Strange to drop him for several weeks and risk him being well off the pace then.

Obviously JM is much more aware of players fitness to play and will select the team he thinks is best for the job, but the bench against Catalans was very weak, unfathomably so.

Makka got some serious personal problems in his life at the moment, ones that are not for on here so I guess this should be locked before somebody pops up and posts them!!

God knows but it stinks.

Hmm, maybe someone should pay him a visit and find out?

Hadn't read this before posting - if this is why he's not playing then fair dues and no offence intended (I'd assumed his absence was down to Justin).

I agree its not for people to talk about on here, he didn't play at the weekend for a reason. i hope we see him playing again soon

League Weekly offered an explanation for this week's absence.

Apparently "...there is a problem with passports for the Papua new Guinea lads and getting them back into the UK."
