it cant be good for the players, but its awesome for the fans

I feel sorry for the players in a way, because it must really take it out of them, but it's great for us.

Graham may not play on Monday, took a few knocks and mick doesnt want to lose him for 3/4 games rather than rest him for 1. Depends on how he is today

I'd tell him he's not playing over the phone, i wouldn't want to tell him face to face

I would like to see Lomax play this game, think we might be struggling with forwards if Graham and TP drop out though.

I heard that Longy may be OK for the Hull match. If we have him and Flannery back then that would give us a bit of a lift to compensate for a few tired bodies.

I'd still like to see Eastmond even if Long is fit.

I would imagine if one is out the other will play.

I agree about Wello, if he has had stitches in his mouth we may as well take this opportunity to let him have his op and give Lomax or Eastmond a few weeks in the squad at fullback.

If Longy can play i'd prefer he play as we lacked some creativity against Wigan though this could be down to the quicker turnaround in games as some have suggested.

I'll be glad to seen Flannery back, more so if he can repeat the Scully-esque form he was showing.

Eastmond has a great kicking game, but longy is ageing really well, he knows his kicking is fading, and his legs too but uses all his experience to guide saints round the park. Kyle is a little too excitable, running out of the line very nearly cost us a try last night, he needs to calm down, but that will come with experience.

Give all back-rowers the week off - Clough can cover for them all the way he is playing.

All? we seem to have loads with the academy lads!

Does wello need an op then?
what on?
