A little off topic.

I've been away for few weeks but watched the Wigan and wolves game while away but couldn't hear the commentary.

Where was perry against Wigan?

Injured. Apparently he had trouble with the top of his hamstring.

Thats all three games against Wigan he's now missed. I was big big fan of perry for a good few years now but I must admit I'm a little worried about how his first year has gone. He doesn't look the same player that was one of the top props in the NRL. It might be down to lack of games but that also worries me.

That's the risk we take by employing Aussies I suppose. I think it's possible he's finding it difficult to adjust. For example, he was interviewed after he received his ban saying that the NRL deals differently with fights. He might now not know how to be on the pitch, what with the game being different here anyway plus him having to tone down his aggression. But hopefully he will come good in time.

At least we got no injuries at all from the game against Warrington. That must be a first this season! So unless Moore has to do some rehab, we should have the same team playing against Hull as we had against Warrington. That must be a first as well this season!

I think, when he's played, he's been very good. A few to many injuries and a harsh suspension have been infuriating.

I dread to think what sort of heated debates to place between you and the love of my life after the saints v Wigan game
