Read off saints twitter that Simmons said he will field a young side. Roby (hand) and Meli (hamstring) will be given the week off, Soliola a doubt also.

So who gets the centre birth? Wheeler or Makinson?
Wheels had it at the beginning of the season, but makinson hasn't let us down and I'd enjoy seeing someone with his pace getting the amount of ball our left centre does.

Wheels at left centre for me, Makinson outside Shenton.

Actually, the dropped ball problem only started halfway through the season. And we have looked very good in attack occasionally but not for some time it has to be said.

I think Leon Pryce is spoiling things for us at present. I'd rather have Gaskell because at least he wants to play for the team. I think Pryce has already put his cue on the rack in preparation for the beaches of southern France.

I agree with gaskell playing but would also let wheeler play to see if he is still made out of toast.

Dropped ball-itous started for me when we played quins at home; we were feckin' awful.

Simmons has confirmed Wheeler will play at left centre. Wilkin returns from suspension. No news on Puletua, Eastmond and Flannery so we're to assume they'll not play this weekend.

Gardner is running at 80% and could feature in the play offs.

I mentioned in one of the threads that I'd rest Roby and Meli - two vital players for us whilst giving game time to Wilkin and Graham who have had a few weeks off. Our halves need more game time together and Wheeler needs minutes so it makes sense. Hopefully we'll pick up no further injuries and the trio mentioned above (and possibly Gardner) will return to give us some competition for selection in week one of the Play Offs when our season really kicks off.

It'd be good to see Graham rested too but I don't think our already depleted pack could cope without him and may be worse off going into the play offs.
