If bird and bosch miss out it be a bonus, both players offer those dragons a fair bit of fun.

Is Bosch doing his washing that day?

Nah, he's put that off to do some DIY.

No Gilmour? Oh my god, how will we cope without his sidewards run and dying swan routine? He made such a promising start to the season, but he hasn't half tailed off.

I would like to see Wheeler and Eastmond start the game. If Wello is going in for his op after the Pie game as was the plan, Easty would be the obvious fullback. Wheeler can then take Longy's spot.

Wello ISN'T going in for his op according to Saints media manager...

Well it begs the question why the hell isnt he going for it? Its only going to get worse before it gets better!

Because medically speaking, it isn't as bad as first thought. It won't get any worse with week in week out wear and tear. They plan to monitor it, and if it does get worse, then he'll be booked in.

Well personally I would have it done now before it could get any worse!

Sounds particularly stupid as its bound to flare up for the cup final or playoff run now. But I'll leave the medical questions to those in charge and abuse them horrifically if they get this wrong.

I'll trust the medical staff

Shouldnt affect it, saints win by 20+

Hmph. I'm hating these predictions.
