I am still trying to come to terms with Knocker going.

James Leuluai has never been adequately replaced!!

heard myself that motu has had a set back and could be out for upto 3 months.

Could be a career ending injury

A little PM would be sweet !!!!

I hope so, its been a while for him now.

FFS why is everyone so obsessed with Shaun Briscoe. He plays for rovers not us. So get over it. To think we accuse rovers fans of living in the past.

Same with Carvell well done Paul for locking that thread.

These players do not play for us lets concentrate on what we have and get behind what we have, hope Motu has a speedy recovery

You do get the feeling the longer it goes on that it could be career threatening but we will see i guess.

Briscoe has many qualities that made him a fans favourite at the KC, the main ones being 110% effort every game, bravery/willingness to put his body on the line week in week, safe as houses under the high ball, a brilliant link-up with Richard Horne, and a genuine nice bloke who always did more than his fair share of interraction with the fans. Not the most gifted player in the world, but played with heart and endeavour and that's what endeared him to the majority. The fact that, if he could turn back the clock, he might have signed his initial contract offer and appears to have been badly advised, coupled with a utility player being preferred to him and the fact he's doing very well at Rovers and knocking on the international door, plus the fact that said utility player now seems to have had an extremely unfortunate run of injuries, means a lot of people can't help looking East and wishing he was still part of our set-up.

I'm gutted for Motu Tony. I have no inside information, but it sounds to me from the snippets of info we get that this is a serious injury. I thought the worst last season TBH when it appeared to be a recurrence of the previous one which kept him out for ages but it appeared that he was making good progress in the off season and was in contention for Wigan. Looks now like that was wide of the mark for whatever reason - such a shame as, for all Byrne is doing a very good job at the moment, we miss Tony's strong running from kick returns and support play.
