Richards to make debut according to official site.
We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
Never going to happen but this is the line up I would put out.
FB: Jonny Lomax, Wing: Tommy Makinson, Wing: Francis Meli, Centre: Jordan Turner, Centre: Josh Jones 6. Gareth O'Brien, 7. Wilkin Prop: TP Prop: Clough Hooker: Roby 2nd r: Manu 2nd r: Laffranchi Loose: LMS
Bench
Joe Greenwood, Alex Walmsley, Luke Thompson, Greg Richards.
Just my view, but as we have young props and props who struggle to meet the physical challenge, then we need more of them than other teams to share out the work.
Go BIG and try a bit of biff and bash. It's not the Saints way, but we have to dominate up front to stand any chance. If you have quality in the pack doing the work then you can throw more back's into the fray, but you have to get on the front foot first. It's going to be a warm weekend, so rotate the front row every 15 mins to keep em fresh and running hard.

probably the best halfback combo available to us at the moment and I'd go with your theory on 'big' given we've been smashed in the pack for most of the year.
Without being disrespectful thank god he has not selected Howarth. I expect a big game out of TP this weekend. He has been hiding of late but he normally plays well at Weldon Road and that in turn will encourage the waistline that is LMS to give us a bit of action. I expect us to burst the Cas bubble this weekend. I would even hope for a 30 point clear margin. Back under pressure Josh Jones I really like this lad but he needs to stop the skip and hop technique and watch a DVD of Roy Haggerty.
Who is Greg Richards? Where does he play? I really don't like him already because of his surname, can we just call him Greg from now on, as if he was Brazilian?

Apparently a prop forward but according to the local rag Brown may play him at 13. No surprise there. I'm sure if he was a centre, Brown would play him at prop.

A prop but only a teenager. So not really surprising if he is eased in elsewhere. We did the same with other's. Eastmond lomax Started on the wing. Clough at second row. Long did not play seven straight away.
