I hope not. With king, fifita and Arona out we can’t afford any more props on the treatment table. That’s what derailed 2019 season.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but this is a squad game. Wither the exception of the newly promoted youngsters all players should be able to compete at SL level.



I don’t know if your facts are true but rarely is the injury situation ever as bad as the rumour mill makes out.



So no excuses imo, certainly not at the start of the season. We can still put out a squad of 17 experienced SL players well capable of winning.



We are certainly not as badly off as some teams, most notably HKR.



If we keep looking for an injury crisis then we will find one, it will become a self for filling prophesy!



Sorry but no dice, it’s the start of the season so no fatigue, whoever steps out at HKR should be fresh and up to it, end of imo.

Well said FC.



Until anything announced by the club, rumour of injury problems is hearsay, and if the rumour is wrong, could only worry families of the players concerned.

We were sat with Chris Green in hospitality last night, he rolled his ankle minutes into the first session at the camp. He was told he'll be 6 to 8 weeks more if he needs an op, though he hopes he'll be ok and manage the injury through the season. Adam Tangata said he didn't play last night with a rib injury but would be ok for next week, though might need a jab.

Chris Green is a big loss.

Think we're covered OK for Walker though with Jowitt.

Would prefer to use Hampshire on wing as I think Kershaw has been in a rut of bad form during the friendlies.

Ashurst didnt play due to his back last night which going on thd injury with him lsst season is concerning

Can we apply for dispensation

It's unbelievable that players who came fit late last season or in close season are now getting injured

I've been on a mountain biking weekend in Scotland - bit of a niggle round the taint - unsure yet how long it will be until I can sit down; updates on Trinity TV as they happen.

Not really concerning as its what you'd expect.



I don't want to pint out the obvious here but our man CC has a bit of history for putting out the most negative slant possible at times and I don't blame him. Keep them guessing, apart from last season there have always been a fair few last-minute recoveries at Wakefield, as there are at most clubs.



I'm not saying its fake news or that it isn't all true, but then again I'm not saying that some of it might not be. Anyone who's been around RL a few years has seen it all before.



Mark Twain: 'Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated'.

The lesson we have learned from last year is not to play nearly fit players.

If Ashurst isn't ready we should play someone else.

Have we learnt it?
