Sounds like Lomax & Percival could be very long term unfortunately.
From Saints website : "Cunningham also said there was no news on Jonny Lomax and Mark Percival as the club will seek second opinions before making a statement."

Amor back from his ban and a relatively fit pack (I'm praying robes is fit) will keep us in most games, we just need a bit of luck with the ball to post enough points.
You get the impression our pack quite enjoys doing it tough but it's taking a lot out of the tank every week were having to battle the odds.

The fact we blooded the kids over the past few years without over playing them has really benefited us this year as we are able to beat and compete with the likes of lomax, percy, walsh, Roby, Amour and flash out. That's basically the spine of the team missing last night. Last week was another example when we only had 13 players for last 15 mins.
I've got to say, the player management of the young kids over the past few years have been excellent.
We should be OK as long as we don,t get any more injuries in the backs, when you think about it Lance can play anywhere in the back line and has been a reasonable defender as well. For me the most important player is Burns, I think he has slotted in brilliant over a short space of time, sooner than later we can give Hewitt a game but he,s got to play alongside Burns. Wellens and Jones are good deputies for Lomax and Percival, any news on Tommy Mak by the way.

A quick look at Brown at Huddersfield also shows that he brought through and developed a number of players there. Michael Lawrence, Lunt, Scott Moore (got him playing well and into the England squad when on loan from us, can disclude him if you wish), Leroy Cudjoe, Larne Patrick, Jermaine McGilvary, Joe Wardle, Dale Ferguson all came through when he was there and were playing regularly, some still there now.

Brown was just what we needed. He came at just the right time. His recruitment of walsh, Mose, walmsley, Vea, Burns, Amor, turner etc plus his management of the young players brought us on no end.
It's a shame he never had two halves in the two seasons he was here but the way he went about changing our game plan with the injuries he had was top quality
Percy, lomax, walsh will 100% be out that's for sure! I very much doubt robes will be back anytime soon either but robes being robes will prob put his hand up.
Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.
