Ouchie. 3 months is not good.

Like our attack has been really firing of late anyway.

Agree though about keeping Senior and Hall together

That's a shame because i reckon him and Delaney would of been a good combination for us out on the right.
Looks like someone else will get the chance to impress whilst he's absent which if Delaney is fit will be Watkins imo.

FFS, I hope he was giving you some bull Frosties!!

Losing Scotty for 3 months will really kill us. Massively underated for his defence. Watkins will have to pair up with Delaney for time being, and really must take his chance.

No club self interest there, no siree bob.

It was all the fault of those nasty Leeds players, nothing to do with a poorly coached and game-planned England squeezing their entire defensive line into one half of the pitch at all.

yet it was Briscoe that the coach subbed at half time, leading to a far better looking defence in the 2nd half on that side. Go figure.

Wasn't that the game where Mcnamara was in charge all week?

With Donald out for 3 months then, surely we should look to recall BJB?

Agreed.

Don't need to saw it with my own eyes as i was at the game, and everybody who sat near us felt Briscoe was made the scapegoat and the real problem was Mcguire

You are talking about the most potent attacking player in the NRL who does this to the best defences in the toughest league in either code of rugby - sometimes no matter what you do it simply isn't sufficient.

The Aussies are so far ahead of England you could put whoever you wanted and Inglis would still do the same - the last 20 minutes in the final was the same as the first 20 minutes in the game at the JJB - the Aussies just upped their game and points came flooding - different defensive structure, different personnel, same result.

I hope we had the foresight for a recall clause

I am not sure how this would work. Is it better to recall a player, (who is getting first team experience in his chosen position to play in a position that he is not being lined up to play in in the future), or stick with a kid who may well play that position in the future?

I would be incredibly surprised if we don’t.

According to the currently not posting Lord Percy, sending someone on a year's loan allows for immediate recall at any time. If you send them for a month, they are gone for that whole month, whatever happens.

You cannot be recalled in the 1st 28 days

I wonder what date that goes from? The start of the season?

When Delaney is fit BJB will get no first team games. Leave him where he is for now.

I dont see the need to recall bjb at this time when we have cover in coady and watkins. We have seen what watkins can do and coady, whilst not very fast, has looked very solid to me and thats all we need at this stage of the season imo

12 weeks out. Could be back for Bradford away on 23rd of May or the potential Challenge Cup quarter final the weekend after. if not it'll be Wakefield game at home at the start of the June

These things happen in sport.

I can't help thinking that the old maxim of 'one season too few rather than one season too many' could/should have been applied when Donald's contract was up for renewal last season. There is a certain irony that the player who may have taken his place in the squad was the one making the tackle on Friday that inadvertently caused the injury.

looks like there will be a few places vacant next year .could this be the start of the break up of this great squad?

There's also a certain irony that the player making the tackle did nothing else of note in the game to make anyone think he was a better prospect than Donald, despite some moron crediting him with Talau's try.

Or taking an optimistic view, not like me I know, the evolution or transition into the next great era?
I always understood that the time to change or develop new products is when the existing successful ones are still at the top, surely a sports club should be no different.
It may pain some on here but look at how Man U have got rid of winning players & replaced them with as good or arguably better ones to continued success.
Sentiment in sport is the enemy. Stagnation not change brings teams down.

My thoughts exactly, I saw nothing in Broughton's performance that made me think we should have kept him.
Unlike when we let Jimmy Lowes go.
