Quote: St pete "I knew wello was playing 6 from Wednesday when he was told. Brown is trying to stick with a partnership as we've chopped and changed so many times this year.
The fact Howarth has been brought in suggests that Brown will play lance or wello at 6.'"
Cheers for that! Shame it is less than exciting and sounding more sentimental.
Whatever happened with Gaskell is a shame for all parties and with Wheelers injury had left us impossibly short of half backs so I can understand the calls for consistency as it breeds understanding throughout the team.
However I do share the complete lack of enthusiasm for Wellens at 6 (even in the 17 if I am honest) I would rather we tried with Wilkin & Swift/Charnock and stuck with it that for a minimum 6-8 games, surely that would be better than what in essence only ever a short term option, we are always going to be one paced and easy to read in attack if we are being directed by a forward and the worlds slowest back.
