Any news on their injuries? Wello's looked the worst. His face seemed to explode with blood.

It looked awful.

Maurie was apparently going for a precautionary xray on his arm.

Didn't hear anything about Wheeler.

Wellens will be stitched up and be fine. However Id give him a rest V Wakey and play Lomax

Wheeler suffered a bad bang nothing serious

Maurie has apparently broken his arm

Maurie's arm won't keep him out for that long, if it was broken it wasn't a bad one. 6 weeks I'd reckon so back for the playoffs.

Wello's is only his face, so he can play next week.

Poor bloke. I'd rest him and let Lomax in his spot.

There is no room for sentimentality in sport. It's not like he's an oil painting to begin with, so stitch him up and wheel him out, no use crying off over a cut face. He can wear a mask like players have done in the past for dramatic effect if need be.

Who are we playing next? If it's a given, then possibly he could be rested.

Wello is cute. I'd hate to see that cute face of his cut up.


Wakefield at home. Not a given. In fact, I don't think we have a given for the rest of the season, do we?

wello does get cut alot, but he's usually back next week. My first thought was maurie's arm was broken, which would be bad news. Wheels is fine, but the surgeon says the impression of the ball on his face will take some time to shift

Does anyone know if Maurie is definitely a broken arm, or is it still a rumour?



I guess the only good outcome about all of the injuries we currently have, is that all the players are getting a rest before the Playoffs.

It's massive blow if he has broke his arm as we are so light weight at prop.

"It's massive blow if he has broke his arm as we are so light weight at prop."

puletua is 2 props, btw he is in my team so am disappointed that the tries dried up since his 4 in hull. cant change cause then he will go and get another 4 to pi55 me off

His 4 tries was at Cas



How long is Cayless off coming back

Sure on the Saints website last week, Mick Potter said that he would be back the 2nd or 3rd week of August.

He'll never be 'back' in any way other than to make up the numbers.

We should look into loaning a player before the deadline. There must be salary cap room and there must be a club either outside the playoffs or outside the country who would part with a prop they don't need for a while.

Thank god I know you mean that, as it could sound rather sinister.

Let's put a smile on that face of yours

I don't think there is anybody out there that is Championship winning material. I doubt many clubs in SL would give us a forward anyway, as they would want us to be as weak as possible and in the NRL I doubt players could get a Work Permit before the Deadline. I guess we will just go with Frodsham, Emitt and other young lads just until Maurie or JC come back.

I thought Jon Clarke had had a haircut

Glad to read both Wheeler and Wello will be fine for next week, with the possible charges re Gilmour and Pryce.

With regards to Maurie, he was iced and had the arm splice on, yet at the end of the game it had been removed and he walked over towards the fans clapping away and appeared to be pain free, smiling away and gave the fans a wave.

I sky+ the game and Maurie had no strapping whatsoever on either arm at the final hooter.

On the official site Potter seems pretty hopeful its just a bad "chaulk".
Is that a dead arm in aussie slang??

Thats what I thought. If it is broken it's not a bad one. When he went off he was able to lift it up, but was compressing it near the elbow and wiggling his fingers when being told to by the Doctor, probably because it was numb.

Fingers crossed it's just a bang.
