England stand-off, 33, had to leave Saints’ stunning 40-10 victory early owing to an injury that may sideline him for some time. Captain Jonny Lomax confesses he was ready to play despite a suspected broken hand, only to watch his St Helens team go on without him.
The England stand-off will undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury sustained in the first half of Friday’s impressive 40-10 victory against Leeds. It’s rare for the Saints icon to leave the field, so when he did, he was clutching his hand, indicating a major issue. The hosts, already with a decimated pack and England second-row Joe Batchelor limping off after five minutes, were 6-6 ahead at the time. Nonetheless, they persevered and won the game, propelling them to the top of the Super League. Lomax, 33, eventually left the Totally Wicked Stadium with his hand firmly wrapped up. When asked about the degree of the damage, he replied, “I don’t really know yet. I’ll go get it scanned to see what the crack is and what can be done about it going forward.It was in and around the [hand] area. We will just have to see what it is. I thought that may be okay. I got it checked.
“I got myself [back] on the bench but the way we scored there was no point risking it. I’ll get it checked, see where we’re at and move forward from that.”
