He's "possibly" Saints best attacking weapon when he can be bothered... may aswell give him the role the entitles him to attack and pop-up whenever and wherever?

I think he would do OK, at loose forward, i wasn't disagreeing. I just noticed you put him loose in your team for next year and then your team for Sunday. However, i'd leave him at stand off, although that doesn't mean he wouldn't do a job at loose forward.

Yeah swapped next years team Gone for more experience! I do think that while regulars are out the kids should get the chance, at the end of the day they need to get used to it for when the eventually take over from the more mature squad members. I really would like Wheeler to get some game time, he has lots of admirers including Matt Gidley at a recent forum I went to.

Puletua is doing what Graham had to do last year.

Hopefully not playing 80 mins though.

Hargreaves will have to do the big minutes on Sunday with no Graham.

Will be interesting to see how armstrong does again on the week, he had a solid game last week with a few errors but nobody is perfect

Its good to see fans getting behind him. Yes he made a few errors but unlike other sets of fans we didnt pick up on that and make large of it instead we made a point of his well taken try and pretty solid performance. The kids will grow with confidence and fans getting behind him will give him that

meh i made a big typo there lol... on the week wtf i meant on the wing.

I like seeing home grown british players coming through the ranks. Gives us a stronger position to work from and if the kids get more than the odd game here and there we will go far.
