Super league was tougher back in 2005. The standard has dropped so much it's unreal. If we can get a decent halfback in and lance back for play offs we will have outside chance

I think Wilkin is a shoulder injury that could be out for some weeks. Maybe till end of season, so our emergency stand in is gone.

It's a bad situation and there is no way out of it. Lance will be available come the playoffs, but in terms of an organiser that's it we are out of players.

We'd need a short term loan, but whether we have the space is one thing, also is there not a time limit for getting in last minute options, to stop the Andrew Johns scenario that Warrington used some years ago.

Lance and Wheeler are probably the only feasible combination outside of a loan. Assuming they both make it to the playoffs

I'm depressed with Walsh injury. I'm going to have a drink of water, have a pee and go bed

I would of taken a heavy defeat and a fit Walsh. In fact I would take a 4th place and a fit Walsh heading into the playoffs. Like I said in the opening post, Mr Wheeler time to earn your corn.

I would be over moon if you took Gale on loan. Awful awful half back. It's just my opinion but he's someone who has a bit of talent, but thinks he is Cooper Cronk. Then tries the big play when its not on and cocks it up spectaculary. Would much rather see our up and coming half back Adam Brook play for us for rest of season.

Brett Kearney could do a job though. Not great defensively, but has that bit of class about him. In a good team I think he would be superb for you.

Rotten luck that your 1, 6 and 7 are all out. Probably 3 most important positions.

It was defo a bad one I'd say it was a break ,

Thought the loan or signing deadline was 16th of July. If that correct you are left to play the cards you have left.

1,6,7 and 13 (ok Wilkin ain't a half, but he was the best none half we had)

If we have any sort of ambition to win SL this season we need to bring someone in.

Can't see that happening - limited options and probably not much SC space left

I think the fact the physio clamped his hands around it the moment he reached him says it all. File under very bad. Wish Luke well, he's going to be in for a difficult 6 months if it is as bad as feared. Would he be able to fly back to Australia in a couple of weeks? Hopeful go some way towards making his family happy being home for a few extra months.

"Shannon McDonnell can come in, Paul Wellens can move to the halves and play well like he has done there this season and Lance should be back before the season's out. We have to work hard and be positive." www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/4199? Well, I think this will be popular ...

Can we have adam brook then instead please? You'd be doing us a solid

Looks like it will be:

1. McDonnell
6. Wheeler
7. Wellens

Where the kicking game comes from I have no idea, we're seriously going to struggle with game management I'd say. Looking forward to seeing McDonnell though.
