    Default Thommo's injury - weeks or months???

    From the St Helens star it's described as a syndesmosis injury - and that "he will be sidelined for a matter of a few weeks, but more news will follow".

    Link here: https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport...ow-for-saints/

    I'm hopeful that a few weeks is possible, but the research suggests more like 2 months average, and a range of 6 weeks to nearly 4 months, depending on the nature and severity of the injury sustained.

    Let's hope it's not serious and he's back at full strength in time for Magic weekend, get well soon Thommo.

    The Mole in Aus is suggesting that Canterbury Bulldogs are after Luke Thompson?

    Every team in Aus should be after him if they’ve got any sense.
    Canterbury isn’t exactly an appealing club though and hasn’t been for a few years.

    I must say I don't fancy our chances of keeping hold of Thompson. He's the kind of player they love over there.

    Bateman's a little Jack Russell of a player and his will to win dragged the piescum to the GF last season; I thought he'd be a bit on the small side but if he's playing well and getting plaudits, then I'm not completely surprised.

    But Sutton? FFS, he was a very ordinary plodder over here. I can't remember him doing anything memorable, especially not against us.

    Holbrook said they don’t think he needs surgery but won’t know for certain until his scan results are back. Hopefully just the 4-6 weeks out.

    There's been interest in Holbrook and Thompson since last year. I think we'll do well to keep him, can't see him signing a new deal with us. That said we kept walmsley, another couple of years would be fantastic if we could manage it.

    There are worse periods of the season to be injured i suppose. Let’s hope he makes a full and swift recovery. Opportunity for the likes of Amor and Ashworth in the meantime.

    What's the rule wrt the salary cap and home-grown players?

    Isn't there a maximum value counted on the cap?

    Or is that restricted to just one player?
