I didn't say it was legal did I? I don't think I did. And I wasn't saying it was legal in this thread either. It was late in my view, which is illegal. He got away with it because it didn't hit the designated spots for this season but also the ref didn't think it was late. Another ref - Ganson, for instance - would have considered it late.

Jeez, Pete. Get a life! I had to dig hard into my memory banks for that one. I've moved on. I've done stuff and slept much since that discussion. I suggest you let it go.

Oh, and for the record, I also think Hoffman deliberately wanted to take Wheeler out. Unlike Raynor, who I think made a careless but not hostile attempt to knock the ball out of Tomkins' hands.

The ref, two touch judges, match official at the game, RFL all thought it was legal.

It was a legal challenge.

Let's end it here, let's not go down this road again

You bloody started it. And I don't agree with you, or the officials. Citing flipping touch judges who can't spot a forward pass from a foot away is hardly giving credence to anything.

You mention Wheeler Chris.
Any news how he his recovery from his shoulder injury isprogressing? (I still can't believe how wigan got away with that late "tackle")

Sadly not, I've not heard anything since he had his operation, the club stated then it would be around 5 weeks, (on the same story Lomax was out for 5 weeks too).

It is just 5 weeks when we play Crusaders, so unless he has had a setback, he'd should be available for Leeds and if not definitely for Bradford.

I just expect some to break down on their comeback and its pretty obvious with our luck with injuries we will lose more.

If/when all are back it should be good to see who misses out.

Without doubt we'll pick up knocks along the way, its part and parcel. What is hard to accept is when is it all at once.

We should be ok with regard to breakdowns provided we don't rush anyone back, the squad has coped admirably with everyone out. I'd want us ease them back in where possible, I know that is not easy with some positions, if Lomax, Gaskell, Wheeler all come back with either start them or we can only bench one

You would imagine we are due a few back for the next 2 games.

You do pick up knocks and that is part and parcel of the game, we've just been a little unfortunate with the run of knocks and that they have all been around 5 weeks give or take. Usually you'd get a gap inbetween or varying length of injury. As luck would have it I think the Challenge cup came at just the right time for Saints and has allowed us to gain some time to get the players back without missing too many games.

I thought we were unlucky to lose the Wigan game, but fortunate to win the cas game. The draw at Hull could have gone either way and we where well beaten by Huddersfield. But with those results we've had the time with the CC which means we are still 2only points off the lead and our players ready to return.

Was told last night TP and Moore have a good chance of playing this Friday with Lomax and Gaskel a slight chance?
Leon could be back for the Bulls away game in 2 weeks?
Fingers crossed then

Well, we might get a better idea when the press conference takes place today (happens at 4.30 apparently). But I'm not pinning my hopes on anyone coming back until I see their names in the starting 17 and then I'll be holding my breath that they come through the match unscathed!

If Moore shows the sort of form he did before his injury, his return will be a massive plus point.
He was showing a marked improvement of not only ability but maturity and game nous.

Indeed. The boo boys are going to have to have nominations for a new scapegoat.

Re: Injury update - 17 May : Tue May 24, 2011 4:03 pm  

Perry, Eastmond, Lomax, Gaskell and Dixon could all return this week.
