Gary Wheeler is set to make his comeback, after a long lay off due to a shoulder injury, against Huddersfield this Friday. Whilst this is good news for the Saints squad, last weeks semi-final loss came at a price to the fitness of a number of players. Jonny Lomax, Tommy Makinson and Chris Flannery all picked up knocks and will join Kyle Eastmond on the injury table.
James Roby and James Graham's injuries have both eased sufficiently for them to be in contention.
The 3 absentee's mean places are available in the squad for Matty Ashurst, Tom Armstrong and Nathan Ashe
Injury List: Ade Gardner, Kyle Eastmond, Josh Perry, Chris Flannery, Jonny Lomax, Shaun Magennis and Tommy Makinson.

Surprised about Eastmond. Thought he was very nearly fit for last week's cup game with a late fitness test? Has he picked up another injury?
Good luck RU.

QuoteSihill88="Sihill88"Graham and Roby musn't have been that bad last week considering people were making out like they were on their death beds!'"
I think Graham was in a pretty bad way, given that the Beeb reported he had difficluty with his vison when he went off in the 2nd half. I doubt Graham is fit, but it's not a match where we can afford to take the foot off. If graham was gone then we would be back to 3 props again and Clough is hardly firing on all cylinders.
It will be one of those see how the match goes, if we get an early lead I imagine Graham would be rested. If not then it's going to be another hard game for him to last the full 80.
Roby had a hand injury hence injections in the hand and some misplaced passes. hard to pass with a numb hand.
Not sure how huddersfield shape up, the question is have they recovered from their slump in form or will it be an easier match than we expect.
