shame about campese nobody wants to see bad injuries, but it would appear maybe the time has come to finish, only he will know how bad it is but it doesnt look good

He's a bloke (and from what I can tell a good one) whose career is threatened by injury. He's also class player - the kick for Blair's try last week is probably my season highlight.

So I really don't want to see it end here for him. But the club does need to decide whether to stick or twist now. Even if he makes it back within a few weeks, the risk of having to complete any game he starts with 16 is significant. And you can't make new signings after the 8s start. On the other hand, if he could string 5 or 6 games together it'd potentially make a massive difference.

You have to ask why he left......maybe our previous coach took no notice of his advice?

Shame about the lad, We will have to wait & see how bad it is? I don't get all the people on here with 20/20 hindsight, It was a gamble on him with his history of injuries but he is probably the best half this club has ever had in terms of class & skill (only the great Rodger has been better in my life time) Even injured his experiance & leadrership around the squad is worth his wages alone.

I thought he left because peacock wanted a clean sweep of the backroom staff and bring in some top quality replacements he already knew?

Hasn't campese got another 2 1/2 years left on a lucrative contract? Do you think he's likely to walk (hobble) away from that?

That's not the immediate concern, though.

Fwiw, 2018 is an option iirc, and I'd hope and expect that if it in his favour, it'd have conditions in place.

If it becomes a problem, at least it means we haven't been relegated.

You're ok Jake compared to some of your associate wums but as you know he left months before Peacock arrived.

Surely he left after peacock was appointed though? And his replacements were someone from leeds carnegie and former leeds met student. Presumably peacock had a hand in those appointments?

Aye but he's spent more time sat on the crapper this season then on the field.

Terry Campese is our most influential player ...by far.....though it has to be admitted that his ongoing injury issues cast a doubt on his overall value.

Getting rid now doesn't seem to make much sense to me unless someone at Rovers is willing to stump up to pay him off and then find a similar quality replacement and pay similar big bucks for the new man assuming such a man exists ....which he doesn't.

Campo's latest injury is a 2 week job ..would you or would you not want him still with us for the middle 8's even for just a part?

Imagine being in the million pound game, our very Super League existence in the balance ( I don't think we will be) with our best player sat in the stands unavailable cos we have paid massive money to get rid.

Dykes was a great half back .......The game he played against Wakefield in the semi-final of the Challenge Cup was superb and got Hull FC to the final, unfortunately he only played a few games a season because he was so injury prone .......Is this really the same scenario that we are hoping to build our team on?

Campese is a great half back that has the knowledge to organise the squad within a game and practice game management, but Matty Marsh will make more appearances within his role because he is less injury prone ........Is this really the scenario that we are comfortable with?

Basically, we don't have a regular, consistent and adequate half-back organiser right now .......Dobbo carried us for many years ......And presently we have hundreds of thousands of pounds that spends more time on the terraces and a youngster that would struggle to get into many of the Championship teams as our option at half-back .....How on earth do we think we will progress given this scenario?!?!

And, we have just given Matty Marsh a four year deal ......Deary me, why do we insist on signing players where we are keeping our fingers crossed? ......I maybe wrong, but do any of you really think Matty Marsh will develop into a half-back that could possibly lead us to winning silverware? .......Anybody?

In one word NO but he will be a good back up and maybe become good when he is older loads of players are late developers

If Wakey win today you're going to be 7 points off the top 8 with just 5 games left to the split. Even if Campese was fit again within a couple of weeks wouldn't it make sense to keep him back until the middle 8's start, giving him a better chance of lasting to the end of the campaign. This would IMO give you a better chance of retaining Super League status.

7 points behind Wakey, yes. 5 points off the top 8. (I don't believe we will make the 8 btw)

wakey won, Unless widness implode its the middles 8s, imo id wrap campese up for them,

No sh#t Sherlock

your coach thinks otherwise, but then hes not as clever as me,

We wrapped him in Cotten wool for the cats game. He lasted a game then went pop again. When he's fit play him.

Brian Mac still thinks leeds can get top 8

Webbo got slaughtered last year for being honest in the press about Wakey's need to focus on the middle 8's. He can't be as dumb as you are attempting to portray by not making the same mistake again.

whoooooose

Whose what?

Who is on first base, second base What, third base I don't know, got it ?

Again, whose what?
