Good to hear.

I quite like Backrow's line up. Just shows we have options all over if players go down.

Have we had any news on Walsh? I did not even see him go off to be honest.

I think the played the first half and then just didn't come back out for the 2nd.

www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/3886 Walsh 4-6 weeks Turner 3-4 weeks Walmsley - 1 week Sia 50/50 for Sunday Percival - 1 week. LMS obviously awaiting news on suspension. Hopefully he'll be back for the Cup.

SCRUM half Luke Walsh is set to miss the next four to six weeks with a calf injury but Head Coach Nathan Brown says he is confident of his squad's strength in depth.

The former Penrith Panther came off the field at half time in the win over Catalan and was on the sidelines with Jordan Turner and Sia Soliola.

"He's out for four to six weeks," Brown said, "with Jordan missing around three to four with a hamstring. We have a number of other players carrying minor knocks who might also miss a week.

"Alex Walmsley will probably miss out whilst Sia Soliola is 50/50. Mark Percival will be fit to face Leeds. We obviously won't know about Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook (Grade C charge) until later this evening."

Looks like a tough few weeks ahead. It'll be interesting watching to see how our lads cope.

2013 revisited.

Damn shame about Walsh. He didn't miss a game for Penrith last season. Comes over here and is out after five games.

That's going to make the Huddersfield game much tougher. It's not impossible of course, but it'll be like last season's games if we're not careful.

Although we're still weak in the halves, I feel we've a much more robust squad, partly because our youngsters are all a year older.

So against Wakey we're expecting Dawson to come into the centre, Richards for Walmsley, Greenwood for LMS and probably Flash for Sia?

We finished strongly enough! And we should have spent preseason working out a plan for this eventuality. I still think we (should) be looking to continue our form.

I'd rather Walsh missed the next 5 games, then the last 5 games...

yup!

Disaster!

Not scaremongering at all. I only post facts

Fair enough, I'll hold my hands up and admit I misjudged your post. Apologies.

Or it was a good guess on your part?icon_wink.gif

Ill leave that for you to judge

So we look to be missing Turner, Walsh, Percival, walmsley, Sia, Beaumont and LMS.

Sia is 50/50 to play but can't see it.


Time for the fringe players to show what they can offer
