One is right



(Or so I've heard

)

Both are right
(If you ask the right people

)

I wish you'd stop spreading this rubbish about Walsh. The club have just announced he will be back next month. Give it a rest.

One is rubbish. The other is unconfirmed.

I think one is right and will be confirmed soon

I agree mate. I'm sick of hearing the other one now. The club statement should put the issue to bed.

Then I would suggest we need to look to blood a replacement, or sign a replacement for Lomax. Harsh, but that is two serious injuries in two seasons. Can he come back half the player he looked to be last season, pre injury?

Agreed, they have to use this season to sort his replacement if they think he can come from within the club.

Wello did okay tonight, but left all the kick returns to the wingers and was walked past several times. He did make one quality tackle on Atkins, but he's little more than a speed bump now.

I like Makinson at fullback, there must be a half decent outside back in the youth team?

Swift is a far more obvious candidate for FB.

Provided he gets his concentration together (and I think he will) he suits perfectly. Nimble feet. Explosive. Good hands.

Stick Dawson on the wing until someone comes available. Or Dawson improves sufficiently to make the spot his own.

Well Swift isn't a natural winger given his efforts to round the player on the outside with no room at all tonight, so we'll go with that.

Give over. He had plenty of room on the first occasion and was only caught by an (exceptionally) fast winger and possibly should have had a penalty for a high shot.

The second occasion was tighter. But I'd much prefer my wing to take on an opponent (who could miss the tackle) than go down for an easy ball recycle.

Do we know if Greenwood has definitely broken his arm? Real shame if he has.

Looked like either a break, ligament damage or perhaps a partial dislocation.

Hopefully not the first or the third (especially). Can really put the brakes on a career.

He hasn't broke it. He might be rested next week but he should be back for Good Friday.

He hasn't been for an X-Ray.
A week off and back ready for Wigan hopefully.

Wonderful.

That's great news.

To behonest I could not see what he had done. They showed it a few times but it was tricky to see whether he had bent the elbow or broken the arm.

Anyone know if Joe Greenwood is out long term?

Not long term. Should be OK for Good Friday was the last I heard.

It looked for all the world like a break on the TV. His arm bent in two underneath his elbow joint. Hopefully we have dodged a major bullet here.

Tweet from Saints:

KC says Greenwood will see a specialist this week on a sore elbow and he hasn't ruled him out for this Friday's game. No news yet on Lomax

unfortunately i think this season was make or break for Lomax.

If we line up a replacement, it may do him some good - take the pressure off (and limit his rugby minutes) whilst he recouperates and conditions himself. if he can get fit again, he'll force his way back into the team, whether it be at #1, #6, #7, #9 or even centre or loose forward.

I think Swift could genuinely make a good shift to #1, he just need to have the confidence in his own mind, I reckon (otherwise it could be a train wreck). He's good under the kick, our most dangerous runner being elusive and strong. We'd just need to pick up a better winger than Dawson - What about that guy from gold coast who looked like a Samuri?

^^^^^
Kevin Gordon?

At a push I'd go with Dawson on the wing for a season. He's by no means slow. And to be fair to the lad, he's never had sufficient opportunity in a fixed position to develop any kind of confidence.

The club must have seen something in him or else they wouldn't have purchased. No use buying a player and then not giving him a chance.

Besides, I like the fact that he's put on a few pounds. He was very slight in frame last season. And wing really isn't a priority position. The Aussies proved that years ago. Provided you have someone who does what's necessary - it's ok.
