Me too. I feel sorry for Perry, as well, though I am probably (understandably) in a minority there. No professional player wants to be injured, he's had terrible luck while he's been here.

Wheeler will always get new deals at Saints purely because of the fear that he'll go elsewhere, never have another injury again, and fulfill his potential in someone else's colours. Saints know better than anyone what he's capable of.

This is his second injury in as many years that there doesn't appear to be a specified recovery time from. That doesn't happen very often. Most players are given an estimated time for recovery. Could be some mileage in what you say.

Rush has said publically that it is no longer the policy to give estimated times of recovery and return as he thinks this puts pressure on the player and the backroom staff.

Hmm... Playing devils advocate here, that could be to take the pressure of an underperforming physio team? Its not like every other sporting outfit in the world gives estimated return times.

That's an interesting take on it and could go some way to explaining the last few seasons in which we seemed to have had more than our fair share of injuries.

How can you say that when St. Royce said that the injuries were impact injuries and had nothing to do with the clubs training regime?
