Injuries already

[HaxbyKnight]

According to the report in today's League Express, the Knights picked up 3 injuries in Saturday's game. Will Dagger is stood down for 11 days with concussion, while Kieran Hudson and Brad Ward could face up to 2 months on the sidelines with hamstring tears. Not a great start.

Great, just what we need!! typical, playing in a game that was really of no value and we lose our first choice full back / goalkicker for the Keighley game and 1st choice winger for longer. It wasn't as if Hull KR took it that seriously as they sent a pretty much under strength team for the fixture.

stick Harrison at fullback on sunday , luckily we have plenty of outside backs to cover wardy for a while but as said not the start we needed.

on a positive note i thought sam cook and paul mc shane were great as the new replacement hookers and how good were the pack , also levi edwards looked like he had never missed a game,  roll on keighley sunday.

If I remember rightly,(for a change), the last time we played at Keighley, Harrison kicked about half a dozen goals and didn't miss one. Hope he does the same on Sunday!

Then didn’t play for ages if my memory serves me right

Listening to mark Applegarth in his latest interview we now have 3 players missing with hamstring injuries, why when the modern player is fitter and enhanced with modern training methods doe's this happen so often ?

So injuries at the mo.....

Brown, Myles, Brad, O’Neill, Hudson, Antrobus,Liam, Fitz, Jack ( both looked like they had problems Sunday) Taai. Law? Reynolds? are they injured, what about Farrar and Walsh? Both wingers but not involved yesterday when we had no wingers. 

Time scale for some returns would be appreciated

Reynolds myles Walsh farrar-Unknown

Browny Hip-Unknown 

Taii- Waiting on his visa

antrobus ACL-August

Wardy O’Neill Hudson Hamstring-April

Law Knee- 1-3 weeks

Heard Dagger and Fitzy both got injured yesterday 

I guess in positive news Harris is back this weekend

What do you mean Levi is off ?
Is he leaving?
if so, when, if it is this season surely the Knights would get something for him as he is under contract. It would be a shame as we have seen him through the two years he didn’t play due to injury and he is looking like a very good prospect.

If rumours are true then same for Antrobus, off to Fev  next season

Wish I hadn't opened this thread - depressed now.

That a nice way to repay the club that has stood by you through your rehabilitation...

[HaxbyKnight]

It seems ridiculous to me, that we are only 3 games into the season, and already there are rumours, and in some cases announcements, about who is going where next season. It can't do anything for team morale knowing so early in the campaign that players are moving on. Clint's message that the Knights will be in Super League by 2029 can't have reached the players.

seems to be the way , no player stays loyal , short career take the money while you can , probably can't blame them

What is equally ridiculous and frustrating is that , if this is true, yet again players have been looked after through their injuries that have lasted over the  majority of their contract and then jump ship, they aren’t the first, Pauli Pauli did the same and the half back , who coincidentally also went to Featherstone without even playing a game for us if I remember correctly. Whatever happened to loyalty?

There is very little loyalty in professional sport, from players or clubs.

It works both ways.

                                        It can't do anything for team morale.

                                        It can't do anything for the Fan's morale either
