I would say Gaskell is a more natural 7 than a 6, would give Wheeler the no 6 shirt, Lomax on the bench coming on in the 2nd half against a tiring defence.

Rush was Andersons assistant, do it may be interesting to see of he coaches in an Anderspn style.

As far as players go, there will be one at least who benefits from this, there always is as a result of a coaching overhaul. Which player is going up grab the opportunity that is available?

Well it's a long time to our next game so it gives us some time for prep and boy we need it as after Sunday it's a quick turn around for Warrington.

What are you expecting on Sunday?

Saints 2006 revisited?

I'd settle for Saints 1995 reloaded.

You aint going to get either.

How can you say that so catergorically?

Too much inexperience in the wrong places.

Not exactly a team full of stars, infact our future golden generation where still relatively youthful.

I reckon our team could equal the heights of 1995

I don't really understand the obsession with moving Lomax to full back. Wellens is a very good full back, and isn't looking any slower than he has for most of his career. Lack of pace at full back is a weakness, but every team has weaknesses. In an inexperienced side, you don't start moving your most experienced player out of position, to then move a young player like Lomax into a position that isn't his preferred.

If we do in the future move Wellens for a more pacy player than its likely to be Lance, who is the next most experienced at full back.

Lomax did a very good job at scrum half last year. We need the kicking and organisation part of the game sorted out very quickly, this is something I think can be done with the same set of players but just sharing out the responsibilities differently and changing the tactics.
