Graham Out Of 19 Man Squad

9th Sep 2009, 1:55pm

ST HELENS have announced their 19-man squad for the Super League Round 27 home clash with Catalans Dragons on Friday September 11, 2009 at the GPW Recruitment Stadium.

 

The 19 originally contained James Graham - but he has now been withdrawn due to the injury sustained in the chicken wing incident against Leeds at Headingley.

 

A Saints Spokesman said: “The medical team have been working hard to get James Graham right for this weekend’s game but he will be unavailable.

 

“He has damaged his rotator cuff tendon in his left shoulder which is causing more instability in the joint. This is a direct result of the chicken wing tackle.”

 

Mick Potter will therefore choose from:

 

1. Paul Wellens, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Matt Gidley, 5. Francis Meli, 6. Leon Pryce, 7. Sean Long, 9. Keiron Cunningham, 11. Lee Gilmour, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Chris Flannery, 14. James Roby, 15. Bryn Hargreaves, 16. Tony Puletua, 17. Paul Clough, 18. Kyle Eastmond, 23. Maurie Fa’asavalu, 24. Andrew Dixon, 28. Matty Ashurst, 31. Jake Emmitt.

 

Catalans’ Head Coach, Kevin Walters, will choose from:

 

1. Clint Greenshields, 4. Adam Mogg, 5. Dimitri Pelo, 6. Thomas Bosc, 7. Shane Perry, 8. David Ferriol, 9. Casey McGuire, 10. Jerome Guisset, 11. Sebastien Raguin, 15. Jean-Phillipe Baile, 16. Olivier Elima, 17. Cyril Gossard, 18. Vincent Duport, 19. Julien Touxagas, 20. Kane Bentley, 23. Jason Ryles, 24. Remi Casty, 26. Greg Bird, 27. Sebastien Martins.

 

Referee for the game, which kicks off at 8pm is Ben Thaler.
