Numbers 6 and 7 : Sun Apr 21, 2013 11:01 am
Given that Wheeler is injured. Given that it's likely that the cheque book is closed for this year.What would you do with 6 and 7 for the rest of this year. Every week we all talk about needed a 6 and 7. But other teams are also looking, no one is likely to offload a halfback.
So what would you do for the next months of SL.
I don't think we can continue with Wilkin, he has stood up in the early games but teams have caught on and without Lomax he is looking out of depth having to do it all alone.
My prefered option would be to get a loan from the NRL, we can't afford anyone in the NRL, but who says we can't get a 6 month loan which will help that club reduce it;s wages rather than pay a player in the reserves.
My other would be to recall Gaskell until either Yates or Wheeler is fit. I understand Gaskell is gone and has issues at Saints but in the end we need people in proper positions.
Then Wilkin back to loose and Lance as reserve 9.
Next year clean slate with new 6 and 7.
