SAINTS head coach Keiron Cunningham says he is still unable to put a timeline on long-term absentee Jonny Lomax’s return.

“We were hoping he’d be fit for the end of March but things took a turn for not the best," said Cunningham.

“We’ll just play it week by week, there’s other issues with Jonny that isn’t regarding his knee.

“I’d love the kid to be running around in a Saints shirt, he’d help me out and my team but we can’t force the issue, we’ve got to be patient with him. I’m desperate for him to be back.”
