Thank god for that. At least with him and Gildart back, we've a couple fewer players playing out of position.

Probably missed more than any single player, even Lockers and Bateman.

By "next week" I assume we're talking about a return for the Cas game?
This week worries me with Leeds now on an apparent roll.

It was Friday when I asked him, so he is/was hoping to be back for the Leeds game

Gildart, Sutton and Faz back for Leeds. Lockers for Saints.

Maybe Burgess as well.

Sam and Mcilorum still a month away.

Think as soon as Lockers went off we knew he be back for Saints.

Will play against Saints miss Wakefield then wont play Challenge Cup Quarter Final

Difficult to argue against this, even if you are wrong about Matty Smith

Id take Farrell before Bateman 10 times out of 10.
After Williams he is the best rugby player we have at the moment because SOL only plays less than 50% of games and unfortunately ST plays even less than that.
An 80 minute full on rugby player.
If he can stay clear of injuries he wouldn't be a bad bet for MOS

I've said previously I think Farrell is our best player. His consistency is astonishing and he just does the same things week in week out. He eats up the metres, makes breaks, scores try's, sets them up and defensively he's outstanding.

He's been wasted by England imo. Playing the guy for 30 minutes isn't going to do anything. He's proven against Cronulla and against Brisbane twice (as well as in finals, semi's and derbies over here) that you wind him up and let him go for 80 minutes. He will do what he always does and give you 80 minutes of high intensity, quality rugby league.
