How many players go we want linking the backs to the forwards?
We've got wilkin and lance in the halves, we've hot lomax acting as a third halfback (like brown stated last night) and now we want wello as well!
Terrible idea, keep it as it is and wello will have to wait for his chance at fullback if lomax gets hurt or loses form.
I would go along with Brown and see how it goes with a few games, we,ve just not enough links pivotal players which gives the opposition less to worry about. We had Wellens, Martyn, Long,Cunningham and Sculthorpe all contributing all linking with different options to worry the oppostion.
Start of the season we just had Roby, so the opposition shut down Roby and we are easy to defend against. Add also the fact that Saints never really have a kicking game so we have one man rugby again easy to defend against.
Now there is a possibilty threat of attack options from 1,7,9 and 13, Wilkin is doing a half decent job at 7 so maybe Wellens can emulate the same.
If you look at Wigan, Warrington and Leeds they have been particularly strong in these particular areas maybe Brown is looking for more creativity by any means he can in these areas as well.
