| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "The only slight change I would make is switching Vea and Wilkin. I think Vea will suit the middle channel more which allows Wilkin to play his favoured left channel (where I think he is strongest) and Greenwood on the right.
I'd be happy with this team v Catalans:
Lomax
Makinson
Percival
Turner
Swift
Burns
Walsh
Walmsley
Roby
Amor
Greenwood
Wilkin
Vea/Thompson
Vea/Thompson
Masoe
LMS
Hohaia
Wellens, Dawson, Richards, Savelio, Flanagan, Jones next in line.
Pass us the trophy now. ![]()
Yip pretty much spot on there for the opening game, i'd possibly put LMS at loose but hey ho good squad that.
Wilkin although our Captain needs to up his game as other players in his position are right behind him.

Is Walsh going to be fully fit for the start of the season?

I like a few combinations if I'm honest. However, I'd settle on this team.
Lomax
Makinson
Turner
Percival
Swift
Burns
Walsh
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Wilkin
Vea
Thompson
LMS
Masoe
Richards
Savelio/Greenwood
I like Percival with Swift, they're an excellent combination. I see no reason to change something that isn't broken. Furthermore, Turner's footwork is right to left so he's suited to that right side. I don't rate Turner all that much at all but I definitely don't fancy him as a left centre,
Not convinced with the whole shenanigans of having Hohaia or Wellens on the bench. Rotate them properly through the season. Rest players completely and give them games. Roby should be able to rested a few games this year where we could put Lance in at nine. For me, a utility man on the bench weakens your 17. Four forwards to keep pounding teams and Saints will be absolutely formidable. The prospect of Amor, Walmsley, Thompson, Masoe, Richards and Savelio playing the middle channel is mouthwatering.
Wilkin, Vea, LMS and Greenwood playing the wider channels are four quality options as well.
Obviously, we'll mix and match through the year. I think we're in a situation where you can go 'horses for courses' a lot. It's a strong group we have that should compete on all fronts. Let's hope we have a good year injury wise as well.
