Can nearly make a first choice side out of the injuries!

Lomax,
Pryce,
Dixon,
Flannery,
Wheeler,
Gaskell,
Eastmond,
Puletua,
Moore,
Frodsham.
Clough,

Not as bad as i thought! Wello back is a huge boost.

Are a few of these in but with late fitness tests?

I'd stick Wello at scrum half I think. Played there before and asking Makinson to play there is possibly a bit much for a young lad. If Eastmond or Lomax was fit I'd quite fancy us I think. Graham will play near enough the full 80 along with Robes and the three quarter line is strong enough. Back row and bench look a little lacking in power though.

Ten First teamers out! This injury situation is getting beyond a joke. Flannery and Eastmond lasted five minutes into their comebacks then.

This could well be a week to much for our depleted squad?

Fingers crossed and all that

Is there even a half back left in that squad, the only guy who I can see from the Saints site is Nathan Ashe , " who can also play standoff"


lol

27. Nathan Ashe
2. Ade Gardner, 3. Michael Shenton,
5. Francis Meli, 22. Jamie Foster,
1. Paul Wellens, 12. Jon Wilkin,

8. Josh Perry, 9. James Roby, 10. James Graham,
4. Sia Soliola, 21. Shaun Magennis,
15. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook,

18. Matty Ashurst, 28. Thomas Makinson, ?????

Hale greenwood or thompson could be any of these 3?????

I've put LMS as a starter at loose as Royce seams to like that formation.

But it will be a 70 - 80 minuter probably for Graham, with Perry and LMS rotating.

The pack has been holding up for weeks but this is pushing it just a little bit.

i did think that Ben Karalius might have got a call up

Yeah Ashe or Wellens at half back. Question is who covers when he goes off after 15 minutes?
