Interesting where Tomkins had his x-ray.

Im not sure either are a big loss

Hampshire to perform a Matty Smith of 2010?

Not sure he is allowed, but if there were any more injuries he would get a game!

Don't know how anyone can say this about Sam. He hasn't been his usual self but he's still our best option at fullback.

We wouldn't have won the game against Warrington without him. I thought he was very good. He took his try well. And set up one on each wing by chiming into the line and putting in some good passes. And overall he seemed to be getting back into some form, I was excited to see if he could carry it on in the semi final.

but he's not a fullback

This season has been ridiculous with injuries. I've never known a season like it.

I'm struggling to name the 15 first teamers that are missing though. I reckon it's more like 9 (which is still an insane number) and 7 of those would be in our 17.

Also interesting that Lenegan has commented on it.

I'd imagine Sarge will stay at full back with Gildart centre.
Loose will go to a prop like last Friday.
The team is better with both or either of them in, big losses to the team.

I'd prefer Isa at 13 to be honest. Think Crosby is more suited to the bench prop role than loose and Isa struggles to make an impact off the bench. He's a better defender than Crosby though.

Yeah, I thought that, too, even counting fringe players like Waterworth, I don't get to 15.

There's no point us moaning I suppose. It all seems quite fitting tbh and falls in line with how the year has gone.

I'd seriously doubt us getting to the Grand Final now let alone winning it but I'm sure the players will give it a good crack on Friday. It's not like we've not been in a situation like this before.

Isn't that where Dr Chris Brooks is based? Mattty Smith was in there on a drip just before the Widnes game.

What's so interesting about the location? Salford has a sports injury specialism.
