Don’t know details. And does seem a bit odd to me, but that’s what I’ve heard.

Issue is due to fact his wife went back home to have their child and when he filled in his visa he didn’t put them on, his wife applied over there so home office queried why his visa application was different this time, he doesn’t have an agent and they usually take care of those kind of things, he could get an email Monday morning saying he can play or might go on longer, wife stuck in New Zealand while he’s stuck here

Thanks dj

taai off the injury list!

What was up with Smurph?

Gaskell was quad
Wardle was hip
Think Murphy was shoulder but I could be wrong on that one

Noone said the obvious yet, but isnt this the kind of 'soft tissue injury; that bringing in bumper was supposed to sort out? Seems we are in a worse injury situation than last year, can't blame an inexperienced conditioner this year though!

Rumour has it that Bumper may be going back to Oz sooner rather than later

woolford training them like he would back in oz and not taking into account the uk weather/??


gaskell and murphy back for catalan match, should help abit

then luckily we have a week off for the world club challenge!

Wife and kids back in oz so May be something in that

Bumper back in oz, not coming back

Official statement from club - Coming back in April. Will be coaching via Skype as woolford did.

Where is this official statement?

How long is Jake Wardle out for DJ? He got mentioned loads pre season and never gets mentioned by Woolford now?

Hopefully back for wire game, clough is calf not sure when back

thanks for the update on clough ! finally know why... must be a bad calf injury that

prob come back play one game then miss the next 6 again

add farrell to the list, looked a bad knee injury

gaskell will be back for warrington game so dont think would have seen farrell again

id say three first teamers missing but getting better now

Clough is fit just not been picked at the moment so i've been told.

Well considering how much we are struggling for props that’s a difficult one to believe. English and walne missing from Fridays squad. Hewitt over Clough seems an odd one.

woolford says he has been struggling with reoccurring calf injuries but should be back in 2/3 weeks

we need him badly. been a big miss so doubt he hasnt just not been picked.

I was at a sponsors meeting last Friday and was told that Clough would be back in around 4 weeks

3 weeks is the aim, was hamstring first then calf and working with Ollie Waite over at Blackburn too, taken lot longer than expected, reminds me off when he was at bulls, was working with an external physio who said he wasn’t fit
