Well that's just fantastic going into the Wigan game. I hope Perry comes back in time if Graham isn't fit or we may struggle up front. On a personal note, I've clean broke my sternum in the past and was playing again within 4 or 5 months so hopefully if it's just a knock he'll be back soon. We all know Graham will play through the pain too.

Is that you saying that or is that taken from Royce?

Re: Wakefield Match Thread : Fri Apr 15, 2011 9:40 pm  

Lomax and Eastmond in the halves next week? I'm sure that the knock to Eastmond's ego that he is no longer first choice will be enough of a kick up the backside to get him playing again. Hopefully, if this is the case, the fans won't boo him.

Graham would be a big loss if we can't get Perry fit in time. Possibly Soiliola up to front row would be an option if we are that desperate.

How do you run for ten mins on a broken ankle? The lad is hardcore! Seriously I'd be surprised if it's broken, unless it's a hairline

That's a very good point, he's certainly big enough and pwoerful enough for prop. We also have Ashurst and Dixon who can fill in at second row. Hopefully Clough will be back too.

How's meli getting on? I'd play lomax and wheels in the halves and meli in at centre if fit

Clough and perry expected to be fit and meli is 50/50

At no point did Royce say that Gaskell had broken his ankle. He did state that it looked bad but would need a scan to see what the problem was.

Think that was on the Saints twitter page, Royce just said that it looked like a long-termer.

Yeah Saints twitter says suspected broken ankle for Gaskell.
