WHILE giving an injury update, Saints head coach Kristian Woolf hinted that there will not be many changes to his squad for Monday’s home clash with Wakefield Trinity.

Checks will need to be done today, Saturday, on the injury situations to Konrad Hurrell (hand) and Alex Walmsley (leg) from the 30-10 loss at Wigan, while surprise absentee against the Warriors, Tommy Makinson, may miss the wakefield game too.

“I know Konrad hurt his hand early on but I don’t know the extent of it just yet. Obviously Alex Walmsley had to come off as well so I’ll figure out where they are up to over the next day or so injury wise,” said Woolf.

“I’m not sure if Tommy will be back.

“He trained on Tuesday, pulled up with a swollen knee. We thought that we could probably ease that for him a little bit by the end of the week but he couldn’t get through the captain’s run so he obviously couldn’t play on Friday night.

“He’s had scans on that and there’s nothing sinister there, so it’s just about being able to get full movement back and get rid of the swelling. If we can do that in time he’ll be able to play. If we can’t then we’re not going to take a risk with him.”

As for rotating the squad for a game with a short turnaround – a tactic he employed for the second game of a double weekend earlier in the season – it is unlikely at this stage.

“We don’t have a hell of a lot to bring in to be honest,” said Woolf.

“We’ve got a squad of 30. There’s probably a third of them unavailable at the minute and that’s without how we’ve come through Friday night’s game.

“So the plan was we wanted to make sure we got Friday night’s game right, then come in Saturday and see where we’re at injury wise and see what we can put out there for Monday.”
