Saints 19 to face Leeds : Thu Apr 21, 2016 2:39 pm  

Kyle Amor, Matty Dawson, Theo Fages, Joe Greenwood, Morgan Knowles, Jonny Lomax, Shannon McDonnell, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Jack Owens, Mark Percival, Greg Richards, James Roby, Andre Savelio, Lama Tasi, Atelea Vea, Alex Walmsley, Luke Walsh, Calvin Wellington, Jon Wilkin.

No Thompson, Turner, Burns, Peyroux etc Percival, Lomax and Vea all back. Will be interesting to see where he puts Lomax and McDonnell.

The return of Percival makes the backs look a lot better, while the return of Vea, if he regains last year's form, adds another yard-maker to Walmsley and Amor. All good.

But let's face it, all eyes will be on Lomax. Will he be the player he used to be?

I hope nobody jumps to any conclusions on the basis of tomorrow. It's going to take him a couple of months to really settle back in, I'd imagine.

Having Greenwood and Vea back is very important, IMO. If we've got second rowers running powerful, direct lines on the edges, instead of trotting the ball back to the middle or just killing the play stone dead like LMS and Wilkin, then we might just make a bit of room for our halves and threequarters to exploit.

I might, you know me.

Greenwood hasn't been injured as he? He played reserves last week didn't he ?

He was injured for the Warrington game and was touch and go for the Catalans game last week.

I think he has more or less said he will put him out wide, if indeed he plays him. SMD to remain FB for the time being.
Similarly with Vea and Percy, he has indicated that he will not give them a full game for sure.

It's an interesting one tonight. I can't quite make my own mind up about the side I'd like to see, and I've certainly got no idea what KC is going to dish up. I'd love to see Wellington get the nod ahead of Owens, but that's something I don't expect to happen.
