Yesterday? Wigan away last year? I wouldn't say anonymous. "Best player on the pitch" would be more accurate.

Actually "best player on the pitch until he got injured" would be most accurate

He was destroying Wigan last year in the GF until he was cynically taken out.

Also, I believe he was instrumental in at least two of our tries against Cas yesterday and some have said he was our best player.

Could be at #13 in a year or 2 if he beefs his lanky frame up a bit. Agree completely on Lomax at #1 and Wheeler #6 long term - always have done. Unearth a #7 from somewhere and stuff Gaskell with a few pies and you potentially have the spine of a great side for the next decade.

Jonny will play this weekend.

Yea just been tweeted,no news on the others yet though.

I should probably get this twitter malarkey, it sounds useful. You used to be able to look at the pages without having an account but I don't think you can anymore(?).

You can still do it. There is no longer a search function on the twitter site itself, but if you just type 'saints 1890 twitter' into google and select the first option then it will direct you to the saints page and you can read all of the "tweets" on there. I dont have an account but I still go and read the Saints stuff now and then.

Ahhh okay, I've got the link because I use it to direct twitter users there when I'm doing a match thread, didn't realise it still worked though. Thanks!

I said that yesterday.

Maybe it wasn't his finger injury that kept him out the cas game and maybe he was a doubt all week for the Wigan game.

He had a broken nose going into the Wigan game but from what I was told the reason he didn't return against them was due to dislocating his finger.

He had another injury and saints tried to keep it under Wraps for obvious reasons.

Fair enough mate, didn't know about that one!

any idea how long Lomax will be out then?

Depends if he keeps picking his nose

What sort of reply was that? Surly my question didnt deserve such a stupid response, but i dont know you so perhaps you speak to everyone like that. I do not get as much R/L news in the south, as you do in the north, and thought local people might have a bit more info. I drive up to watch the Saints, a 600 mile round trip for me, plus the cost of an overnight stay, i asked because i have Lomax in one of my Fantasy teams. Sorry i asked, perhaps if thats the attitude i might as well save myself time and money and mileage on my car coming every week.

Some serious wrong side of the bed action for you this morning!

no mate not at all i asked a straight forward question and get a stupid ,dumb reply, thats all. Its not like id asked how to split the atom, I can already do that.

Based on reports today, the injury to Lomax isn't very serious as he is due to play next week.

I have to agree with journeyman. Is sensible debate and comment not possible?

Woah it was only a joke! He should be back this week to answer your original question.

Thank you so very much my friend, sorry if my respnse seemed over reactive no offense intended to anyone. Once again thank you.

No problem, I can see your point but it's part and parcel on these boards.

Any news on when Gardner. No frivolous answers thanks

We don't like that kind of thing

Won't know the severity until the swelling has subsided.

Ah sorry mate didnt mean or intend to offend anyone, thanks for the understanding guys.
