I'd take Dicko instead of Flannery. His running off the bench could really make a difference.
Flanders is a workhorse who they choose to play for minimal minutes - it doesn't make sense to me.

Me neither but unfortunately I can't see it changing.

No, safe and solid all the way. Unfortunatley, it looks like this strategy is meaning the end of Dixon's Saints career.

Gaskell on bench, with Robes moving to loose & Hohaia to nine was very succesful recently, added more creativity.
Possibility could be considered again.

If it was me that's what I would do after about 20 minutes of the game with Hohaia coming off the bench.

Hohaia has done nothing to justify selection ahead of Gaskell but I'm sure he will be in the starting 13. I hope we retain Gaskell in the 17
