I seen Meli near Rainford bypass yesterday pushing a pram walking fine so hopefully it's not too bad.

Has he been nicking spuds again!

Ankle ligament damage. Best to get those injuries right, otherwise he could make it alot worse.

1. Paul Wellens, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Matt Gidley, 19. Chris Dean, 30. Jamie Foster / 24. Lomax, 6. Leon Pryce, 16. Scott Moore, 15. Bryn Hargreaves, 9. Keiron Cunningham, 10. James Graham, 11. Tony Puletua, 17. Paul Clough, 13. Chris Flannery. SUBS: 14. James Roby, 18. Matty Ashurst, , 22. Andrew Dixon, 8. Nick Fozzard

Lomax or Foster on the wing to kick goals.

I don't think Foster has done anything to deserve to be dropped, I'd keep him in.

Surely they'll keep him in for his goal kicking as long as Kyle's missing?

That too.

I can see why young players are dropped for established first teamers, but I don't see why they should be dropped for other young players unless those players are exceptional, and Lomax isn't.

Foster should not be dropped. If Gardner, Meli and Foster were all available, then Gardner would miss out for me. Fosters playing pretty well, as is Meli so Gardner shouldn't get in the side. Unfortunately though, Meli must have picked up a knock.

I don't agree - Gardner scored 4 tries in his last game before his injury and played extremely well. Should be back in the team if fit.

I would also have back gardner to stop K Pryce for that try last week. He was never bothered by the volcano's superior physicality.

He did and he played well. However, his injury is someone else's gain. Foster got Man of the match against Wigan and shouldn't be dropped for that, Meli also had a very good game so shouldn't be dropped. Unfortunately for him he got injured, and someone else has come in and done a pretty good job and shouldn't be dropped.

He did, but he clearly wasn't MOM. He finished the sort of walk in try Ade trades in and took a good catch. He also got walked over for a try and fluffed a penalty to touch that could have cost us big time.

Gardner had a couple of good games before his injury and is our best bet on the wing IMO. Lets' not get carried away with Foster - he is a young, reserve winger whose shaky moments have outnumbered his good ones. Gardner is our first choice and his form immediately before injury justifies that.

Next time he has a shocker, by all means bring Foster in. But Gardner scored some tries before his injury that Foster wouldn't have managed IMO.
