Cartwright is a massive loss and I've no idea what they'll do at Hooker with no Bourouh so I think you're right. Over the course of a season, a loss at home to Wigan won't be the end of the world of course, but it's a shame we haven't got those two available.

The last two seasons are opening home match have been against the worst two possible sides KR and Wigan, feel for the club, 1 win from opening two games a bonus for me, Wigan a class above we gave it a go but too many bodies missing, next four matches are more of a barometer but like Jake said we need players back.

Feel sorry for Davy Litten he'd have had a run of games in the centre but was mismanaged at the end of last season.

How so?

Rushed back

Yes was rushed back and did the same injury
