Injury update - 27 April : Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:04 pm  

This level of injury could break our season, I reckon. Makes for a depressing read. Mods: I posted a new thread because the previous one got a little caught up in hysteria and Saints just posted this update today.

Jesus we are really up against it now. I dont doubt it could break our season but I think it will. Can anyone remember a injury ravaged season like this at Saints???

We'll be OK as long as we don't pick up anymore long term injuries. Perry returning gives us a full compliment of props, Roby is in great form as is Soliola in the back row. The situation with the halves is very bleak though. I'm pretty relieved we didn't get a tough cup draw against SL opposition though, that game comes at a good time for us.

Makinson
Gardner
Shenton
Meli
Foster
Wilkin
Eastmond
Perry
Roby
Graham
Soliola
Ashurst
TP

Dixon
Moore
LMS
Armstrong

If I haven't left anyone out then IMO this should be the team against Hull, think the changes are Eastmond for Lomax and Perry for Magennis in the 17 (LMS going to the bench.) Give Magennis a rest, played injured on Monday if I'm correct

EDIT Moore injured, Magennis to take his spot then.

Remember, Perry is only a possible. We don't want him doing a Leon. And Kyle may still have his chest infection.

Re: Injury update - 27 April : Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:25 pm  

Personally I would give Perry another week to ensure he is fit for our next Super League game after Hull FC and the Challenge Cup game against Sheffield Eagles.

Makinson
Gardner
Shenton
Meli
Foster
Wilkin
Eastmond
Graham (capt)
Roby
McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Wilkin
Soliola
Puletua

Bench

Dixon
Magennis
Ashurst
Armstrong

Probably right to give Perry another week actually.
If Eastmond doesn't make it then we'd probably start Moore at SH or look to U20's, Josh Jones is looking like a good bet having been given a squad number

However bad it is, and I admit its depressing as it has gone on for too long, I do think you are being a tad melodramatic with regard to breaking our season, if we had this list in August I'd be worried, with it only being April there is time to get a decent team back. Our league placing to date is pretty great all things considered and if we can pick up 2 league wins from our next 3 we'll be very handily placed at half way and should be getting players back. In the cup, we should overcome Sheffield if we concentrate, of course we may face a tough cup game in round 5, hopefully a decent home draw and we'll be ok. Next 5 games and potential returnee's May 2nd Hull A: Perry? May 7th Sheffield H: Perry, Flannery? May 14th Huddersfield A: Wellens, Flannery May 20th (Cup Round): Gaskell May 27th Crusaders H: Wheeler, Lomax, Moore Also now he is back in training I think Pryce is being pencilled in for a return against Leeds (great to hear he is able to train) Almost certainly Kyle will be back for a cameo then, and no mention of Makinson, Meli (someone said he was carrying a knock against Cas), forwards still strong, backs ok, just cursed at half back!

I agree.

Moore is out injured for up to five weeks.
