St Helens skipper, Paul Wellens will be out of action for a month after succumbing to a calf injury.

"We've got some blokes in key positions that have missed games, which doesn't help when you're trying to get some flow," head-coach Nathan Brown told BBC Radio Merseyside.

Wellens has missed very few games in his career.
It won't do us any harm to give a youngster a run in his shirt.

Well well; Saddens wish has come true, no Wellens for at least a month.So; who does he recommend takes his place at fullback, I am sure he will have been planning this situation for at least two years. Let's hear it Saddo and we will see if NB agrees.

I literally can't wait to see Saddened's response to this.

Heard on the grapevine that Lomax will be 1. Don't know about scrum half though.

Wilkin into the halves with Gaskell and Lomax at 1.

Anyone know how Lomax is under the high ball ?

Out for another few weeks yet. Makinson or Lomax is the answer for me.

Well it's been on everyones mind that we needed to at least give a run out to someone other than Wellens at FB. I think the last time he was out Eastmond got a run at FB. That's 2 years ago.
