season re-galvanised”

Depends if we back-up tomorrow night.

I'd go with Mcnamara but if he can't replicate Reynolds taking the line on committing defenders then releasing Connor, I'd try Shaul in the role
