I really don't think Wilkin will be the issue. He'll find a spot even if that's from the bench, or at 6. LMS may just end up back as a normal prop even though I like the idea of him at 13.
I think Wellens is the position really under threat as a regualar starter.
With injuries you can see him getting some bench starts, or if Lomax was taken out then he could play FB, rather than shuffle the wingers, but for a top game there is just no space.
I ran through a couple of packs on a different thread that you could feasably put out. I had even forgotten Amor and Wellens did not fit in.
It just feels to be a bit of a luxury (strange to say) to have so many pack players. Yet no 6.
Would it be better to hedge our bets and run without a Laffranchi in the hope of getting a 6 mid-year?
Or does the club have a target 6 in mind who will not be available till 2015 and so we may as well spend the money on Laffranchi. Better to have the luxury than run below cap????
