Did he end up having an op?

From twittor@Saints1890'

So you guy's are missing Puletua but no one else?

We're missing Richards but other than that should be at full strength. Prescott hurt is back in training and wasn't risked against Ull KR, but should hopefully be back this week.

It should be a significantly stronger Wigan pack that takes to the field this week compared to when the sides last met.

What's he suffering from?

Lower leg sustained at Cas easter monday, but he's back in training since last week.

I've given up on Wheeler now.

I spoke to a saints official last year before the playoff game against wigan and his opinion was that wheeler does not do enough to help himself recover from injuries. He used the term "not professional"......

I gave up on him many moons ago. He should never have got another contract.

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?
