Looking at some of the signings of recent years ,do the Wire offer a fringe benefit of top level medical facilities & top of the range sick pay scheme ?
Asking for a friend.

Bit harsh, in the past we have signed players with injury issues, the current crop are injuries post signing. Short of employing a psychic I’m not sure what the club could do.

Holmes has ruptured his spine (slipped disc). It isn't looking good for him.

He's not even started with us yet and the injury curse is battering us.

Powell out.

I think you’ll find that should be “Powell OUT!”

You know what, it would not surprise me if it goes 1 of two ways, its either a massive success, or he gets the furner treatment and doesn't see the year out

Re: Greg minikin : Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:15 pm  

If he improves on Price's first season, he'll be a success cos we will have won a trophy. Although winning the Cup and finishing 10th in the league as Smith did in his first year would probably see him sacked, wouldn't it?

Re: Greg minikin : Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:21 pm  

At the rate our new signings are dropping its likely that many of the youngsters could be getting regular games.

Mata'autia will be a nervous wreck waiting for his injury to be allocated to him. If I was Powell i'd rest him for the remainder of the season and make him a bubble wrap suit to wear until our pre season starts. Otherwise we just start next season a significantly weaker side than this season!
