wellens lost appeal - ban still stands

Please sir, Please!

Can I tell Saddened!

I'm actually surprised it hasn't been overturned. Not as surprised that Briers sent a letter to the RFL to help his cause.

Looks like Wello needs a ticket now. lol got to give the guy credit for having a sense of humour, Saints through and through, twitter.com/#!/pwello80

Could he not get an extra match for being a cheeky get!

Terrible news for us.

Normally agree with you but not on this one. Wellens has been outstanding in the last couple of games and has led the revival just as much as KC and Rush. You could see how much he was hurting after the Bradford game, he would run through a brick wall for that team. I am happy he isn't playing. Instead they will have players without experience in jey positions.

Laffranchi was also starting to hit form so I am glad he won't be playing either.

We are without Fielden, Roberts, Mossop, Farrell, Lauaki and Flower. 5 of those would probably play if fit, maybe even all 6.

We need as much help as we can get with us being so weak on the bench.

The name and presence of Wellens missing is a big boost for Wigan.

The player himself missing may not be as big but his presence is huge IMO

Roberts and Flower would be nowhere near the Wigan first 17!

I agree about Roberts, but Flower has played in every game he's been available for this year. He's certainly part of Wigan's first 17. Fielden is the one who doesn't really count as missing given that he hasn't played in ages.

What makes you say that about flower? As cherry.pie has stated he has played every game hes been available for this year and he would be in my starting 17 every week even if everyone is fit. Hes been a great signing so far.

Laffranchi missing is significant for Saints - he has been outstanding in recent weeks and has really been a leader for them in the forwards.

Wellens has been playing well and again he has been one of the leaders in the side so will be missed.

The player i am most worried about is TP who can sometimes seem unstoppable - having him back is massive for them and our forwards will really need to be prepared for him.

Think it will be a close one.
