Gaskell has been doing a fine job for a rookie. He's bound to be our starting 6 (or 7, whichever he actually plays!) for a few weeks yet because Simmons wants to ease Pryce back in - he's said that much in the press. Having Pryce to ease back in might take the pressure off our young halves and help them to play better after what has been quite a gruelling season for them.

Think we agree on this bit.

I can see Gaskell doing the first 30 mins in the first half then Pryce coming on in the last 10 mins to create openings in possibly a tired defence. Then maybe Royce will do a bit of rotation in the 2nd half between 3 backs, thats if we don,t pick up any game injuries of course.

No surprise there! However, that doesn't actually mean I'm wrong; just that I'm holding the presently unpopular view. I still stand by my point, especially that people are getting all carried away simply because they've seen a bit of pace from fullback. They are ignoring the glaring weakness of Kyle at fullback.

I think your missing my point my loved one.

I think Kyle should stay there for time being as he's played well and derseve to be dropped, what message would that send out to the rest of the squad?

Both wello and Kyle have their weakness but as Kyle has plated well he should stay in for time being.

You not booked in yet.


Think Gaskell will start and play first half, Pryce to be introduced after 10 mins in the 2nd half. Probably to be introduced alongside one of the big forwards being rotated at the time. Probably TP.

I think Wello has not been his usual reliable self this season because of the injury he has been carrying. If he is fit and plays I think he will be fine. I think Eastmond will be on the bench as cover for the backs - he could take over from Wello part way through the game. We will just have to wait and see what Royce decides. I'm sure he won't let us down.

Leon pryce is starting on Sunday, so I've just been told.

Wello back at fullback and Kyle drops to the bench.

Re: Cup Squad : Sat Jul 23, 2011 2:52 pm  

Also, lms drops to the bench and TP starting at prop.

So all my mate at saints has told me is Kyle drops to the bench and wello comes in, pryce in for Gaskell who drops out the 17, lms drops to the bench and TP starts at prop.

I txt him for full 17 but didn't get back to me but if that new is correct he's told me then the 17 more or less picks it's self.

So Eastmond covers for 1, 6 and 7. Which would leave Wilkin + Roby to share the kicking game. Hope Wello reads this thread to prove the majority of us are wrong in our analysis.

Not sure who'll be a loose with TP starting at prop, id imagine flannery will go 2nd row and wilkin at loose, like I said he didn't name the full 17 buy just said what I've posted.

He also told me something else about a current player but keeping my mouth shut on it!
