Absolutely gutted for JP and the Rhinos. He'll be a huge loss.



As has been said, Eastwood will probably revert to prop from the bench and I expect people like Lauititi, Delaney, Ablett and JJB to put in more work to cover for JP being absent.



I guess for Wembley, barring no more injuries, a pack of;



Kylie

Buderus

Bailey

JJB

Ablett

Sinfield



Bench;

Diskin

Eastwood

Kirke

Lauititi



Tough on Clarkson I know......Any thoughts on the above?



I know a few posters want Clarkson in (and on merit he may be worth a spot!) and to do this I suppose you could play Clarkson at second row, drop JJB to the bench and then drop Eastwood(?).......

Please Bluey not Amor!

Terrible news for JP in particular. However we have a strong squad with several different options and we have the character for the other players to step up to the plate.



My main concern now is that we cannot afford another key man out injured so I would rest DMcG to be sure he is ok for Wembley. We should be able to beat Catalan without him but would struggle to win the Cup if he were also out injured.

Time for some of the Ambler nectar.

No danger of that, he's struggled to make the Whitehaven team at times this year.

I see Mr Gledhill is gloating nicely on Facebook bless him

Gutted for him, a player I have always respected and its a real shame he is going to miss his big day and the rest of the season. Losing 2 props would really mess up most teams seasons and it would be a shame if it derails yours just when you are running into some form.



Regards England I am not too concerned I actually hoped he would step down after the World Cup. He brings great leadership to the team but i fear at that level he was starting to run on tired legs. We need a next generation to come through and now we have no excuses for not doing so. Step forward Sam Burgess to replace him.

He has looked the part when given the chance this season

It a shame peacock will miss the challenge cup final, it's not nice for anyone to miss the final but players like peacock deserve to play in finals as they put all the hard work in everyweek.



It's a long time to be out for a prop of his age but if anyone can come back from a serious injury its someone like peacock.



Great player and one of my fave players, loved the way he knocked $hit out of willie mason when mason floored fielden.



Gutted for him.

Big blow. Hopefully his replacement will have to really step up, as will the other 12 men on the field

As a Wire fan, the match-up between Moz and JP was one of the things I was really looking forward to at Wembley. Gutted that a real hero of the game misses this match and best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery.
