I'd put Foster at FB and Lomax at SO. |

Maybe wello's time is up but he did ok tonight. He saved some tries off Warrington kicks and put his body on the line.
Wello is great in defence, great under the high ball, reads the game well and puts his body on the line but he is very poor on kick returns and his attack ain't there anymore. |

Thats a fair point on Eastmond, as an individual performance he was quiet but not awful, all HBs have quiet games, the difference being that the off-the-ball organising, moving the team around through the forwards and building the drive and ideas that all top HBs provide was absolutly absent.
This can't be put down to individual performance, he may be 21 but hes an international at the end of the day, it has to be down to a lack of interest, a division of attention, something that ain't right in his head. |

It's tough for the saints fans who work late to get to Widnes. I know few lads who used to go straight from work but it's hard now as it's in Widnes. |

dont know why any of you are complaining about your attack yh it wasnt amazin but our defense all but the last 6 minutes was top class and you couldnt get across the line because of it. dont bash yourselves just yet i think we just had the game we have been waiting for and you couldnt do anything about it. everyone has a bad game

I agree on Wellens. For the past three years a few of us have been warning about the aging process and it has caught up with him. Yes he's still strong in the tackle but he is beyond average pace now and poses zero threat returning the ball. In the past he would usually beat the first tackler but because he is so slow now he is getting tackled quite easily. In the modern game we need a speedy guy at full back. It's too late for us to do something about it this year but we cannot afford to be in the same position next season.

We would have been humiliated if it hadn't been for Wellens last night. He was sometimes our only goal line defence. Had our team put pressure on their kickers or even run lines or played dummy runners or something, Wello would not have had such a torrid time as he did last night. I'm very glad he was there. |
