19 man squad : Wed Jun 10, 2009 1:57 pm  

http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1846 Without roby and graham who do you expect to fill in? I'd like to see Kyle given a run in place of Roby and Emmit to fill in for Jammer. It will be interesting to see how we go without these two in our team.

guessing that Dean and Lomax will miss out.

Wheeler on wing, Gilmour at centre,

it should be enough, esp considering they are missing their 2 best players in Shenton and Westerman.

our biggest handicap is the referee....Mr Ian SMith.

I think I am alone in this "Westerman" love affair, I thought last year he staretd well, destoryed Ste Tyrer and scored plenty of points, but this year and the second half of last year I cant say I have been in awe or overjoyed with the lads talent. Cass's best player seems to be that Seargant at prop forward, decent chap he is, plenty meter's he seems to make and soem big auld tackles to.

Ryan McGouldrick (sp) is a class player.

I would of thought he'd let Lomax carry on on the wing - give him a 3 or 4 match run like he did with Armstrong then Wheeler.

Kyle should defo be involved, but I'm not sure whether (and how) we'll try and simulate our classic two hooker trick. Maybe he'd bring Eastmond on and he and Long could share the dummy half duties - or would he use Lomax as a hooker and someone else on the wing?

I assume Puletua will start at prop, with Emmit or Frodsham on the bench.

Can never make out if he supposed to be a FB or a stand off.

It is a bit of a dilema. In the interests of the future of the team possibly longy switch to hooker when KC has a breather and Kyle to 7, but it doesnt really sound feasable

They might roam kinda left and right and take the responsibility when they're near the ruck, leaving t'other free to take up 1st reciever. However, this is a little off the cuff for Potter's playing style, i reckon.

Wilkin can go into dummy half when KC is off. Ordinarily I'd say this is an ideal game to give Kyle 80 mins, but with our badly weakened front row it's going to be tough for whoever plays 7, so I would probably keep him on the bench.

Or in at the deep end time and sink or swim!
