That's an excellent backrow.

I'm sure Joel, Lockers and Hoffman are quaking in their boots for when we face Saint's.

Seriously though that's a great HB combination if you can keep them both fit. Plus the best starting frontrow in SL in my opinion as well. As i say it's just a shame for you that those two good elements of your team are paired with two not so great one's in your backrow and backline.

That would be my team except i`d have Soliola in the pack with Flannery in the centres, he played his best rugby in that posistion last year.

I would put big Tony at second row over clough he causes real problems with the ball in hand he's a massive unit

OR

Wilkin
Soliola
Puletua

I'm not sure they would be enjoying it too much then would they.

Re: 2011 Line-Up : Sat Dec 04, 2010 4:56 pm  

I'll be astonished if Soliola spends the season at centre, we are light in the back row and we need him there as the beef among the more athletic ones.

No your right the 15 minutes that Puletua put's in every half could be quite taxing for our lads.

By moving Tony P you'll lose the only bit of impact you have on the bench. Plus it forces Flannery into the centre's meaning a slow backline just got slower. Your short of a centre ideally. Perhaps a fully fit Wheeler (yes I know that's an unrealistic target) could maybe just maybe solve your problems. Of course that's assuming he's as good a centre as a lot of Saint's fans make out.

Who knows, it's still potential at this stage. But he's shown enough of it in his SL appearances to be a 1st team choice for me.

From what I've seen I'd have him at Wigan, his only fault is his injury record. If Rogues said it then Ive no reason to doubt him, I've got a lot of respect for Brian and his views on the game.

Although I didn't see much of Wheeler play last year (neither did you Saints fans ). I am aware of what a good player he is, I'm just still under the impression that he's a standoff as opposed to a centre. It's just a case of getting him fit and slim (according to a few on here).
