Saints have just tweeted that Clough has a serious ankle injury. Meli and Wilkin also have ankle / achilles injuries and are both unlikely to play next week along with Wellens who also has an ankle / achilles problem.

On the plus side Pryce has a conditioning session tomorrow and could play Friday

Who's turn is it to partner shenton in the centre this week ?

We can't move sia there with wilkin being out.

We need wheeler and pryce back ASAP

cloughy is not having any luck. serious could mean the season.
Someone tell me who our conditioner is so we can have a whip around and put a price on their head

It's a tough one coming back from long term injury. Players often pick up strains due to being out so long.

and the conditioners job is what exactly?

Just had a txt that meli and wilkin ain't bad.

thank god!

And Royce was over the moon with Kyle at fullback.

he did well

Wouldn't to carried away tho, it was only against the worst side in super league.

i agree with that, he had virtually no defending to do

if anyone needs a laugh or cheering up about injuries, read the cats game thread on southstander. puts our minor problems in the shade

Not surprised, surely we couldn't ask for a comfortable win AND no injuries

Has anyone noticed the similarities between Clough and Wheeler?

I'm thinking they could be relatives?

not possible, cloughy has (until now) made over 20 games a season, i'd be happy if wheels made 10

Clough has made six and bit this year?

Wheeler is a joke and must be released surely? I bet someone on here he wouldn't make 12 appearances this year and he's on 7 so far. God I wish I could find that thread, there were about twenty people taking me up on it and calling me a negative hater. How silly they look now.

When we were in the midst of our (previous?) injury crisis, earlier in the season, Simmons claimed the injuries were contact injuries because there was no pattern.

It would seem that there is now a pattern. Wello and Meli have achilles injuries, Wilkin and Clough have ankle injuries. This should be resolvable. (I wonder what we were like with our tackling? Where we flying around trying not to miss tackles or where we organised in our tackling?)

i still hold out hope that he's just unlucky, but im an eternal optimist

The medical team said he was incredibly unlucky with his shoulder, so that one can be classed as unlucky I suppose. However, he may still have got 2 or 3 niggles in the time he has been out from his past record.

Wasn't here to watch the game this weekend, what the f happened with Cloughie?

Came on, did some stuff, injured his ankle, went off, never seen again. Apparently it's 'very serious'. Perhaps a break?

Wello was injured in captains run

Pryce put his hand up to play but was told to wait until Friday when all being well this week he WILL play.

Original plan was Kyle Gasky 6&7 with Lomax 1 but decided to stick with Lomaskell.

Anyone there today disappointed with Gaskell? 3 knock ons as we were
Pressing Wakeys line.

Also Ganson giving a knock on when Roby kicked it and penalising Flanno for not playing the ball when he'd fell over by himself. Idiot

With a little luck it might not be as bad as first thought but with the only luck we are having is bad luck!

Not the only one. Roby - two knock ons. Graham - knock on. Foster - two knock ons (one when over the line) LMS - knock on within the first minute. The whole bloody lot of them need a bollocking for their bad attitude. Bar TP, Eastmond and Wilkin, so far as I could tell.

We always pick up injuries at wakey it is a bogey ground for us. With a bit of luck we won't have to go back there any more.

This season every ground has been a bogey ground for us, especially Widnes!
