Thats who you get from having to stoop down to catch a ball round by your ankles for 40mins every week.

Would it not be easier and potentially less damaging if they got someone to drive them to the hospital instead?

Be good for the pair of them to get a week off at this point in the season. Get them declared unfit for a meaningless England game so they can go home and put their feet up.

cynic

Where Saints lead, we shall follow

But would that rule them out of the Harlequins game as well if "injured"?
Maybe they could say their knee would respond better to some southern air !

Didn't know they were both pregnant.

How do you stoop with your knees?

If they withdraw or are withdrawn from the International squad they will not be allowed to play for their club side at the weekend under RFL guidelines.

Can I back that statement up? No

Do I believe it to be the case despite that? Yes

Wasn't like that in the good old days of Doctor Zamman at Wigan.

you bend em

Indeed it wasn't and it was often Leeds who had to face Ellery Hanley/Martin Offiah in such circumstances or so it appeared.

Wasn't the good doctor mentioned both Wigan's and GB's chief medical expert at one and the same time. No possible conflict of interest there then.

Strange ???

Didnt Sinfield kick a penalty goal in the last minute of the game and I dont recall MCGuire going off either.

So not stooping then?

McGuire was limping up the long bar stairs after the game. Think it happened when he slid into the hoardings feet first

Be interesting to see if they turn out for the Rhinos on Saturday instead!

Don't think they would be allowed if declared unfit for England.

Kind of semi stooping!!

Does coach McClennan know something we don't know (unlikely as that may seem to some): [i“When Rob Burrow and Kallum Watkins come back from injury we will have even more options,” he said. “That’s the strength we want and it gives me options to try things and change things if we feel we need to. We have got to do what’s right for Wakefield, but also keep in mind the rest of the season.” [/i www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/r ... 6340816.jp Could Watkins be back in contention before the season is out or am I reading more into the comment than I should?

He wouldn't make the team anyway if 5 of Webb, Smith, Hall, Donald, Delaney, Senior are available, or would he?

I'm desperate for him to do well as he got big write ups in the reserves and England needs strike centres, but I haven't really seen anything that suggests wow factor - perhaps I've watched the wrong games, and I accept he's very young.

He already stated that last week or week before, that Watkins would be back before the season ends as he is ahead in his rehab. Mentioned something about mid August.

He's had some mixed games but IMO he's definitely worth persisting with because he has a lot of flair and plays off the cuff which can be exciting at times.

Agree 100% TS very raw but has plenty of potential imo and fearless enough to try something different.

Good stuff - I look forward to seeing more of him once he's back.

Excellent news.

Sorry I must have missed that message. I only really follow this board, the YEP online and Sky's excellent RL coverage.



No he wouldn't for me but he'd make the team this Saturday (if available) and you never know what's around the corner injury or form wise. I'm just pleased he's now expected back before the season end after I'd written him off for the 2010 season after his injury at Huddersfield based on the initial prognosis.

This time last year I hoped he'd be pressing for inclusion by now as Wheeler was doing back then at St Helens.
