Tony picked up a couple of knocks, he could be a doubt.

I'd like to see Eastmond given a run out at scrum half.

TP did look like he was carrying a couple of big knocks yesterday, i think he will play very little if at all.

Lomax must play.

We have an extra day off and they have a bruising hell derby so i'd be happy to rest a few. A loss wouldnt be the end of the world after the week we've had

potter said flannery would play monday, he said it was to short a turnaround from last sun to thurs to get him back for wigan.

its so stupid having all these matchs so close together

it cant be good for the players, but its awesome for the fans

I feel sorry for the players in a way, because it must really take it out of them, but it's great for us.

Graham may not play on Monday, took a few knocks and mick doesnt want to lose him for 3/4 games rather than rest him for 1. Depends on how he is today

I'd tell him he's not playing over the phone, i wouldn't want to tell him face to face

I would like to see Lomax play this game, think we might be struggling with forwards if Graham and TP drop out though.

I heard that Longy may be OK for the Hull match. If we have him and Flannery back then that would give us a bit of a lift to compensate for a few tired bodies.

I'd still like to see Eastmond even if Long is fit.

I would imagine if one is out the other will play.

I agree about Wello, if he has had stitches in his mouth we may as well take this opportunity to let him have his op and give Lomax or Eastmond a few weeks in the squad at fullback.

If Longy can play i'd prefer he play as we lacked some creativity against Wigan though this could be down to the quicker turnaround in games as some have suggested.

I'll be glad to seen Flannery back, more so if he can repeat the Scully-esque form he was showing.

Eastmond has a great kicking game, but longy is ageing really well, he knows his kicking is fading, and his legs too but uses all his experience to guide saints round the park. Kyle is a little too excitable, running out of the line very nearly cost us a try last night, he needs to calm down, but that will come with experience.

Give all back-rowers the week off - Clough can cover for them all the way he is playing.

All? we seem to have loads with the academy lads!

Does wello need an op then?
what on?

After this week, a vascetomy

His knee.

Have saints said how long they expect wello to be out for?

It can't be to bad as he has been kicking(if that's what you can call it).

I'd go with.

Lomax
Gardner
Gidley
Gilmour
Meli
Wilkin
Pryce
Hargreaves
Cunnigham
Puletua
Ashurst
Flannery
Clough

Roby
Fa'asavalu
Frodsham
Graham

3 - 4 weeks if all goes to plan

Jamma has reported 'fit' for Monday

Quelle surprise
