No doubt the next team we beat (cough* Harlequins) will whinge about all the injuries they have been suffering.

This has got to be the worst run of injuries at Leeds for ages.

Its a blow especially for the Challenge Cup, but an opportunity for a fringe player to make their mark.

Glad we have a big squad this season, otherwise we may have had to moan on about it like Hull fans

Maybe with Greg carrying so much weight the pressure on his wrists everytime he falls must be huge?

The pressure on his wrist is probably considerably less than the strain you apply to yours.

Is it the same wrist that he damaged in the Tri-Nations?
If so it would suggest that there may be a serious weakness there which IMV would be a worry. Harder to protect I'd have thought than a forearm say, eg Fozzard.

Real shame because he's started well for us

Is the club rushing back people with injuries too soon?
We had Delaney, now Eastwood & Webb still looks under par to me as if still carrying some sort of injury.
Could this be a down side to a large squad where players are declaring themselves fit for fear of losing their place in the starting 17?
Or the club forcing the big names back too soon especially for the WCC?

It will be interesting to see if they hand out the number 27 jersey to someone over his injury period or whether they will just be one short on the 25 first team squad?

I would like to Amor given a game or two .
We also have Pitts who should be given a chance now that Eastwood is out.

Re: major blow for Greg! : Fri Mar 12, 2010 1:56 pm  

Plenty of depth in the pack.

Young Pitts can keep his place this week.

I too would like to see Amor get a run, of only for his comedy hairdoo.
