Looking forward to seeing the team back in action this weekend, do you think we will go with our strongest team?

Also I will be interested to see if Tomkins makes the team, haven't seen him any of the training videos and have heard a whisper he may miss a large part of the season.

Would be a big worry if so, as no stand out back-up hooker option. Joe Lyons has been there on a lot of the training videos, and there's Lewis Else, but not much else...

Think Tomkins has got a foot injury.

We should be able to get through the two challenge cup games without him, but don’t think we should be going into the league season without a hooker.

That must be a long standing injury for Tomkins as we havent played a game for a year. Should really put strongest squad out I think – suppose announced Thursday/ friday

Players don't just get injured in games you know?!

If Tomkins is injured, didn't Sheens say that Jack Owen had been playing as hooker in training?

Sheens played Owens at hooker a bit last year - but not sure he'll have much of a say on that this year 🙂

Joe Lyons has been there, Lewis Else mentioned as well. Not sure who else could be a candidate there.

Surely an area where we should be looking for a loan player, especially if Tomkins is injured or carrying a long term knock.

Been a strangely neglected area of the squad: especially as after Hood left, we had only Johnstone as a senior hooker, who then left, with Ganson, Hulme and Wood as bit-part fill ins.....

Well Jack has tactical nous and is tipping 15 stone and has enough pace to surprise at acting hb. I am sure that I saw somewhere that Dwyer was a possible but can't remember where that was.

Lyons would work hard but has to be better used running the ball, and he is a bit light atm.

 

We.ll just have to wait and see, maybe a Wire loan will appear?

I'm guessing that's from one of the kids fitness videos theyve been doing?

They were filmed a few weeks ago.

Surely that can’t be right haha, seems grossly inconceivable that rugby players could sustain so many foot injuries.

What have they been doing? Tap dancing?

Bad form this posting pictures from inside the club.  The club will release info if they want to around injuries, just because someones sent you a picture from inside the gym doesn't mean you have to post it on here.  Phones aren't allowed in the gym so also potentially getting someone in trouble as well.
