Hopefully not,does anyone know when Crosby is due back last I read he had targeted Boxing Day?

I agree. It looks like Ava and Prior will be the starting props with olezjski and cuthbo on the bench. When/if Crosby is fit he will provide competition given I expect the bench to be Dwyer, L Sutty, a prop and another forward most weeks.

Muzz had a decent spell in the north east but could do with a full year at a SL club or good championship club to continue his development. Holroyd is the tricky one as I think he could do a job for us but likely won't get enough he time so will prob go out on loan too.

If a top prop is available then have four to pick from from the new prop, Ava, Prior, Olezjski, Crosby and the two youngsters is excellent. I just don't want us buying average to get the numbers up.

Ridiculous if that's the case, was he only on a two year deal, been better off paying him off, needs to have a stellar season when back.

I doubt it will be 15/20 weeks before he's match ready.

We have reserves this year don't we? I imagine a lot of these players will remain at the club but in the reserves.
In my opinion the reserves was a great stepping stone for the academy players.

Doesn`t that take him to April/May as i said

3 mths to get a new injury

Out of interest why do you think that? According to our chairman they turned down a ridiculously large offer from Warrington for him and he he has shot down reporter after reporter that has questioned him moving on, backing this up by signing a 4 year deal last year, when you think Carter turned down 175k for Kirmond a few years back from Salford - Just how much would you want your club to spend on a player that has spent the last 2 seasons with serious injuries?
