And Lomax isn't fit enough do we go with Moore, Wilkin or Roby in the halves?

A huge decision for Potter to make. I'd personally go with Moore at 7 I think. Decent kicking game and puts his shoulder in. Gives us essentially 7 forwards on the field for the opening skirmishes. I'm not sure we can afford to go with lomax who has had 3 weeks without rugby and I don't want Wilkin moving out of the forwards.

imo its for the best if eastmond dosnt play as its kinda wasting a slot in the team

Smith at 7, Wilkin at 6 for me. Wilkin was better overall last night and while he's no halfback, he's used to playing at 6 now and we desperately need to be settled for next week. Potter changed too many people around last night just to facilitate a crocked Kyle (hope he is better and wowing us again next season) and to do that again for a Grand Final would be suicide.

Roby and Smith for me. Roby to just run and run, Smith to organise and handle the kicking. Scotty Moore on the bench.

Kyle should not be seen until Fenruary ( or a pre season freindly ), end of !

No point in playing Kyle.

He will just no doubt get injured again at some point, and in a Grand Final especially, you cannot waste a jersey.

Thats what i'd have picked last night and would pick next week. We could use roby as a extra forward and leave smith to run the team as he did when wilkin was at 6 against the wolves.

Wilkin is not a stand off in a million years but it worked against wolves as wilkin played as a forward leaving smith to do his thing.

Kyle and smith was a mistake in the halfs, both took a backseat and looked as tho they didn't wan't to step on each others toes.

wello
gardner/lomax
meli
gidley
foster
roby
smith
graham
kc
tony p
sia
flannery
wilkin

bryn
clough
emmitt
moore

That is what i'd go with next week.

I agree.

Playing both kyle and lomax in any team together looks a risk as none of them ever complete the game.

Kyle needs to recover and kick on next year.

Id go with Smith and Roby.
I think Roby should do 80 mins

Moore to replace KC

.

The lack of half backs destroys our bench. That will be the reason we don't win next week IMO.

no way Eastmond should play next week-restricts us to 16 players .Too injury prone

Flannery is in the team twice? Id put puletua in the team and have clough in the 2nd row and wilkin to 13 to replace the 2nd flannery.

Completely agree with the half back choices too!

Also just noticed soliola is in the team twice too. I'd have Gardener on the wing and soliola in the 2nd row.

Good luck Saints

I'd go with...

Wello
Foster
Gidley
Meli
Gardner

Lomax
Smith

Hargreaves
Cunningham
Graham
Wilkin
Soliola
Flannery.

Roby
Clough
Puletua
Emmitt.
