A saints fan told me this morning that Gidley is out too, i dont know how true it is but it certainly looks like they have a mounting injury list.

You can add Longy to the list.

I'm actually convinced you will beat us. We have been pants for a few weeks and your on the up. Particularly your mental strength since Smith should see you home IMO.

Rumour is that Cunningham and Gidley are both fit for selection but won't be picked by St Helens for the forseeable future.

I will let you all make your own minds up about that.

Cunningham has had an operation on his knee. So obviously that makes him fit for selection! Gidley is only missing this week and next. Pryce and Wilkin - all being well - should be back next week, but Wilkin suffered a neck injury last week and so that might take a while longer. Graham should have a month's holiday because he's falling apart and clearly Long is going to be out for at least six weeks.

If you lot don't beat us next week then seriously, I'd sack yer coach!

It's only a matter of time till Saints start to slide the only way is down in the future.
