it's obviously going to be wheeler or eastmond who will play scrum half, the future for england is certainly bright with youngsters like these 2 coming through.

I don't recall pryce playing fullback for GB or the bulls.

Last time I saw him at fullback for saints he played really well. It gives him chance to drift in and out of games and that's when he at his best.

He also would get us on front foot from kicks which IMO we badly lack at the moment.

The likes of Webb, slater and hunt get there teams on front foot when they return kicks which gives teams chance to get a roll on.

Pryce is awful under the bomb. Why waste our main dangerman in a position he doesn't like playing and one in which he fails to excel in?

Exactly! Wello should stay at FB for at very least the next season and then potentially move to loose? if he slows to much or young kids nock him off his position. Pryce should stay at 6, he is most effective there and he isn't exactly knocking on yet

Do you honestly think that every player that leaves saints will be replaced by a young kid?

It don't work like that. We will be lucky if 3 of the young bunch we have now are playing in saints 1st team in 2 years.

Everyone would love it if we could just replace with youth but I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

I know, thats why i said "if". I think wello will still be our full back in 2011

I don't think it will. I'd love it to work but I don't see any of them as a ball player.

IMO wellos lack if pace from kicks always puts us on back foot which I feel is 1 of reasons we struggle to get out of our half

I don't think he'll be our full back next year tbh.
