Wane confirmed today that probably out for the season and having an op today.

Also Pettybourne out a couple of weeks and Flower out for six - bugger.

Just spoke to Iain Thornley in Asda. He's had good news this morning that he doesn't need surgery. He's back for Hull at home in July.

I can confirm this. My Mrs saw him last week at Warrington College where a few of the players are doing courses and he told her he probably won't need an op and could be back in 10 weeks.

Does this new information mean that Mr Wane is telling Porkies to lull the opposition into a false sense of security.

Not according to Thornley. I asked if we were likely to see any miraculous recoveries for Saturday and he said only Faz has any chance but that's he's very unlikely to play.
