Jesus. So on Saturday at London, we'll now be without:

Lomax, Gardner, Wheeler, Meli, Gaskell, Yates Perry, Roby, Manu, Flanagan, Wilkin, Walker.

We're only a centre away from a starting 13!

Before anyone pipes up, I knows Gaskell and Yates wouldn't be in our 17 but the other 10 would.

Quote ="Dux"Flash out for the season www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/2943'" Brown makes a strong point about the nature of how the injury was sustained and how poorly those sort of tackles are dealt with. I hope he takes it up with the Jon Sharp and the RFL.

Not sure this makes much of a difference to be honest. He was just another body really and didn't contribute much.

He brings steel and some hard hitting to what is becoming an increasingly flaccid pack. He will be missed IMO.

Totally agree, he sures up our defence when he plays.

Its a bitter pill to swallow - especially when the league are bannig Ade Garner for a bit of shoulder contact and a couple of players a week for handbags.

For anyone at the game, was contact with his leg a dirty play, or did the league get it right when they said no case to answer?

We are in deep s*it

I think he is a very good player that puts in 100% effort and will be missed.

luckily we are playing London, so we are still in with half a chance this week.

[iNathan Brown: 'We were more than surprised that the offending "tackle" was not the subject of serious disciplinary review. It appeared to be caused by the third player in the tackle in a classic ‘cannonball tackle''[/i

Too right. Nice to see the RFL looking after the perceived problems of 'shoulder charges' but completely missing this sort of tackle which is far worse in terms of its consequences.

I don't think Nathan Browh has much to complain about after his teams tactics on Saturday

Karma

We'll see how much of a team we are now. Backs to the wall, this is where everyone needs to come together.

We should look absolutely belting coming into September though. Fresh as daisies!

Classy.

Maybe it's time to drop the bombshell:

Langtree Park was built on an old mirror factory. They must have destroyed it without removing the stock. It's the only rational explanation for this utter glut of injuries we're having.

thats if we get into the playoffs.

I agree.

But we will need to put our best defenders against Dixon as he has caused all teams all manner of problems this season.

How many players have you got out a result of his tactics?

Cock

Hall looked like he was really struggling when he scored a minute later

Flanagan is solid, competitive, hard working and not without skill and will be missed this weekend and for the rest of the year. Here's to a full recovery.....

As much as that?

Perhaps not seeing as he has just been fined for having a go about the ref in the Cats game; it effectively gags him from complaining more about the illegal tackles on Flanagan and Le Franc.

It hasn't stopped him making comment about it though (see Saints website).

I was stood in our East stand that game as always and as soon as the tackle was made I said to my mate "Mika will be in bother for that" I was really surprised there wasn't any further action considering Flanagan was down for some time and didn't return to the field
