Flanagan will be on bench before flannery.

Personally if you are going to play a back on the bench, I think Wheeler will get the nod over Gaskell ashe covers more spots more adequately.

I'd prefer the triangle of Lomax, Lance and Gaskell to be on the pitch at the start, therefore negating the need for the back on the bench, that way you can stack the bench with 3 props and a 2nd rower during the season. ie LMS, Clough, young prop, Flanaghan.

If we are going to drip feed the young props into this team proper, doing it with 2 other props on the field to start with will help no end.

I think we have a very flexible squad but we need to vary it up each week to give the young props the game time they will need if they are called on later in the season to fill in fulltime.

Shadows, that all sounds way too sensible.

Gaskell will get the bench spit infront of wheeler.

Gaskell will be in the seventeen for is kicking game plus I cant see lance and loma going together as a good half back pairing they both have the same game
