Im affraid its bad news both for Goddard and Beswick,both out for the remainder of the season with serious injuries.Johns got ankle ligament damage and Bobs broken his right ankle and is out for 12 weeks,they are both truly gutted.



Just could i start a thread on wishing the lads a speedy recovery,Goddard has been outstanding the last 6-8 weeks and Beswick will be missed,hes been consistant all season and will miss his work rate in defence.



It will intresting to see who Matt will bring in to replace these two valuable players.

I think we have enough cover to cover these injuries, i fully trust every member of the squad can do a job for the club.



John is always one of my favourate players since he signed cause we all know what he can do, one of the best centres in the league,



Bob has been really consistent all season and we are going to miss his kicking game and his work rate.



we need to win this grand final for those boys now.



as for the selection for the play offs. i would go with somethnig like this.



Royston

Pats

Nash

Worrincey

Branno

Black

Ostick

Penky

Wrench

Bannister

Larder

Bench



Holroyd

Jonny Campbell - what a girl. Showboating an intercepted try that didn't even give them the lead, rabbit punches in the tackle, squaring up to Nash then running off, not to mention rolling around on the floor like a footballer in the past (not against us). The man does my head in every time I watch Batley play.

Bit of a showboater , I agree , but Campbell is pretty quick isn't he ?

He isn't THAT quick though. As Paul White coming off knee surgary managed to keep up with him until he fell over. Worrincy would have out paced him without an issue.



Good to see Penky giving him the beating he deserved for showboating too. It nearly cost Campbell and Batley a try.

I'd like to see him playing for us in the near future, but Rhino has got an honest bunch who enjoy working for him, so I'm not sure he'll leave the Dogs so soon.

I'm not knocking his rugby playing skills but he has poor gamesmanship which is which is one of the reasons I'm not fond of football.

All depends on whether he takes up residence in Her Majesty's residence next month.

Fark me, he's good, but no-where near getting a knighthood just yet

The good money is on a 5-7 year stretch
