Disappointing but at least he'll still be able to play a major part in the year.

What's happened for him to need another op though, thought he had a similar one pre-season.

After all the media hype, the meeting with Mason may have to wait until 2012 as our 2nd and last match against Hull KR comes up early on in late May.

Radford should dedicate more time to becoming a better rugby player rather than being obsessed with trying to show what a good boxer he is.

We should cope and it is quality that we can still cover the amount of players we have out. We should take massive momentum through the season with all the players we have still to return.

He's also tweeted that he's going to be out for 4 months. Will be a major boost to have both hock and stu back in the side though won't it?

Hopefully prekky and mossop carry on in the form which they have shown early doors because we will need it with the likes of warrington coming up in the next few weeks!

Other teams moan about injuries but not wigan! We just get on with it!

Any news when ocarroll is back by the way? I mean, we could have davies and eamon in reserve (as well as tuson) our strength in depth is amazing!

On the bbc website ticker. Out for 3/4 months

Does that make you think that we brought him back to early?! He seemed fine after the Bradford game.

The rugby gods got him you see.

Ocarroll said he needs an opperation and will be out for another 12 weeks.

rlConfirmed by club - out for 3 or 4 monthsrl

I thought that. IIRC I had him in my top three as MOM on here for the Bradford game. I'm guessing the knee broke down in training the week after that game because he hasn't been seen since

Gutted about Fielden, he was superb last year and he was solid down under I thought.

Maybe he will at least be back for saints away and the run in at the end of the season.

My worry is that we have quite a few players out now and if we get a couple more injuries over the next few games then we could really start to struggle. Our strength in depth willl only go so far. Imagine what our team would look like if we suddenly lost Lockers and Tomkins.....

The strength in depth will be tested in the coming weeks now.

With Finch, Richards, the other Centre, O'Carroll and Fielden now out the injuries are stacking up. There could be a fair bit of re-jigging needed if we get any more forwards injured during a game.

i honestly think this is a major blow for us. paaaaaat it still a while off, no sign of finch yet, o carroll out, fielden out, rumours about Gleeson. Our young kids are really gonna have to step up week in week out. That is a big ask. Ifw e lose many more, defending the title is gonna be a very very tough ask. The only silver lining is that at the moment Saints, Leeds and Wire also have injury problems. Ours unforunately though are all long term it seems.
