Looked like Lance was having a stormer in the London highlights.

He was. Then he was switched to hooker while Robes was having one of his newly introduced rests and that's when Lance was injured, scooting from dummy half.

We will miss Lance, in attack and defence. Damn shame he got injured.

Wheeler is a natural gifted No 6 who can change a game, one of his best performances was against the Wigoons at the DW stadium a few years back but he was tackled late and came off with a damaged shoulder.
Its just that years and years of continuous injuries has damaged his and the fans confidence to the point of will he last more than one game, its difficult to be in form on a one game appearance.
I just hope he can string 3 or 4 games together to get some confidence back with the help of Walsh, so I would say support him and give him some encouragement to keep the shirt.

Well, most of us have advocated him doing a bit at hooker at some point or the other, so I won't complain about that.

Looking at some of the plays he came up with, it seems he's picked up a few tricks for use in the middle, other than his classic early dummy which we could all see coming. He got pace, he's fairly hard to pull down, he supports well and he can do the odd bit of genius. If he improves on his core playmaking (which many say he has in the recent games) then he'll be a good option at 6. I can't see him coming up with a top kicking game, but hopefully we've got Walsh fit for the playoffs to do that.

Lance has more of a kicking game than Wheeler has!

You mean his foot won't fall off when he kicks it?

Boom and tish.

Like Walsh has just been withdrawn from the Widnes game! FFS!
Dislocated ankle being speculated by the commentators on Wish FM.

Broken leg - absolutely no doubt is the message I got

Compound fracture of the ankle - Awful, awful injury.

I've been looking at the fixture list for all the top teams and without Luke, Lance & Lomax I can only see you deffo winning 1 of your remaining fixtures.

Hull FC vs St Helens Hull win
St Helens vs Wakefield Saints win
Leeds vs St Helens Leeds
St Helens vs Warrington I'm not saying a word, I was at all those games in that run you had against us
Huddersfield vs St Helens Depends on which Giants team turns up, but should be a Giants win

Hull Win ?????? I don't think so.

Leeds will depend on what happens in the CC.

I had us down for four potential losses in remaining games.

I think those are now 4 definite losses.

to lose your first choice 1,6, 7 and 13 for the season completely wrecks the teams structure.

It looks like we will be reliant on Wheeler for kicking which means teams will just target him and take him out of the game.

Playing Wello at halfback just offers nothing. At least at fullback he offers the support play in attack

I think we will need to go with Turner and Wheeler in the halves.

Jones will need to move out to centre.

I'd agree with that but sometimes adversity brings out the best in players like when we beat Leeds with 8 first team players out. Sometimes players sit back and expect the likes of Walsh and lomax to do a little magic but with them not there they might stand up.

We might have scrapped a few wins if we had Wilkin and lance in the halves but that doesn't look like likely as only prob lance will play again this year.

I think we'll be all over the place next week vs hull and will lose. I can only see us beating Wakefield.

Hull lost both there halfbacks that played vs Castleford, and Ellis seemed to be struggling too. They're in the same boat, except a lot worse off

Is Miller playing for them still? Not seem him for a while.

He's either on loan or dual reg at Doncaster. Either way, from what I've heard, he won't be playing for hull again...

Shame we couldn't have got him in then but someone's said the deadline has passed.

The rules are as follows:



I [ibelieve[/i the bold bit is referring to the general RSCM exemption application process - no idea if it's usable though...

That's so ambiguous it could barely be considered binding!

Could we use are dual reg clubs?

I don't believe so as the player would have had to be dual registered with us before the deadline, the dual registration is done on an individual player to player basis rather than club wide.

Dual reg isn't something I know a lot about, but I believe all players to be dual registered have to be declared at the start of the season - but every team seems to have different set ups with their dual reg, so I suppose it depends what we've agreed with Whitehaven and Rochdale - I must say, I have no idea about the quality of their halves though...

I only know millard who looked decent .
