JAMES Roby will miss the next four weeks with a broken hand. He sustained the injury in Friday's 22-20 loss to Wakefield. Francis Meli will undergo a scan on a hamstring that isn't thought to be 'serious', whilst Jonny Lomax is likely to miss the next four to six weeks if a scan reveals ankle damage.

Meli has also done his Hamstring. So he is unlikely to feature.
As it stands Saints are going to be playing kids in the semi, but even those kids are getting injured.
Lomax is or 3rd choice hooker and he is out for upto 6 weeks.
So going into the semi final Saints will definately be without
Meli
Roby
Long
Faasavalu
Cayless
In addition Cunningham may be banned.
Wheeler who would probably play left centre is also most certainly out of the semi final. As is Jonnie Lomax.
Eastmond and Flannery have mumps which is likely to leave them physically weak, and also cause them to have lost weight. They will be able to play but wont be physically upto it.
Gidley also struggled on Friday having returned following a leg injury.
Therefore i think you guys have an awesome chance to make it to the final.
The week before the semi we play Wigan which is likely to take a couple of other players out.
I suspect Wigan will do a job on Eastmond, as they did in 2005 to Long to ensure we dont win anything.

Agree totally with that opinion, looking at their team they have winners all over the park, especially that Gilmour fella
