ive written this poorly after reading it back and what I meant was I don't envy CC having to deal with this as in no way does this make me glad

Within reason I think I'd only play fit players in this game.
If we play players who's injuries would be made worse chasing a game way not win anyway.
Let the fit players do their best and see where the cards fall.
Then see what we can put together for Leeds and beyond.

I know what you mean but, Cas aren't in great shape either and I wouldn't want to "give" them an east 2 points.
Chester and his staff will sort out the best 17 for the job and there will be plenty of Trin fans over there to cheer them on.

I guess it depends just how bad the injury is and whether he can manage to play.

Would be another huge loss.

Liam played for Dewsbury today, so is now cup tied

But Thursday and monday are league games ! So no problem there.

You are quite right, I wasn’t thinking straight there.

No probs mate! Think these injuries are getting us all down

Reynolds has had plenty of game time at Fev.

Give him his chance at half back with Rocky and Max at FB.

No crisis only an opportunity for players to shine.

We went with a big squad, players get injured, opportunities arise and those with quality take them

Onwards and upwards!

Reynolds wasn't named in fevs squad today so looks like he's on his way back

He would have been cup tied snowie if he had played today

true

Chessie said last week he didn't want players cup tied.

Very difficult to respond to this suggestion with breaking every rule on the forum!

I chose not to...

There was so much "WAT???" in that suggestion, I melted

Did Brough stay on until the end of the game? Very game if he did its a very painful and disabling injury.

Talk about bad luck Danny would have being hooker v cas for my money with Reynolds 6 Hampshire 7 and Jowit at FB
Big ask v Cas and Leeds now big chance for others to step up win lose they will give 100%

He did stay on, and was significant in the win at the end too.
I do remember him diving in a tackle without really putting an arm out which looked strange but I can see why now.

Just watched Ryan Carmody interview, Brough having operation tomorrow. Will need wire in for six weeks, then one or two weeks recovery. That’s worst case scenario, I wonder what Danny thinks.

No doubt gutted.....


He's been absolute class since his return.
As for the squad/team implications, I think the term rhymes with clucking bell.

Of all the players to be missing, I suspect Broughy could have the biggest negative impact; pretty much everything we do that's any good comes through him, and he's back to his best in terms of being a little general - I am more than happy to eat humble pie on this one and say that signing him was an inspired choice; he's still amongst the best in the game.

My only hope now is that this is gamesmanship, and he'll magically recover by Thursday; conversely, I have a thumb that I don't use much - he can have that.

Listening to injury updates on TrinityTV, there's no way he will be playing for a few weeks.

Great. Cheers Wigan!

Don’t agree, I think a lot of good also comes through Miller although Broughys kicking has been causing a bit of havoc which is nice to see, both will be missed massively over the next 6-8weeks



That said Ben Reynolds has been playing extremely well at Fev think he has picked up MOM in 2 out of the last 3 games he has played for them, not ideal throwing in a new half back partnership but I imagine they have had been playing all of the different combinations throughout pre season - Think we may see Jowitt to FB, Rocky to 7 and Reynolds to 6.

Well I suppose Danny can't train but I would of like to think later while he's out that he could have input into Ben & Rocky ! With all the experience he has, especially with kicking the ball etc.

huh, Danny will be training, just not with the thumb

he can't twiddle it, so he might as well train
