Even that old pensioner on the radio said that Saints will never get anywhere until they get rid of Wello

Lomax or Makinson to 1 and Swift to 7.

He was one of our best players today.

Gaskell played poorly, too. But he's also far more inexperienced.

Far more inexperienced than who?

Are you at the match or have you been listening to the commentary?

Hohaia can hardly be blamed. The first thing any new player needs when he changes clubs is game time. Not least to develop some understanding with his team mates. So far Royce has treated him like an expensive seat polisher.

Than Danny Brough for one. For Hudds to beat us by only a drop goal (compliment to us: Brough sensed danger) with the amount of ball we dropped and with two young halves and minus our regular hooker is not a disaster. Our halves haven't yet had a full season in their respective positions! This is going to happen with them in the halves. They are still learning.

Can't say any more really.

Lomax is a great player. But I don't know how much more proof Saints fans need to understand he's playing in the wrong place. When Roby went down Jonny should have gone to nine. Hohaia to scrum half.

I kinda agree with what your saying and I also have my doubts if he's a scrum half. He's a very good player but I'm not sure what his best postion is.

The problem with having two young halves, is what happened today, they lack experince and leadership due to there young age.

We should have replaced eastmond with a good quality halfback and not a fullback we trying to convert in to a halfback.

We 100% lack leadership in the halves.

Gaskell's not exactly covered himself in glory either today. Time to try Wheeler at 6?

Gaskell is natural stand off tho and IMO needs a good experinced scrum half with him.

If we are all for rotation will it be Lomax and Gaskells turn this week? Surely trying Wheeler and Hohaia there can't be any worse!
