    Default Walmsley cleared

    Walmsley has confirmed on social media that he was finally cleared to return to action on Friday.

    Great news. I bet he can't wait for the season to start and to rip in after a frustrating 9 months. We badly missed him at the end of the year.

    Big relief for all, can't wait to see him get it right next time and flatten Chris Hill.

    I thought it was Mitch Brown who he was attempting to tackle?

    Fantastic news, Walmsley and Thompson = formidable

    Think we should give the club some credit too. In days gone by we'd have had him back before the playoffs. They've been very patient with him and done the right thing. Hopefully both are rewarded after a really frustrating 9 months for both.

    It was the specialist who wouldn’t allow him to play meaning the club could not play him even if they wanted to. Maybe a broken arm, concussion etc. I’d tend to agree regarding days gone by, but with this one we were in the mercy of others...and of course rightly so

    That situation reminded me of Paul "Buffer" Forber advised to hang up his boots because of a serious neck injury but carried on, ended up at Salford later and stopped the Goons 8 year challenge cup winning run by destroying the wigoon pack. So if Walmsley can destroy the wigoon pack in our first game that will do for me.

    Great news...But we should also be prepared to give him more time if his head isn't quite there yet. Fingers crossed that he's 'good to go' there too, but we should cut him some slack if he's a bit quiet to begin with.

    Great news for player and club. Possibly our best 'new signing' for this season. Hope you hit the ground running.

    You would hope that the international experience those two have had will add to their development. A you say great competition for places,

    It's a pretty fearsome pack we've developed. Out of nowhere it looks like we may have one of our best packs since 2006, but that will ultimately depend on whether Lees and Ashworth are able to maintain/improve the standard they set late last year. We should have a good platform to play off in 2019.

I've said before I'd like to see Ashworth running wider, I think he'd be devastating and he has a bit pace too. It feels like a changing of the guard to me, I can't see the likes of Taia and Amor being anywhere near the team when everyone is fit.
    Taia seemed to run out of steam a bit toward the end of last season. I can see him being in the team at the start, but maybe not at the end, unless they spell him, which we now have the personnel to do.

    I still think Taia has plenty to offer. He did struggle a bit in the latter part of the season but I put that down the general disjointedness of our play as much as anything else.

    We are lacking a real tough nut enforcer but I am delighted for Walmsley as it was a horrible injury

    We are not fearsome Dux, if Alex can get back to his level pre-injury, with Thommo and the young lads we are a very good rugby playing pack.
    We need a dog, Sonny, Vila, Scully,even KC has been voted on Rugby AM hardest players in the top five of most opposition packmen, his tackle on a stood up man around the knees(cannon ball now banned) he perfected and did for many players with it. As much as I admire Robes who is outstanding, he does not strike fear into opponents neither do the others.
    We need a headcase fed on raw meat all week.

    I think Lees is tailor made for that role ... might be a bit soon for him to do it yet, mind.

    Scully's don't, and I think it will be a long time before you see one as good as he was. Also think KC was a great but we have had another great 9 since.
