Savelio posted huge stats for a second game in super league.

Masoe, again looks more impressive a prop than we've had for a while (along with Amor and walmsley this year) - I get the feeling though that short of carrying all 13 opposition 40m every carry, and making every tackle in the match he's not gonna get credit from certain fans

2 penalties and an error from walker negates the good work he other wise did.

50 metres from 10 carries ... And a clean break .... What would LMS' stats without the break?? No change in performance after the warning ...

Should this lad be playing every week?

Always a difficult call to make with youngsters. He's gone fantastically so far, but whether he's ready for week in week out is another matter. On top of that, if he keeps posting figures like he did, he'll start to get targeted, and you never know how any player will hold up to that.

I'd play him vs Leeds then a few weeks off - toe dipping seems the most sensible way to go.

I don't think we can afford not to play Savelio against Leeds, given how poor some of our other options have looked going forward.

Assuming the backs are all fit for selection, I'd go:

Lomax
Swift
Percival
Turner
Makinson
Lance
Walsh
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Flanagan
Soliola
Wilkin

Jones
Masoe
Savelio
Wellens

Savelio's stats prove he should be in the team over LMS. In the past, I've rated LMS but on current form, he doesn't deserve to be in the team.

I wish we could! Jones.

LMS simply can't be anywhere near the side after taking the p*ss twice in four days with a pathetic level of effort.

Swap Percival out for jones, and I fully agree - LMS made 100 metres in 2 games, Savelio made 186m in 1!

As I posted on the other thread

Lomax
Makinson Turner Jones Swift
Hohaia Walsh
Amor Roby Masoe
Wilkin Greenwood
Soliola

Walmsley Richards Flanaghan Savelio

I'm not sure any of them knew what their roles were.

We had our best-ever full back playing at half-back, our current half back playing at full back and Nathan Brown's (supposedly) first choice half back playing at centre. Still with me....? Hardly surprising anyone knew what they were supposed to be doing, including our esteemed coach. However, credit to our young lads once again, especially Savelio and Greenwood. Let's hope that the enforced changes don't adversely affect our chances on saturday.

he should certainly be playing more often than he does now.
