I'm sorry but for me I'd be dropping some of those big names.

Wellens earned his shirt for me after the Cas and Leeds games. But since then???? I've not really noticed him.

Wilkin taking out yesterday when he played at 6. Can't say I've been that amazed.

LMS prop or backrower? To me in both positions he lacks something. Was great when playing for his contract, but has now reverted to previous.

For the next 4 or 5 games

Amor Roby Laffranchi
Sia Manu
Savelio

Bench: Lance (interchange hooker and by god does Roby need one)
Masoe, Walmsley, Greenwood

If someone is injured, then replace with a youth player or Flanagan in the back row.

But for me there is little room for some old names who have been part of a team on the slide for the past few years. The team has improved this year, but they have not.

Problem with that is 3 of your starting pack are injured.

I'm assuming Laffranchi, Amor and Manu

So Greenwood for Amor, Flanagan for Manu, Walker for Laffranchi, Thompson or Richards to take Greenwoods bench spot.

Playing LMS because he fills a shirt does nothing for me.

But that would be my starting line up if they were all fit.

Masoe, so disappointing, his tackling at times is poor, he takes the ball virtually at standing pace, never runs on to it, still does not look fit, and I still think Walmsley is weak, yes he has a heart, but he still does not look Super League standard.

Yet again you make yourself look like a clueless fool with comments like this.

Re: masoe and the rest : Sun Apr 27, 2014 10:20 am  

To me we just have too many people being carried. ie impact props. ball playing loose forwards, props that only play second row, people with experience but not really pack players.

Chuck them out and then you have a pack to work with.

Problem is those people are the media friendly, Saints long standers.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but we can't carry all of them in the pack.

I agree with you on Mose. Mose is 20 stone, 6ft 5in, mobile and couldn't break out of a paper bag.

Walmsley on the other hand is been pretty good. He makes good meters but does have areas he needs to improve drastically if he wants to be a top level prop.

I hope Amor's injury isn't as bad as it looked otherwise we're properly screwed.

I bet we won't see him for a good few month.
