Eastmond - hip injury, unsure how serious it is but he's clearly not right.

Ashurst - Could be cruciate ligament damage which would end his season.

And the worst possible news - Cunningham suspected broken jaw - what a horrible way to end your career if true

I really, really hope this isn't true, it's not the way it should end for KC.



Add to that the uncertainty of Pryce, Soliola and Fa'asavalu and it's been a truly luckless season on the injury front.

I hope none of the injuries are serious but even moreso Cunninghams, he deserves to go out on a high and he should be playing at the last league game at KR

everything crossed for positive news!

Big questions on our conditioning staff - kids get knocks but so many senior players going down can't be right...

Saints match report suggests Eastmond is a back injury, Ashurst I think will be ok, his knee twisted pretty badly but he didn't look in too much pain like a proper cruciate injury but might take a few weeks.

Cunningham, I just hope its not broken and he gets back there are 5 weeks till the qualifying weekend and 6 to a potential Grand Final.

For the niggling injuries I agree, but I'm not sure there's alot you can do about broken jaws, bulging disks, cruciate knee damage etc.That's just rotten luck.

Oh i know we have had a fair share of bad luck injuries all in one year, its just so frustrating that we can't go 2 games without players getting knocks that keep them out, the big ones can't be avoided but the little ones can and should be a lot less.

I am hoping Kyle will be fine for Cas or Wire and we do have plenty cover in the back row for Ashurst but KC's injury really leaves a bittersweet aftertaste to a good win.

Did eastmond have to leave the field?

How did KC do his jaw and did it look broke?

Eastmond left the field early in the 2nd half and didn't return. He came back to the sidelines to see if he could run, but was clearly in alot of pain. He looked devastated.

I didn't see Cunningham's injury, but they asked him about it and he didn't sound optimistic. Potter later confirmed that it was a suspected fractured jaw.

Hope it's not the end of Cunnigham and he gets to say a proper "Farewell".

We have been the best team this season IMO. Most points scored just dodgy defence but that comes when you play youngsters. Believe people we can win this!!!! You can take our starting 13 away and we'd still compete!!!! Were the saints people and be proud!!

Eastmond hip injury? Give over.

Hes a poor mans Karl Pryce.

Hopefully Saints will get their main players back and Cunningham's jaw is not broken as suspected. Like others have said, he deserves to go out on a high playing the game and not invalided out. Best of luck to all the team for the playoffs...grannyfan Cindy

Anybody got any news on Pryce and what the next course of action is? Even if we got him playing again this season, I would think that such an injury would have a huge impact on a player mentally.

Were the saints and with a full team out we would of beat any team against us tonight!!! With no injuries we would Waked super league this year!!!!!

Look at it this way...

KC - He'll be back next season, he wants to play 500 games (but keep it under ur hat, ssshhhh)
Eastmond - Hip - Back for 1st round of playoffs (he nearly came back on)
Ashurst - ACL - Awful for the lad, gotta be up thier young player of season.
Maurie - Back for Cas / Wigan?
Pryce - 2 weeks rest he'll be fine
Soliola - mmmmm 1st round of playoffs... make him earn his wonga!
Cloughy - He needed a rest anyway

have I missed anyone?

What is the deal with clough? Just rested, or injured?

on the saints site it mentioned a shoulder injury

He clucked his shoulder up in the semi didn't he?

I think so and the clubs prognosis was 3-4 weeks.

From that he could return against Cas, or as long as Magennis or Dixon can cover for Ashurst or if Sia or Maurie do make surprise returns the club may give him the extra week until the Warrington game.

I don't know, I've been away.

www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=18824 Bit more flesh on the bones of the injuries, Keiron may miss Cas which would be a shame but at least we have at least 1 home play off game. Shame for Ashurst he has impressed in the last month, I think he has come on nicely this year without fireworks but very glad its not a serious injury.
