| Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"Because I like him.
I did go to some length to say he would be having an impact role. He would not play more than 20 minutes in my set up and the first time he comes on he would be coming on with 2 other sets of fresh legs.
I also said without seeing the players in a game it's hard to call, but it's certainly a line up I'd like to see.'"
I think we know what the rest can do as all but Burns and Vea was here last year.
Like I said, I'd ease Saveilo in gradually with hope of him being a first team regular come the business end. The kid played two super league games so he's still not up to the speed of super league and being gradually brought in will ease him in and hopefully build confidence.

| Seems to be that the Percival Makinson partnership is being favoured today.

I'm a believer in LMS as a wide-running back rower, so I'd have Vea on the bench as an impact forward. I've put Richards in the 17 shirt as I think he's a really good grafting front rower, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Savelio challenge him for that spot.

| Going off yesterdays performance Greenwood & Savelio are infront of Vea.
Mose looked overweight again but will get fitter over the season.
Lomax did ok but did not link up well but we did have Wilkin at 7.
Deffo start Thompson he looks like he's playing where he left off from the G/F.
Dawson was a surprise start for me but i guess he won't start the season infront of Swift.
Burns looked a real threat at 6 and can't wait for him to link up with Walsh.
Vea Looked lazy and i'm hoping he'll get better.

| Thompson looks and plays like a seasoned pro already. It's so hard to forget he is just 19. I think he is nailed on for a place in the 17 each week, I don't he needs to be rotated or gradually introduced in to the team; he's already there.
We saw glimpses yesterday of what Burns can offer. He made a couple of half-breaks, very nearly scored and put the crab away with 2 nice passes that could and probably should have lead to tries.
Bit early to judge Vea but admittedly he didn't do much. Greenwood looked hungry to make a point which was good to see.

| Quote Magic Superbeetle="Magic Superbeetle"I prefer percy on the right, as I think it's his stronger side, and I still have question marks over the defensive frailty of a Percy - swift combo... To get Percy in (and if it's not this year it's next year) it means Turner simple has to move - and I still believe that he showed his utility value in the side at the end of last year.
Lomax
Makinson Percival Jones Swift
Burns Walsh
Amor Roby Masoe
LMS Thompson
Turner
Hohaia Vea Walmsley Richards
Would be my absolute prefered line up. Wilkin and Flanagan just don't have the size to play in the pack for me, and we saw how destructive that pack can be, as it single handed got us through the playoffs. Burns and Walsh working off that pack, feeding those outside backs would be devastating imo! Turner doesn't have to be involved as a playmaker, but I think he'd be great at working off the spine poking at gaps through the middle, and running support off the shoulders of the big guys (aka the role Wellens played for us for so many years) while Lomax works with Walsh and Burns to dictate play.
Not sure who'd be captain in that team though LMS or Walsh at a guess'"
Don't know if you were there yesterday mate but you'll be pleased to know Percy played right centre.
