At the moment it actually seams a simple task for royce as the players are making the choice for him. It would be trickier to fit everyone in if they all played well or were all appauling.
FB lance -Wellens is injured and as so will have to bid his time and earn his spot back
Gardner /Foster - These are the two weaker wingers so its up to one of them to grab a spot. If both turn out to be dodgy Royce also has the option of moving meli over and putting wheeler in that centre once shenton is better. Not to mention Ashe could offer up a wing option.
So at the moment two years for foster and an extention for gardner seams to have been a very good idea.
Makinson is clearly a first choice on the sheet so gets a wing spot.
Shenton when fit will move wheeler. but wheeler could move meli too.
Lomaskell to continue. If lomax is injured. Moved lance forwards and wellens to FB. ifGaskell is injured Wheeler gets his chance as he has a kicking game too.
