Not good signs for Brough, hope it's nothing too serious, he's been a real talent this year. Can certainly see Lomax having a call up now.

I think myler will get the 7 shirt now if brough is out.

Quite possibly, Brough is not likely to have a chance to shake that off. I'd hope not though (yet), we have enough players injured or going to have to play 2 games in 3 days.

Myler is in the squad is he not?

Yep, so hopefully it wont come to Jonny from a Saints point of view. Although, he would relish the opportunity.

I think Lomax will definitely be involved in the squad very soon but I'd happily let Myler play this time, we need as few players as possible playing two games so close.

Given this match is being played on a fixture weekend does anyone think it would be better making this weekend a Challenge Cup round or moving the Exiles fixture to the round 5 weekend.

It should be a free weekend. It's not fair to ask players to play two games in a weekend and not fair on the clubs.

While I like the idea of the Exiles game the timing is all wrong. The game should be in mid season but on a free weekend by dropping the Magic weekend. All the players will have a good recovery time before the next SL round and the comp. will be much fairer by everyone playing each other home and away once. Even McManus favours this.

I wouldnt ask any of the forwards(bar Perry) to back up for the Bradford game.
If that means we get a loss than so be It.
We have much bigger fish to fry and If takeing a hit In the Dulls game means were stronger and fitter for the following weeks thats the way to go IMO.

It wouldn't be the first time we've put a reserve side outagainst the bulls at their place.

And an old Billinger agrees.

This is just going to be a daft weekend.

The only consolation is that Wigan will be just as shattered the following weekend when we play each other.
