Any news on him????

Only thing I've heard which suggests it might be pretty bad are KC's comments after the game and a later statement:



The Goons must be happy with this and with the Walsh & Thompson disciplinary charges looming.

To be honest the standard of RL we've dished up all year has been awful and even without Percival, Walsh and Thompson you'll beat us at a canter. As long as u defend like u have been doing we don't have anybody (maybe Williams) who could open u up. We'll be without O'Loughlin who's huge for us against Saints and Manfredi who tore u apart at your place. Still missing McIllorum and Clubb too. If I were a Saints fan, I'd be very confident of a decent win this week. I just hope we can give u a game.

Not happy in the slightest. I can't really comment on the suspensions because they happen and I've not seen them but Percival is a cracking young player and it's sad to see him get another injury. I'm hoping he's back soon because I see him as a starter for England at the end of the year.

I think there's enough doom and gloom at our end currently to not really concern ourselves with what's happening at Saints. I've never see the fans quite as uninterested in a derby. There's hardly any conversations going on over on our board and the ticket sales look appalling.

There's a real lack of confidence about the place at the minute and. Think most fans just expect us to carry on limping to a semi final before our faltering attack bundles us out in a drab affair.

Injuries starting to be a major concern for Percy now. Hopefully this will be the last, but it seems to be that he misses half a season every season.

I posted here and on Red Vee about five years ago regarding Percival and what an exciting player he was. I wonder if Saints fans are happy about Manfredis injury? The real ones won't be but a lot on here and on t'other channel will be clapping their hands.

In my book anyone who revels in a player's injury is no fan of Rugby League. I wish him a speedy recovery.

To be fair I take it as meaning saints will not be at full strength.

Yes, that is what I was trying to say; but I said it very poorly.
Apologies to anyone who has been offended.

As far as Manfredis injury is concerned, its a tragedy for him and the Club as he is a very exciting player. I wish him a speedy recovery.

To be honest, some of Saints worst performances have been when we have had a full strength team out. We don't often seem to struggle because we have two or three players missing. And I seem to remember wigoon being very similar. No reason to doubt that the game will be anything but another tough and close encounter

We very rarely have a full strength team against Wigan, when we beat them 75-0 we had injuries and benched our best players.
