I broke mine a few times. Never taken this long. Ran a marathon 3 weeks after breaking it the second time.

Seeing as this has turned into a "share your broken toe story" thread, I can report that when I broke my big toe it was a bugger to heal and there was floating bone in there I could feel months later, with my second toe it was ok in few weeks, strapped and padded. Don't know which one Falloon broke.

Brough in the 19 yes, but how fit is he? could be a masterstoke or a desperate measure.
either way, your 19 looks far too strong and experienced for us, but it's all on the night!

Before the season I was quietly optimistic about faloon having seen him previously. The thought of going the rest of the season with burrow at hooker fills me with dread

Agree! All my previous posts about us still having as good a chance as any of winning silverware this season (depending on the exact draws) I will have to detract on this basis. As you say Beau Faloon is becoming much more like a burst baloon of a signing.....very mysterious.

Silverwood is the ref this week.
If he operates as he did against the Cowboys I'll have no complaints.

The piece on the club website about the 17 man squad for Friday lists the players currently out injured or suspended.

Only one it doesn't mention is Falloon. If you're a fan of conspiracy theories, have at it.

Conspiracy/Typo....?

Wasn't Macca "hopeful" he'd be fit for the Widnes game?

Weather is going to making the kicking game - and neutralising that of the opposition - key to winning tonight.

If Brough plays, the Leeds back three needs to be on a string from tackle four onwards. Whichever side of the field Brough goes, Hardaker needs to be keeping an eye on that touchline for the 40-20 and allowing the winger on that side to to stay up in the line. The opposite winger then drops a bit deeper and tucks in to cover the kick down the middle. If we're going to pressure the kick, then we can't go in ones otherwise he'll just use his footwork to get out of trouble and then look to run the ball.

Well we have no kicking game to speak off and if Brough plays and is anywhere near on song he could kick us to death as he's done before against us. His kicking game could easily be the difference between two injury hit teams. Without Brough I say Huddersfield stand no chance tonight given the rest of their injuries

Gary Hetherington has confirmed to the league express that none will return this week vs Huddersfield, Falloon and JJB will return vs Wigan.

Hopefully Baldwinson is on the bench for Achurch.

Baldwinson is in Fev's squad for Sunday whereas Achurch isn't.

He hasn't so much against Hardaker though. Brough's better games against us since 2013 when Hardaker moved to FB saw BJB or Watkins deputising at 1, the former having had a 'mare at Headingley in 2014 trying to deal with Brough.

Hardaker's reading of kicks and reaction speed usually sees him get to kicks 2/3 steps earlier than most other FB's.
