I agree with this completely. But I also have to question whether there is a large enough pool of players available with enough quality to play at the highest level. Comes back to my argument of whether the game/player pool is too diluted.

Maybe. But that isn't working with Saints first team is it?

I guess I just thought it might have been an idea to put in some extra time working on any change in halfback pairing before a winnable match. It was an opportunity to be prepared.

IF Swift is being seriously considered to be brought into the 6 role, it gives us more flexibility how we line up.

My guess is were having a contingency plan if wheeler breaks down... A sensible move I'd say!

If? IF??

Do you not mean 'when'?



Besides, Wheeler's been woeful in his few appearances this season and doesn't [IMO] deserve a place.

There is not too much about deserving a place at the moment.

If you can play 6 or 7 your in.

Swift might improve the current options, but we'd still have no kicking game and therefore no hope. A less dynamic player with a solid kicking game would do fine.
