Not the best news,Also i heard Menzie played the 2nd half with a broken cheekbone and Groom looked as though he went off inujured. Blow to Eagles as top pair ruled out for season By James Collins Rugby League FULL-BACK Jonny Woodcock and prop forward Jack Howieson face being ruled out for the rest of the season for Sheffield Eagles. Woodcock is to have surgery on a knee injury and club captain Howieson is expected to learn that he needs an operation on a bicep injury. The loss of two senior players with more than half the season to go cast a shadow over the Eagles 64-24 win against Whitehaven at the weekend. "You don't want to lose big players midway through the season but I'm not going to moan, in this game we accept injuries," said coach Mark Aston. "People will come in and it's up to them to take their chance and do a job for the team." Woodcock, 29, is facing his longest injury lay-off since he started playing rugby as an eight-year-old. He injured the knee at Barrow last month and had hoped to be back in six weeks. "I can't believe it. My rehab seemed to be going all right but there was something not quite right," he said. I went to see a knee specialist - and he's pretty sure it's my cruciate ligament. I go for an operation next Tuesday. "The best-case scenario is three to four month,s the worst is six months. So I'm going into the operation 'blind' not knowing the outcome." Woodcock, a teacher in Brinsworth, Rotherham, is in his fifth season with the Eagles. In 107 games the goal-kicking full-back has scored 918 points. Howieson, the club's longest serving player and in his testimonial season, faces surgery on a bicep he damaged two games ago." |

Its a pity we've lost these especially as weve just found some form. Hopefully the depth of the squad will carry us through, but we probably need to think about some signings to cover. |

Mitch will be back for the Batley game so he can kick goals in the half he plays in. |

He has kicked before but he's just not very good in all honesty, certainly nowhere near good enough to be a regular goal kicker. |
