SAINTS have named their 19-man squad for Sunday's First Utility Super League Round 16 Magic Weekend fixture with Warrington Wolves.

Lewis Charnock misses out with a hand injury but Jon Wilkin returns from suspension.

Mark Percival is still unavailable with a leg injury whilst Olly Davies replaces Anthony Walker in the squad.

Keiron Cunningham will select his 17 from:

2. Tommy Makinson, 3. Jordan Turner, 4. Josh Jones, 5. Adam Swift, 6. Travis Burns, 8. Mose Masoe, 9. James Roby, 10. Kyle Amor, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 14. Alex Walmsley, 15. Mark Flanagan, 18. Luke Thompson, 19. Greg Richards, 25. Andre Savelio, 28. Jack Ashworth, 29. Olly Davies, 30. Matty Fleming, 34. Shannon McDonnell.

Whats wrong with Luke Walsh?
I thought he had made a successful comeback from his bad injury

Recurrence of the ankle injury that delayed his return at the start of the year, a couple of weeks ago - he was supposed to be out for 4 weeks so should be back in the next couple of weeks...

Walsh has been a very disappointing signing.

Really???

Due to his injuries it has but when we actully get him on the pitch he top class.

Have you taken up some sort of parody wind up personality recently.

Luke apologises for breaking his leg and promises not to do it again.

Its not good enough, he shouldn't have done it the first time.

I'm not angry with him, just disappointed.

I don't agree with redex but he does have a point in a tiny little way and maybe could have worded it a little different.

Walsh has been top class when we've had him on the field, we look like we can attack and his goal kicking is as good as you can get but he's had terrible look with a calf injury, then back injury, then obviously his leg/ankle and the two set backs he's had post op.

The difference here with say a Josh Perry who was another who was injured all the time, is that Walsh performs when on the field and sadly Perry could never hit the heights of his NRL form.

We look awful in this first half. Defence is terrible and our attack has been awful when we actully get the ball.

Yes the attack is poor. But that might be connected to the fact that our forwards are losing the battle in the middle at the moment.

Our pack can't lose a battle



Great play by Turner. Need to try and hit him more as he's a looking dangerous.

Agreed. From what i've seen this season Turner looks more dangerous with the ball in hand.

Unusually for us, that was a game our backs won for us. Two huge tackles, one from each winger, both saved a try each.

I do think that it's legitimate to ask whether we're using Burns effectively. We looked like a team without a halfback again out there, but we did have a halfback!

I thought Sav put in a excellent stint today when we was down and out.

I wish we would stop making ridiculous decisions to go for 2 when we have momentum and it provides us no tactical advantage at all.

It cost us the home game against Hull and coupled with the ridiculous decision to go for a drop goal nearly cost us the game today. In the last 5 minutes the territory was far more important than a point or two which doesn't make a difference.

Hardly a classic performance but a gutsy win.

Both wingers came up with huge plays at crucial times and Roby was freakish as normal.

Savelio and Thompson took the game to them 2nd half.

I thought sav had his best game in saints shirt. Very mature performance from a young lad when the pack was getting overrun.

Not pretty. But plenty of guts and determination. Again.

Eight games ago the wailing brigade was telling us Leeds would finish ten or twelve points ahead.

Now the gap is down to a single point.

Sav, LMS, Turner, Roby best for me.

Makinson's hit at the end when they had an overlap won us the game.

He's been a massive disappointment for me. He should be controlling games for us especially in Walsh's absence but the buck always seems to fall with Wilkin.

Massive win for us that, possibly the biggest of the season with Wigan winning yesterday and Leeds obviously losing. Great effort to keep Wire scoreless in that 2nd half. Hopefully we can get Percival and Walsh back very soon to improve our attack.

Percy outside chance of next week ive heard. Walsh 3 weeks away.

I think Burns has a chronic injury. I think he picked it up toward the end of his first season at HKR. Whatever the case - his pace and speed off the mark is gone.

Did Saints know about it before signing him? I assume so.

Burns might not present the same attacking threat he once did. But there are few tougher competitors currently wearing a Saints shirt. You'd have to kill him to get him off the pitch.

LMS, Turner and Makinson really stood out for me in a positive way.

Burns looked like a passenger today.
I was throwing things at the TV today when Flanaghan kept messing up.
Wilkin in the first half was also making quite a few errors.

But they really dug deep the second half.

I'd say that Warrington were also a bit poor with the dropped ball too.

No a classic for the neutral, but a tough test for both sides.
