Got a feeling we signed Lo, just to stop other teams getting him. Wasn't he the top try scorer in the Championship last year?

2 years part time, he needs tome to adjust. Minikin wasn't thrown in straight away, egodo hasn't been thrown in. Why should Lo walk into the team? let him learn his trade, get up to speed with full time training then when he's earnt his spot, give him it.

Desperate for this player to get back on the field.
Seems to have been out all season.
Any news on when he’ll return.
Heard it was a possibility for last week but that didn’t happen.
Really hope he’s back for magic. If not it’s a worry, could he be gone for season.

Agreed.

We miss Greg in just more than the try scoring department. He's easily our best back for making metres from kick returns and carries out of our half to relieve the forwards.

Also we would of scored a lot more tries this season had he been in the side, there's been a fair few times where wingers who have filled in for him, have had open space for the corner, but have decided to come back inside and bombed the chance, Greg is the only winger we have that pins his ears back and goes for the corner every time, usually quite spectacularly.

We could have had Martin offiah in his prime on our wing this past 2 month and it would have made no difference to results.the flow and speed of our play just isn’t creating much for our wingers at the moment.without a recognised fullback and Luke gale that isn’t going to change much

I disagree slightly. I agree chances have been limited, and with a recognised fullback there would be a lot more chances, but there have been several opportunities on the left wing this year that Greg would have finished due to his pace. The most recent being against Saints on Saturday. Jy cut inside with the corner begging. I'm fairly confident Greg would have gone in there. We saw in 40 mins at Huddersfield how much we missed his pace out wide, skipping round their winger with ease to go in for the try (and doing his hamstring at the same time mind)

Fair point but I don’t think we would have won anymore games.the only one I would say would have gave us a chance is hull away where turner hit touch and would have put us within a score where Greg would have scored easy.apart from that no extra points on the board I don’t think

Yeah, I'd go with that to be fair mate, but that Hull game was a 4 pointer and we'd be in a great spot just with that win extra. Small margins this year. I'm still a glass half full person though, and still think we'll be pushing for the 4 come the end. It all starts Sunday with a win against Leeds COYF

I just hope we’re still well in touching distance of the 4 when we get troops back and we can start to build some momentum for the super 8s

So no one knows if he’s back this week.
Nice picture of the boys on the field, Greg is with them but so is gale.

Only way we stay in touching distance is if we beat Leeds Saturday and Wire in a few week time. It's absolutely crucial now we beat the teams around us. It would help also if we could take 20 points off Widnes, Catalan, Huddersfield, Salford and Hull KR (essentially the bottom 5) - KR especially when we play them back to back.
