5) Miitch

6) Maccas lad Ben

Jack Brown ( he needs a game)

9) Johnstone

10) Radders ( if we still hold his reg)

11) Lane ( go forever)

12) Cator ( see above)

13) Connor Wynne

Subs unused for guidance only

There will be changes for the next match, if we lose any percentages.

Getting battered (physically) by the Dragons won't have done Saints any favours. I think we have a real chance on Friday.

I think we got battered also with all the defending we had to do
A lot of tired and bruised bodies in our team

Don't disagree but think Hodgson will go Fash, Bowden, Cator/Lane, Faraimo

Faraimo played 12 minutes at Leeds so dont see the point,the same with Johnstone who did 20 mins.
That said i would start him for Fonua.
Fonua used to get us several penalties in a game but now cant even get us set restarts so that part of his game has gone and Faraimo has a bit more pace and seems to make more metres.
If we are going to use Johnstone then i would start him and let Danny Houghton come off the bench which gives us a better attacking threat and keeps him a little fresher.
Its likely Bowden will be in the 17 to give us a bit more size and it will be interesting what he does with Brown.
Not knocking Fash for effort but Brown is by far the better impact player and has an offload in his game.

Id like to see Gaz Ellis at 13 as we are a bit light in the forwards

So we judge players on their ability to milk penalties, interesting.

Did you see that off load by SKD at Wakey

Think Fash has done well when he’s come on.

Fash is by far the most under appreciated player we have.

I honestly have no idea what game some people are watching to suggest that Brown should be ahead of him.

I'm not saying it's what I would do, but it looks as though Brett prefers to carry an outside back on the bench.

Fonua has done nothing wrong to lose his starting spot to Faraimo.

As I've said before, Brown has the potential to be a much better player than Fash. He's stronger, quicker, more explosive and can offload. But Fash is far more reliable and is making much better yards after contact this year. I would like to see Brown given a proper run in the side to see what he can do, but Fash doesn't deserve to be dropped for him.
