The news about Makinson is horrible and I'm gutted but Roby out would be a disaster.

I think Makinson being out is a disaster to be honest. He's defensively sound as well as one of the few able and willing to attack creatively and with pace and athleticism. Both are of equal value to us in their different ways. 20 of our points on Friday were scored by Tommy. And we won without Robes on the field.

Jones for wing? Lol.

Tommy has been looking good this year and has stepped up more in attack which he was lacking a little at times.

He will be a big big loss in defence as well. He's solid as a rock.


I just hope robes isn't as bad as it looks but it's very swollen and looks bad.

I rate Makinson massively and he will be missed. Roby is on another level though in terms of importance to our team.

Makinson has confirmed on twitter that he's out for 10 to 16 weeks. So I'd say that's him done for the season.

Be interesting to see who KC goes with at wing and hooker friday. We Defo lack a good depth in the 3/4s and I feel jones leaving at the end of the year will effect that even more.

We will miss jones If he goes, he can fill Backrow and centre with ease and very rare he lets us down. He's still a young lad to which is a shame as we ain't seen the best of him.

Fed up to the back teeth of these bloody injuries...

Re: Injuries : Sun Jun 07, 2015 5:20 pm  

The Wigan match is a big game. But beating them is nowhere near as important as arriving at the season's end with as many first team regulars as possible.

From this point it's fingers and toes crossed.

Who will replace Makinson on the wing? Dawson or Fleming?
