There was little chance of us winning with him. Without him, I simply cannot see it at all, England seem to suffer the same fate as Wigan without him, he is a very rare player who single handedly transforms teams into much better ones simply by being on the pitch and holding them together. A huge loss.

If its a lengthy layoff, I hope IL sends the RFL the details of where to pay SOL's salary until he regains fitness. I don't see why we should be paying the wage of a player injured on international duty.

I would add Williams to that list, he wasn't in any sort of form and it has shown that Bennett either can see that or cant find a place for him in the side.

Bennett has elected for versatility. Heightington can and has played anywhere from prop, SR and 13 in the NRL.

Betts explained Lomax can cover 1, 6/7, centre and 9. Between the two all positions can be covered.

It seems Sean was 50/50 but ruled himself out. It won’t be a long lay off, but it does indicate what a legend and captain the bloke is.
