More chance of having a no.6 if we play Gaskell there than if we play Leon there with Leon's absentee rate this season! I'm not at all convinced he will play at all this season.
I think who plays in the halves next year will be interesting and I hope that Simmons rotates our halfbacks so that the young players are not blocked by the presence of Hohaia and Pryce (if he is still with us). It would be a real shame if Lomax continues to play at 7 this season, continues to develop in the way he appears to be doing only to find himself shunted around the park playing bit roles like he has been doing for the last couple of seasons. Likewise if Gaskell makes strides this season.
I see what your saying and agree to some of the points. We need to keep the likes of Gaskell active in the first team if Royce opts for others over him.
I don't think we should rotate the halves. We need a good solid partnership there which will grow.
I think lomax should be given the chance to remain at 7 under his form there this year and then it's down to Royce who he feels is best to partner him. Pryce is by far the best 6 at the club by a long way but we ain't sure if he's here next year yet.
Lance then comes in for 2012 so it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
If we do keep Leon next year and he plays to how he can then my gut feeling is lance will replace wello at fullback.
