So .... rest of the season

[Tigerbeat]

Newcastle v Wasps on the last day of the season could be a significant game with a big impact on the top four finish.

Bit of an update from YBY on twitter:

"Everyone kindly keeps asking how my recovery is going so thought give you a update. At this stage all going really well my knee brace came off today and I can now rip into my rehab thanks for the ongoing support im in a good spot at this stage."

[strawclearer]

Injury update:

Ben Youngs - back for Saints or Falcons
Ellis Genge - back for Wasps
Mike Williams - out for 4-6 weeks with hamstring strain
Jonah Holmes - "hopefully" back for Wasps
Will Evans - back for Wasps
Dom Ryan - unlikely to play again this season
Dom Barrow - back in the mix

[Rugbyflanker]

How long did Ryan sign for? I'd be looking to let him go. Are there any more outs bar McGuigan,Thacker,Betts,Hamilton (have I missed anyone?)
Edit: Second thoughts Ryan could be needed now Hamilton is going if he can stay fit!

what about O’Connor?

After the match, it was reported he had bruised ribs and would be fine for Pests. Mind you - they said the same about Williams!

Does anyone know what the crack with Dom Ryan is? Is he leaving end of the season or is she staying?

Same with Hamilton, is he 100% going?

What has happened with Pakalani? In my mind I had "the next Telusa" but haven't seen/heard anything on his injury?

Yes I thought the same Wildgoose from what I had seen of him at the Waratahs he looked decent...

Thank god for Mark Bakewell he has really turned our season around and seeing the likes of Veainu with front foot ball is such a great sight!

If we make top 4 this year it will be such a massive achievement and to see Manu back making strides is filling me with hope going forward.

Had a serious injury for Tonga in the AI’s.

[WildGoose]

I'm guessing "season ending" (ACL or suchlike) - but that's what's odd, I haven't even heard the nature of it. Hope he's back next year and it isn't something truly awful
