Another win over lowly opposition that ultimately costs us massively. Roby dislocated fingers, Jones dislocated shoulder and even more worrying Makinson with a potentially season ending ankle injury. Shades of the Wakefield game earlier in the season where we lost about five players.

I honestly can't remember the last time we put a decent side out against the Goons.

Nice drama about the Makinson injury, he was walking gingerly at the end. If there's ligament damage it might be a month but if it's just a twist he could make it next week ...

Jones is a shame as he was reaching some decent form, but we're relatively well stocked so I'm not worried.

Roby will play.

Not sure how well stocked we are. Our backline always seems to be one man down.

Does this mean LMS back to centre, Percy on the wIng

Wilkin to second row, LMS to lock, Walsh to scrumhalf

No matter what team Cunningham puts out on that pitch, they'll be a right handful for Wigan. I know some folk aren't convinced by the current entertainment value of our squad but they've got a lot of character.

COYS

Wish I was as confident as you. Didn't look good from where I was.

I've seen terrible twists ran off (there was one in the catalan game tonight) and totally innocuous twists affect players for years. I'm hopeful he just rolled it and it'll be fine in a few days, if not I'll wait until reading what saints have to say before consigning yet another to season end!

Look on the bright side, top of the league for a day, scored some good tries and everything's not as bad as it seemed a month or so ago!

Chris Hill looked at bad one the other week but he played at magic the following week.

We did score some nice tries against a pretty decent side on paper but we was still pretty poor for most of the game.

It would be nice to see us put a good 80 mins together. We are very scratchy and struggled to make decent meters down the middle last night.

Shannon made some good runs which was encouraging and Roby looked back to his best before he went off.

When is Charnock due back from injury. I'm assuming Walsh will be back for the Widnes Game. We should still still have a fairly strong side out for the game on Friday v Wigan.

Did anybody see the Burns incident, was it Hansen going in late with the elbow, thought Burns might have fractured his jaw again.

It was Hansen. He picked up a Lower back injury off that hit so im told.

I love a bit of melodrama from Saddened



Potentially season-ending yet he was walking around on it last night according to Cunningham on the website.

How good was rangi chase last night considering he's been out so long. Love watching him play.

He went OK, didn,t go missing during the match, him and Fages caused us a few problems. Everyone around us was saying we were laying off Rangi Chase and letting him run when we should have closed him down and hit him hard on the occasional opportunity. We did the usual 15 min spell of weak tackling going loose on the upper body and they were getting off loads away, we need this sorting out for next week.

I didn't think Chase was up to much to be honest. He cost Salford 2 tries by trying ridiculous flick passes instead of the simple option that would have lead to a try. Too focussed on making himself look good rather than the good of the team IMO. He did pull off some good plays at times though.

You would hope with a dislocated finger Roby could play next week. Saying that, you wouldn't find too many sports where players carry on or play the following week with the same injury. Makinson didn't look good at all. Hopefully it's not as serious as it looked, as that would be a huge blow.

Thought so, wash,t sure if the officials picked it up properly so its over to the disciplinary, Thaler missed it amongst other stuff, I thought he came up with the worst performance so far at Langtree Park, he got fantastic applause when he awarded us a penalty for Salford offside after 57mins.

Chase is ridiculously talented. But he tries to do it on his own far too much, playing low percentage plays time after time when the game situation is crying out for a bit of respect for the ball and the need to build pressure.

Like I said, he's good to watch. Plays entertaining rugby.

Heard Tommy is a bad one and will be lucky to see him again this year. I'm hearing could be up to 6 month.

Heard the same, had an op today apparently.

Broke his ankle.

So which genius in the medical team was letting him walk round on it then?

Exactly. Absolutely amateurish from the club once again concerning injuries. Our season is over, in a salary cap sport you cannot lose your best 2 strike backs (Lomax and Makinson) and still manage to win on the big occasions. Its just not going to happen.

what a joke. I really am getting fed up of these injuries to our key players.

I can't remember the last time we faced Wigan with a full strength side.

Absolutely gutted for Makinson. He has been the best winger in the competition this season and was a shoe in for England.

Let's wait and see before we consign ourselves to wrist slitting. One of the most reliable posters on t'other forum says scans will only happen on Monday - which would make more sense as some of the swelling would need to go down ...

All just hearsay at this point!

We thought our season was over last season and looked what happened. It's not ideal but someone else like Fleming is gonna have to come in and prove himself.
