We have Pryce, Eastmond, Smith.

I think it would be unfair not to include Lomax in the selection. I know he doesn't have experience but he has bags and bags of talent. He's ripped teams to shreds single handedly the past few weeks. I don't recall him ever having a bad game that i have seen. Performs fantasticly week in and week out and if he is fit, i believe he has more than earned a shirt.

All this bickering over whether a Volkswagen is better than a Ferrari. Mental.

If Lomax and Eastmond are 100% fit, they should play in the halves - not Matty Smith.

I disagree, Smith added a massive amount of stability to the team and it's organisation. Pryce could do that were he fit but assuming he's out for the season, Smith IMO has to play every game, whether Kyle returns or not.

Kyle free to create and run at 6 and Smith at 7 organising and probing? It's a dream ticket.

Eastmond won't be fit so go with Lomax and Smith (if Jonny's fit enough)

Fair comment. Throw Jonny in there and IMO it starts to become clear why Smith would choose a team like Salford where he should be confident of making the first 13, rather than stay with Saints and face a huge struggle to make the 17 on a regular basis.

Well, it appears a lot of our fans value fuel consumption more than top speed

No club in their right mind would take Smith over Eastmond. We may be proved wrong in a few years if we're still struggling to get him on the pitch, but his immense talent is well worth the gamble.

The kicking game's been mentioned, but I think people are forgetting Kyle has a decent and varied boot on him.

Why then call Matty Smith back? when he has signed for another club? time will tell, but long term Eastmond, with St Helens I do not share you confidence!
