 | | Saints have escaped a disrepute charge from the Rugby Football League after Millward insisted that all 11 of the first-teamers who missed the Bradford game were injured, although two of their players, Sean Long and Martin Gleeson, remain the subject of an RFL inquiry into allegations that they backed their weakened team to lose. |
 | | Smith has no complaints that Long and Gleeson will be available to play tonight, provided Long has recovered from the knee problem which forced him off in the second half of last Sunday's Challenge Cup semi-final win against Huddersfield. |
 | | His signing would be a gamble given recent questions over Lauiti'iti's fitness and commitment, but his handling skills seem suited to the British game and he would be a high-profile replacement for Chris Joynt, who is almost certainly in his last season. |
