From Wanes piece on the website

Thomas Leuluai - between 6-10 weeks
Gil Dudson - 10-12 week
Paul Prescott and Ben Flower back in the next couple of games
Stuart Fielden - 6-7 weeks
Harrison Hansen - 4 or 5 weeks
Paddy is about another 6 weeks off

Good timing with the run of games coming up. Looks like we should have most back for the CCF (if we get there), and Dudson back just in time for the play-offs

i'm getting less and less confident fielden will every play for us again.

I think Stu will do everything in his power to pull a jersey this year. He's OOC so its not only trying to earn a contract extension with us its about putting himself on the market to show hes worthy of a decent contract wherever he ends up. This next contract will probably be the last in his playing career and he needs to prove hes worthy of it and his body can cope with the rigours of super league if he wants to make a decent amount of money

How many other teams could cope with those injuries? All of those players would be in the 17 other than maybe Dudson or Flower if they were fit.

I don't think many teams other than maybe Warrington could cope without their best number 7, starting SR, best winger (MOS) and goal kicker, while also missing 4 props including your highest paid and most experienced prop!

How would Leeds do without Burrow, Peacock, Hall, JJB, Bailey, Kirke and Griffin?

How would Saints do without Lomax, Perry, Meli, Wilkin, LMS, Puletua and Clough?

And yet we have just finished the toughest run of games we have had for a good few years and won them all!


With a slightly easier run of games from now untill the end of the season, hopefully these players can rest up and be ready for the back end.

It'd be nice to have Hansen back for the CC semi and hopefully the lads like Prescott and Flower will come through their comebacks unscathed.

I'd be wrapping the likes of Tomkins, Finch, McIlorum and Hock in cotton wool now in the build up to the Leeds game starting on Monday against Widnes.

These injuries could work in our favour. Apart from fresher legs coming in to share the load, we'll have potentially 7 props fighting for 4 (2 start, 2 bench) spots, plus a fight for back row spots when HH gets fit. Farrell won't want lose his place, Tuson is having his best season yet, Hock doesn't need an explanation, and Hughes is looking like he's settled in to SL just fine. I expect we'll see some big games from these boys at the business end of things.

TL hasn't missed a single game yet and you're taking about how well you've coped!

That is quite funny.

Fairpoint actually! But I was meaning all the injuries we have had recently in general.

Watch us cope without Tommy though
