Excellent. I just hope it's not at the expense of Lomax.

Lomax and Smith halves
Cunningham 9
Roby 13
Moore off the bench.

Moore and Smith are in at half backs, Lomax won't make it. So basically we are full strength across the park except for our two starting halves in Pryce and Eastmond and are two back up halves in Lomax and Wheeler.

Wellens
Foster
Gidley
Meli
Gardner
Moore
Smith
Graham
Cunningham
Puletua
Flannery
Wilkin
Roby

Clough
Hargreaves
Soliola
Fa'asavalu

6. Wilkin
7. Smith

Lomax injured
Moore also misses out

FFS. Anyone but Wilkin. Surely Moore is injured if he isn't playing?

Wellens, Foster, Gidley, Meli, Gardner, Wilkin, Smith, Hargreaves, KC, Graham, Flanno, Puletua, Roby: Soliola, Fa'asavalu, Clough, Dixon/Emmitt.

Can't believe there is no room for Moore in that 17. Unless he plays KC or Robes from the bench, I can't see anything from the bench that will freshen up our attack.

If Wilkin is in the halves, Roby will play from the bench IMO. He and Maurie would freshen up our attack.

Wilkin alongside a runner may work as it did when he played alongside Pryce. IMO the problem with him and Moore is that neither causes danger with ball in hand and I'm not sure Smith will bring that. Lomax would and him being out would be a killer.

We will at least be able to turn their wingers round though.

If that's the case then I think Potter would have got it wrong. I know he's the SL coach and I am but a fan but surely Roby HAS to play the full 80? Looking at the 17 available he is our number 1 matchwinner in my eyes. If that's what he goes with and we win, I'll be the first on here apologising but starting Roby from the bench would be criminal in my eyes.

I agree entirely, I was just giving my take on how Potter would play it if he decides Wilkin is the best bet at 6. I don't agree that he is.

Assuming Lomax is unfit, I think my team would be:

Wellens
Foster
Gidley
Meli
Gardner
Roby
Smith
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Puletua
Wilkin
Flannery

Soliola
Moore
Maurie
Clough

dont like the look of that, roby at SO and only 1 prop on the bench, plus you droped lomax

He's already said 'assuming Lomax is injured', hence why he hasn't put Lomax in the team...

Clough is a prop. Puletua can spell there - he plays like a prop anywhere in the pack.

fear the V, clough is a second rower and always has been, when he was bugger he cover prop for one or two games

I do hope you are having a laugh!
(it only says lomax is "doubtful" on sporting life - is he definately out?)

Clough was a second rower.

Would you same his game is more prop or back row?

Thats what I was told yesterday... ask anyone on here my sources aren't often wrong but I hope he is on this occasion
