Nope, he won't. He's in training but he still has nerve damage in his face so he is a while away yet. There is an outside chance Roby will be back, but only outside. Cunningham is being checked up on Friday, thanks to the needless injury Tomkins gave him (funny how there's been no outrage! as there was over the mythical Stosic injury ...). Dean (our centre) and Bryn may be back depending upon their recovery from flu and mumps respectively. No-one else is within a mile of returning (eg Cayless, Fas, Wheeler, Lomax ...)
We're looking thin up front so your big blokes should find their jobs much easier on Sunday. I just hope our playmakers are on form because if they are, we'll have you running around the park.
Only problem is your not comparing like for like there, Cunningham's was a punch(illegal in Rugby League last time I checked), Tomkins was a tackle (around the legs completely legal and how it used to be done in the olden days!!)
Cunningham was still stood up and as Tomkins made contact the ref had not blown the whistle so fair game in my book.
Hence no outrage but if he had punched him I would have backed you 100%
