Latest up-to-date Official Website thinks Andy Farrell should be back soon and still waiting on Billy Boston.

And Mark Preston is spending a lot of time with the magic sponge.

I'd just like to know where Pettybourn is, injured on Good Friday, supposedly out for a month and he has disappered

Apparently, Eddie is back this week end, as is Clubb. They have been sorely missed. Clubb is developing into a superb prop. If we can keep Clubb, Flower, Taylor and Crosby together next year we'll be strong enough up front.

Reading Waney's comments regarding JT it seems he will be playing up front so that's added fire power.I see you failed to include Eddie in the line up.Any reason for the ommission or do you not think he will not be here next season? Personally I do hope he is here next year because we have not seen the best of Eddie yet.If he puts in the same kind of performances he did in the world cup he will be ok.Just have not seen enough of his qualities yet.By the way I think the lack of updates on the injury front could possibly be to keep the opposition guessing.

I wasn't sure where Eddie would play - but I would be pleased to see him stay. Having seen him close up and personal at Bristol taking it to the Cook Islanders, I have a soft spot for him and think he could be a real asset. If he plays prop, and we have, say Sutton, Greenwood and a bulked up Hopkins to play prop (assuming James and Dudson leave us and Greenwood comes back), then with Joel, Faz and Bateman taking turns in the second row, there's a lot to like.
My money would be on Clubb being the best prop in the country in 2 years. He is hewn out of living rock.

Wouldn't it be grand if the club could turn him into that big shithouse prop we need in the style of, say, Greg Dowling or Kelvin Skeratt.

Seems pretty certain that Taylor is off to Hull FC.
Dudson is rumoured to be leaving, maybe to Salford.
We'd have Flower, Clubb, Pettybourne, Crosby, J Tomkins, Tauati and Greenwood for props. Then guys like Sutton (if still here) Austin and Hopkins. Seven front line props and three back up.

I'd like an update on Blake Green. Keep reading his blogs but nothing mentioned. Thornley said some time ago he was looking to return v Hull FC, Joel fit for the Salford game.
