Fingers crossed Beaumont can
A. Get fit as soon as possible.
B. Be the sort of grafting prop we need.
If you look at Wigan they have strong running back rows which take some pressure off the props. Therefore i wouldn't bother playing some players at second row imo e.g. Wilkin and Flanagan. We need Manu, Soliola, Savelio and Greenwood as our back rowers.
As for props, Amor, Walmsley, Masoe and then hopefully Beaumont are good enough to do the job imo. Until then i think Richards is good enough to do a job but we shouldn't overuse him. Ideally, Clough is pretty much what we need - can we get him back?
Then for hooker, we need to spell Roby obviously. Not sure who with, it seemed to me Tilley was playing dummy half against Widnes? Didn't see the game so can't comment. If Flanagan has played there before then could try him as I don't see his use in second row.
Lock imo, should be a well rounded forward. Wilkin is too lightweight, as is Flash, players like Charnock are too playmaker esque and i am not a fan of playing an extra prop there, especially when that is already an issue. So i think the answer is Jones and he has really proved himself in the last few weeks.
That leaves the pack looking something like
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Manu
Soliola
Jones
Flanagan/Tilley/Fozard
Beaumont/Richards/Laffranchi/Masoe (2 of)
Savelio/Greenwood

I'm sure we can have this chat in October when the season done and dusted.

Absolutely and that will be the best time to judge! |

He might be ok with super glue on his hands...along with a few others.

| Quote: BackrowSaint "I think you're being really unfair on him.
I see what you're saying about the not smashing people impact role but that, quite simply, is not what we're asking him to do.
The role he is playing at the moment is big minutes making metres, which he is doing consistently and on a good number of occasions better than all our other forwards. He's also making his fair number of tackles, a lot aren't one on one as you say but people aren't running straight at him because they know what would happen.
I do think you have a good enough rugby brain to see this so I'm a little surprised at the criticism he's getting from you. When we have Laffranchi, Amor and the likes back fit and his role reverts to a 10 minute impact role and he still isn't making big runs and big hits then fair enough. But at the minute that just isn't his role in the team, regardless of whether fans think it should be.'"
I think the shoulder charge being outlawed has hit Mose pretty bad. Nearly all his hits was shoulder charges so maybe that's why he's not put one single big shot on as yet. |

Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.:Transparent Backgrounds/Kermit%20the%20Frog.gif |

| Quote: The Chair Maker "Soliola had another bad day at the office defensively 4 misses again and only 22 tackles made.
Its becoming too regular an occurrence, and is reminiscent of his early days at Saints when he was regularly getting caught flat footed or going for the big hit and leaving huge defensive holes.
I personally regard him as the key defensive weak link.
Interesting stat, When Soliola plays starting back row we concede on average 26.8 points a game
When he doesn't its 14.3'"
He seems to have forgotten how to catch as well. |
