Oh for feck's sake Pete! It was only his second full half at first grade and it was a bloody derby game when we were teetering on the edge! Give the lad a break!

Wheeler can play both stand off and centre; Meli HAS played both centre (internationally) and winger; Lomax can play centre, wing and halfback; Tony P can is a second rower but big enough for prop. Moore started out as a halfback but moved into hooker.

Who was playing out of position today?

And foster has got more experience at fullback than the winger/centre makinson.

Your missing me point flower, I'm not having a go at makinson who I thought was awesome in such a high intense derby. I was resounding to the comment I made that foster should have gone to fullback.

In which your bitchy ( as always) reply was Royce don't play players out of position?

but if they rumours are to be believed Graham, Puletua and Foster are off at the end of the season

I have read the rumours about Graham and TP being linked with other clubs, but what is this about Foster being 'off at the end of the season'
This is the first I have seen about this.
Where is he linked to? (Not trolling I really don't know).

Lets not beat ourselves up too much. I would guess Eastmond is going to get a call up, stomach bug or no stomach bug, he's gonna have to play.

Megennis was out there after a broken nose and dislocated fingers, Graham has god knows what damage to his chest and Wellens had a heel injury before the game started. There were probably others, but they are the only ones I'm sure of.

There are alot of if's and but's, but how many teams can throw out a beat up last 17 and be beating an almost fully fit Champion side with a minute to go.

Can't see many teams doing that.

Rugby Union. It was apparently mentioned on Boots n All that he was likely to be off at the end of the season. I was sat next to a bloke at the game today who reckons Northampton and Wasps are both interested in him. Don't know how true it is though.

McDermott started this rumour, there is no basis in it. It was a throw away comment with no evidence, that some people have run with.

every player can walk of that pitch with pride in their performance, injuries showeds in the end though, with graham and tp on we won 24-6, without then we lost 22-0. Magennis usually puts a good shift in but came up with some shocking errors today, can't really get on the lads back though as he is still relatively inexperienced. Thought the saints fans were amazing too, sung wigan off the park even at the end. With a fully fit squad i could see a win and a good win at that when the return fixture comes around, COYS!

I got told today that the doctor was asked to look at Eastmond during a training session when he wasn't looking well. They put Eastmond on the running machine (treadmill) to assess him but he couldn't manage 10 mins.

From a very good source btw.
