Just heard FC talking on Radio Leeds, saying that Platt's injury is a real bad one, and will be around 12 weeks.



I know we'll have Purtell back fairly soon, but what about the meantime?



FWIW I though Addy did reasonably well last night. I know he took the wrong option at times, but his kicking game was very good. If they can get him combining better with Sammut then I think that half back combo could work until Gale comes back or Purtell returns (whichever is the sooner)



Whatever, we really cannot afford anymore injuries in the backs / half backs

Nightmare. Read that Langley picked up a knock too. Hope he will be fit for Sat.

Warrington must have some more players we can borrow! Chris Bridge isn't in the team at the moment is he?

What a pi55er for Platt. He's looked really up for it so far this year too.



Our wafer thin squad looks even thinner now. Hope Langley isn't out.

We need Gale back. I like Sammut and Addy and they both had fine games last night, but neither will give us that steadying influence in a real tight situation.

Sorry Addy didn't cut it last night, he's too slow at passing, he gets the ball and thinks about what he's going to do. Need Kearney at 6, Sammut at 7 and move Whitehead to centre for the time been.

Tend to agree with that. Addys natural position is LF so let him have a go their with one of walker/whitehead moving to the centres.

Big blow platt going from late fitness check to 12 weeks out.

Addy isn't a half back. Nor is he a hooker.



I think that the best course would be to bring in O'Brien as the interchange hooker and move L'Estrange into the halves. That allows Kearney to stay at FB and Foster out on the wing.



If Langley is out as well then that gives Addy a chance at LF. Though, after his performance against Cas, I think he'll have a hard job displacing Walker

Think walker may have picked a knock up too.

And so it begins.

Could be a tough few weeks ahead with Saints and Giants up next.. Strap in tight for a bumpy ride!

Now that would be a massive blow were Walker to miss out.
