Either way no Roby and Gaskell would make the outcome of the game swing back Hull KR's way dramatically.

See your point, but not too sure actually. Lance can play hooker to a high standard and we have options in the halves (Wilkin/Wheeler) if Gaskell doesn't play.

Kicking game is a concern though, but then again it is for Hull KR too with Dobson out.

Even without Roby/Gaskell, I'd fancy us to take the points.

It states they are knocks and they are just that, knocks. Most of them will play this week, any that don't is merely precautionary and part of the 'rotation' process.

Re: Injuries : Tue Feb 14, 2012 5:18 pm  

Yeah the official twitter updater has obviously read the blind panic on here and stated that you are all fa.......

...that the fact they have knocks doesn't mean they won't play and that it's only early in the week.

And you know that how exactly? Last year we had knocks that lasted a week and knocks which turned out to be season ending, so I don't assume that knocks means something minor, not after last season anyway.

The good old reliable source.

Shenton expected to be back. No Magennis and Flanagan, Foster is a possibility. Wheeler, Dixon, Gaskell, Roby and Wellens all doubts with knocks according to Twitter.

Frustrating, Hull will fancy it !

I see twitter is now our official source for tittle tattle.

Let me guess, Roby bang to the head, saw that on Friday
Dixon bang to the head, saw that on friday - shoulder brusing from being taken out off the ball too.
Wheeler, shove to the back
Gaskell etc etc etc

Knocks always happen in RL. I don't think a knock and an injury are the same, a knock may make you feel a little sore for a few days where as an injury will impede you playing the game.

I know Royce is more up for rotation and resting injured players, but I'm sure he only means if the injury has an ability to hamper a players performace, if it's just bruising then that's par for the course.

Hardly tittle tattle. This was straight from @Saints1890, the official Saints twitter feed.

Unfortunately, last season they were reported in the same way. Where once a 'knock' was understood as a bang or a bruise, something that would come and go within a week or two at worst, the word became used as a generic description for injury and we had 'knocks' lasting from days to months last season. Hence the panic caused by a wave of 'knocks'.

Rest the likes of Roby if you wish, there's no need to play them with Dobson, Green and Galea out this side.
