St.Helens Head Coach Paul Wellens speaks to the press ahead of our visit to the MKM Stadium this Saturday afternoon.
The Red V boss confirmed that fullback Jack Welsby will be missing for around eight weeks after suffering a hamstring tendon injury in the first few minutes of our game against Leigh Leopards last Friday night. However, both Morgan Knowles and Joe Batchelor could be in contention to make their returns in a much needed boost to the Saints’ forward pack.
Wellens talks about being thin on the ground but that it’s just professional sport and that this challenging period can allow us to improve and respond to the adversity being experienced. The aim for this weekend is to stop the run of results the team are currently on, getting an important two points on the table, regardless of whichever seventeen men take to the field.
Following the loss of Welsby due to injury and with Lomax receiving a three-match penalty notice, Paul Wellens confirms that Lewis Dodd will be back in the team and he has never lost any belief in the Saints’ #7, he also discusses possible options for who may be his partner in the halves.
Discussing the unwanted history of losing five Super League matches in a row for the first time ever, Wellens reaffirms his belief in the team he has available and will support them through the tough period as we look to get back to what we all desire; winning.
