I've not heard a timescale on Taylor's injury. The club said this week "Scott Taylor (back) and Masi Matongo (shoulder) continue their recovery from their respective injuries, with the latter now just two to three weeks away from full-fitness" which would suggest that Taylor is more than three weeks.
No idea on Jones and Savelio. They are "unavailable at this time" whatever that means. Covid related?
Ellis was rested for last night's game which is crazy given the number missing. Surely he can play two weeks in a row? It would have made much more sense for him to play last night as a pack leader then sit out Thursday's game against Wakefield and return for the Cas cup game on the Sunday.
That short turnaround next week already looks daunting given our form and the players out.
