Gary Wheeler is fit and is regaining match fitness in the reserves.

Targeted Comebacks:

Kyle Eastmond - Harlequins

Ade Gardner - SF

Tony Puletua - Harlequins / QF

Chris Flannery - Harlequins / QF

Josh Perry - Out for season

Shaun Magennis - Out for season

Keeping my fingers crossed then for some early returns.

Tweeted last night, Royce hopes to have Wilkin Flannery and Puletua back next week, no mention of anyone else

As for Ade he's still 3 weeks away, is sprinting but not done jumping/landing yet

If TP is fit then next week would be an ideal game for him to make his comeback before the intensity of the play-offs.

It appears as hough the non return of wheeler means that he is destined to play out the season in the reserves. Not a bad thing if he can make it through to the end of season without picking up another injury, the have a good pre season with a chance of stringing more than one game together next year, which is shaping up to be make or break time for his saints career

I wouldnt be shocked to see him play next week if we rest a few players

Simmons has stated that we won't be resting players from now on (which suggests he has been resting players previously!). He wants our strongest team out.

What was most notable about injuries last night was that according to Saints on Twitter, we didn't get any as a result of the match. Result!

Yep this is correct, I somehow got Ade Gardner and Tony Puletua mixed up.

I feel like Ray French now.

What? He's sprinting? Well he's coming back with a new skill. This injury has worked a miracle.

Would he get back in the team ? Unless we pick up more injuries I'd be inclined to say no.

I've never been a great fan of Ade, but he had been having a good season, just as his contract was up for renewal unsurprisingly
