Out are: Gardner, Wilkin, Meil (suspended,) Lomax, Roby, Perry, Wheeler, Flanagan, Manu (?), Yates (injured) Gaskell (on loan). Sorry if I've missed anyone.

Makinson
Swift
Turner
Jones
Percival
Wellens
Hohaia
Clough
Howarth
LMS
Soliola
Puletua
Greenwood

Laffranchi, Charnock, Walmsley, Tilley.

Best I can come up with. If it was me, I'd play Charnock over Hohaia and Forster over Laffranchi but Brown won't do that.

Starting to look like your average Salford, Wakefield or Bradford lineup.

It will given that we have almost a full starting team either injured or suspended.

What happens when you have 10 first team players out.

Wellens
Makinson
Turner
Percival
Swift
Charnock
Hohaia
Boof
Howarth
Walmsley
Sia
Jones
TP

Clough
LMS
Greenwood
Tilley

Gardner's suspended

So that's a good thing if we can do that with so many injuries.



Here is an option.

Makinson
Swift
Jones
Percival (I don't get what moving him to the wing offers)
Ashe
Turner
Lance

Walmsley
Howarth
Clough
Sia
Laffranchi
Wellens

LMS
TP
Greenwood
Hand

A fairly nimble back line with a pack that should be enough. Also gets Frank in the back row.

But the halves are an issue, but they where anyway, so what's the harm. In a way, balance out the rest of the side and then the last 2 play in the halves.

It will be very difficult. Would you rather play an experienced first teamer out of position, or risk it with an academy player in the correct position? For me it is the latter, so I would go with:

Wellens, Swift, Turner, Jones, Makinson, Hohaia, Charnock, LMS, Howarth, Laffranchi, Puletua, Soliola, Jones.

Walmsley, Greenwood, Percival, Clough

I like this but i was thinking more along the lines of:
Makinson
Swift
Turner
Percival
Ashe
Charnock
Hohaia
Walmsley
Howarth
Clough
Soliola
Jones
Laffranchi

McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Puletua
Greenwood
Forster/Hand

This way your not moving to many of the backs or the pack around, and I'm sorry there is no room for Wellens in my selections, as much as the man has done for the club I just think he needs to slip into retirement and move into a backroom position...

Apparently Luke Thompson is getting his debut against London. I've looked on Saints website but there is no indication as to what position he plays. Anyone know where he plays?

Apparently also Nathan Ashe will get 'significant game time' which sounds like he may play at hooker, given that is usually the position that is interchanged and he has played previously.
