According to Saints on Twitter, Josh Perry has not broken his hand. Good news. However, Simmons thinks he will be giving debuts to a couple more young guys (didn't know we had any left!) as there are no returnees for the weekend, as yet anyway.

TP - Knee 4 weeks

Perry - Torn Quad ? weeks

Informed at tonight's Function for Gardner

Christ, not having much luck is he?

Oh well, two of those have passed already. So hopefully he'll be back for the Crusaders visit.


How can he have a torn quad in his hand?

Fingers crossed TP back for Celtic, we'll need him for Leeds game. Perry's quad wasnt iced, hoping this is a poor joke from someone at the forum last night.

Better not he might dislocate them.



Another contact injury along with Legohead ?

Questions will rightly start to be asked about conditioning again especially as
the job hasjust been given to KC rather than a dedicated professional in that field.

I don't think it has been given to KC. I think he is learning the job rather than responsible for it.

Fair enough I didn't know that.

However the point still remains whoever is responsible.

aye, but the person he's learning it from is pap at his job!

Bring back Apollo for a season

Torn quad?
Why did he have an ice pack on his hand?
Dont know their @rse from their elbows our physios.

Wonder if Saints have been taking myprotein.com biscuits rather than
the shakes.

According to the St Helens Star, it is Flannery who has the quad problem and Perry has bashed his hip (ah bless - get the bloody soft*rse out there!).

and thats why you should ignore this info!

Although some people are questioning KC credentials for the conditioning post, I am not too sure that Appollo had any experience before being given the opportunity at Saints. I am sure that his status as a saints legend commands respect from the players & the rest can be learned from a book.

Any more injuries from the Fev game?

Are we likely to see anyone return this weekend?

Apparently not. At least, not serious. Gardner hurt his arm but Simmons said it wasn't serious. He was replaced by Makinson but I would imagine that was as a precaution. LMS on Twitter has moaned about his ankle and knee but I think he's being a wuss. However, no report of him being properly injured.

Makinson looked good on the wing. He had such pace. It would be great to see him there next season as he seems to be ok defensively too. I'm not remotely anti-Gardner but to see pace on the wing again after so long not having it was just a joy to watch.

Lomax, Gaskell, Pryce, TP and Eastmond are all due back soon. Pryce is having a scan this week which could give him the all clear to play again.

On top of that Moore is back in full training, Flannery and Perry are not serious knocks (maybe Leeds?), Wheeler was due to be out similar to Lomax and Gaskell

That is going to leave Cloughie, hopefully he gets the all clear next time with the specialist, he should be able to do most training so will be fairly swift once cleared.

I just expect some to break down on their comeback and its pretty obvious with our luck with injuries we will lose more.

If/when all are back it should be good to see who misses out.

You mention Wheeler Chris.
Any news how he his recovery from his shoulder injury isprogressing? (I still can't believe how wigan got away with that late "tackle"icon_wink.gif

Not heard any updates on Wheeler. He hasn't tweeted about his progress either.

Hoffman got away with it because he didn't hit the head or standing leg. They're the two areas of the body this season that are out of bounds. I looked that up at the time on the RFL website.

So you was wrong?

About what?
