So what!! Good learning curve for the youngsters.

As long as KC, Long, Gidley and Cayless are back for the big games then i dont really care!

I am really looking forward to this game, and seeing what Eastmond can do at scrum half.

Should be a great game.

I think we will miss Gidley more than we'll miss Long.

I'd go with

1. Wellens
2. Gardner
3. Flannery
4. Dean
5. Meli
6. Pryce
7. Eastmond (He is either good enough or isn't. Don't move him about)
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Hargreaves
11. Gilmour
12. Wilkin
13. Clough

14. Wheeler
15. Puletua
16. Fa'asavalu
17. Ashurst

Dixon and Lomax to miss out. If Wilkin still isn't good to go, move Ashurst to his spot and put Dixon on the bench.

I'd love lomax to get another shot, he was great against cas, but i can't see where. We need all the experience we can against a very good and very big wire pack. I bet its the biggest pack in SL.
For me play kyle at 7 or don't play him at all. If he doesn't play at 7 I'll be very disappointed.

Lomax can interchange with Roby at half back.
