Conspiracy theories? Que?
I don't know. If they've genuinely got so many injuries, why did they loan another player out yesterday to York? Surely they would need him for their next game against Huddersfield? I sympathise with them, the scheduling of the England/All Stars game wasn't great but they had 17 first teamers for their last Super League game and a couple who played very well in the England game. It just seems more like a protest against the ridiculousness of the scheduling than them being genuinely unable to field a team. It seems a very Ian Millward moment. But if they've genuinely got around 15 injuries as claimed then fair enough.
We've only played 9 Super League games this season, some will have played 13 by the weekend. There are no spare weekends left. If tomorrow hadn't been judged a walkover, Saints would have been struggling to make the playoffs if any more got postponed.
