It was defo a bad one I'd say it was a break ,

Re: walsh injury : Fri Jul 25, 2014 10:34 pm  

Thought the loan or signing deadline was 16th of July. If that correct you are left to play the cards you have left.

Re: walsh injury : Fri Jul 25, 2014 10:35 pm  

1,6,7 and 13 (ok Wilkin ain't a half, but he was the best none half we had)

Re: walsh injury : Fri Jul 25, 2014 10:38 pm  

If we have any sort of ambition to win SL this season we need to bring someone in.

Can't see that happening - limited options and probably not much SC space left

Saints tweeted:

Walsh is either a compound fracture of leg or dislocation of ankle according to Brown. News on Wilkin "isn't ideal" either.

What's wrong with Wilkin?

Quota wouldn't be an issue if we have cap space, deregistering Walsh from our 25 man squad frees up a quota spot (I think hull Kr have done it before)

Isn't it easy to tell the difference? A compound fracture the bone breaks the skin. I bet the people who sit near the tunnel could diagnosis it.

I think the fact the physio clamped his hands around it the moment he reached him says it all. File under very bad. Wish Luke well, he's going to be in for a difficult 6 months if it is as bad as feared. Would he be able to fly back to Australia in a couple of weeks? Hopeful go some way towards making his family happy being home for a few extra months.

"Shannon McDonnell can come in, Paul Wellens can move to the halves and play well like he has done there this season and Lance should be back before the season's out. We have to work hard and be positive." http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/4199? Well, I think this will be popular ...

I would be over moon if you took Gale on loan. Awful awful half back. It's just my opinion but he's someone who has a bit of talent, but thinks he is Cooper Cronk. Then tries the big play when its not on and cocks it up spectaculary. Would much rather see our up and coming half back Adam Brook play for us for rest of season.

Brett Kearney could do a job though. Not great defensively, but has that bit of class about him. In a good team I think he would be superb for you.

Rotten luck that your 1, 6 and 7 are all out. Probably 3 most important positions.

Can we have adam brook then instead please? You'd be doing us a solid

Re: walsh injury : Fri Jul 25, 2014 10:51 pm  

Looks like it will be:

1. McDonnell
6. Wheeler
7. Wellens

Where the kicking game comes from I have no idea, we're seriously going to struggle with game management I'd say. Looking forward to seeing McDonnell though.

With those halves I wouldn't even try to move the ball. One out runs all day long and try to score from kicks.
