Why? Had a decent game against Leeds, but if Walsh is fit, he clearly takes his shirt. Is he better than any player in any of the other positions? No. Do Flanagan or Greenwood deserve to be dropped? No.

I think people just get giddy if he has a half decent game. He's even won man of the match votes on this forum and if we are being honest he's prob not been in the top 3 at all this year.

Don't get me wrong he stood up last Friday but was no better than walker, greenwood or any other young lad that played.

I don't believe in picking players because of who they ate or what they did for the club 3 years ago. We know wello was top class, we know wello puts his body on the line, we know wello is a saints great but that can't give him the edge over young lads who still making their names.

However, I do feel that wello has earned a bench spot next week when the likes of Amor, walmsley and Lms return.

Nobody deserves to be left out after Friday however that's what comes of having competition for places. The coach
Has got some difficult decisions to make. LMS and Manu are two who are not 100% cert to play. Wello will not be left out. His leadership and influence on the team is there for all to see. To do so would be plain stupid.

How was your mate Ant Walker down at 'brook this weekend - not that you're biased or anything.

Flash has made 87 tackles in two weeks after being away from first team action for 11 months. No way should he be dropped.

Whilst the lads were terrific on Friday, Leeds easily outstripped us for gaining yards and it's was only our determination that kept them out. It was a titanic effort that simply can't be done every week, but the senior players need to come back in for the most part. Hudds will be well pumped for this one.

Whilst Wello was very good on Friday and had a good game against Wakey, I don't particularly think he should be an automatic pick. Rather, I think it's asserted that his role should be a bit part one. We've hardly needed him when we've had a full complement, but when the chips are down and we needed some experience to galvanise a young team, then he's been sensational.

I'd go
Lomax
Makinson, Percival/Wheeler, Jones, Swift
Hohaia and Walsh
Amor Roby Walmsley
Flash Manu Greenwood

Masoe, LMS, Soliola, Wello

I tempted to name Wello for utility value, but I'd be equally happy to see them take Charnock.
Richards seemed to grow in stature as Friday's match went on. Perhaps it would a good idea to take him again to continue building.

Here here on all points - Flanno has earned the shirt with those performances. Walmsley Amor and Mose will give us big metres. Experience is so important in pressure cup games. The young lads will get further chances over easter and as we rotate forwards throughout the season.

Re: Now for Hudds : Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:14 pm  

The more I think about it, the more I think that LMS shouldn't just stroll his way into the team.

Amor has been sensational so I have no problem with him coming in. It would certainly be a big confidence boost for the youngsters and a sure sign that if you play well you keep your shirt.
