Does anyone know what the injury situation is, to date.

Jason Netherton only has a cut and should be ok for next week.

Stan will go for x-rays on his ankle.

Vella and Chev should be available for selection next week, with Cockayne the week after but Lovegrove is another 6 weeks away.

Justin said last night that its a very nasty cut to the knee and required 2 dozen stitches, I cant see it healing in 7 days.

There were so many cuts last night in what was NOT a dirty game.

Wigan had three players requiring stitches during and after the game.

I think must of this is because of the advent of bladed boots.

I'm sure not one player in the league would intentionally go out to hurt another player.

Got a nasty gash around the knee area and needed 17 stitches, very much doubt he'll be available next week.

I never thought of that. I didn't mean that any of the cuts were intentional.
It was just a tough game.

all you rovers fans will be pleased to know that mr gene has had his xray and there is no break

Heard Galea was in for a precautionary scan too?

Every single player on the field last night must have some sort of bump this morning.

It was a cruel game with people being rattled all over the shop.

As at present injuries to Netherton, Gene, Vella, Galea, Walker, Lovegrove and Cockayne unavailable.

AFAIK : Netherton is out for two weeks (seventeen stitches to a leg wound)
Gene is awaiting a scan on an ankle injury
Vella hoping to fit for the CC following a knee injury
Galea also waiting for scan......could be a huge loss.
Walker could be back for Castleford game
Lovegrove....unsure but rumour has it sooner rather than later
Cockayne back as from June 1st.

All the above would probably either be in the starting line up or on the bench so our current league position is due to a very strong squad but anymore injuries and we could see it being pushed to the limit.

looks like both teams will be down to the bones then,cas `s injury list is

hudson-broken arm
mcgoldrick-hip injury
owen-torn stomach muscle
huby -broken hand
netherton-back injury
widders-torn thigh muscle

only netherton and possbly widders have any chance of making friday
so i would imagine our team will look something like

ford
wainwright
shenton
evans
dixon
faumina
sherwin
sargent
chase
boyle
jones
ferris
westerman

widders/massey
higgins
feather
netherton/jordan thompson

Bad news on galea as he was looking one of the form players in SL. What is the injury?

news to me fella. nothing in the the media etc so can't be anything serious

Hopefully if he's injured, it's only a week out and nothing more.

No disrespect to Cas, but, with their injury list, I think we can beat them anyhow, the Warrington game is another propersition though.

I think you'll beat warrington comfortably. They were the better of 2 very poor sides last night.

No could about it.The word is WOULD

No mention of Galea [url=http://www.hullkr.co.uk/article.php?id=183here[/url, but Chev is back on Friday.

I knew something could potentially stop us.





Hopefully he hits form straight away, if he puts in a performance like the Warrington game...

I'd like to see Chev in the back row if Galea isn't 100%.

Not to sure about that for me, I think Netherton could have played his way into the starting line up after going about his business quietly if Galea is to miss any time.
Possibly Chev to start from the bench to give us options.

Neth has 17 stiches in his leg

Sorry, I do apologise. Forgot all about it, does sound nasty.

Joking apart, while Chev has not been a world beater for us, he has not let us down. I for one don't have worry about him playing against Cas.

Could see through to his bone apparently
