Do you think we'll see Wello again this weekend, or perhaps someone like Charnock? We know Brown like to change it around.'"
We'll see Lance. |

Brown likes to change it around except in the halves. Hohaia will be back at six when he is fit. |

It should be his last season, no doubt about it. He still gives it everything, but I think he really struggles with the pace of the game and the defensive stint he has to do in the halves and it'd only be harder in the back row. I'm not convinced that gamble would work, although I'm sure Brown will try it - we have nothing to lose during the regular season.
You can't fault his effort and bravery for the cause though, he still gives everything and comes up with some good moments with the ball.

How many times and how many people on here have said that Lance is not a HB?

All the coaching staff seem to think he is. |

S'all part of the masterplan. Show people what it's like having Jon Wilkin and Paul Wellens in the halves, and suddenly Lance Hohaia comes across all Andrew Johns. |

| Quote: Saddened! "Is it just me or is this just difficult to watch? He was once a legendary figure who I called Mr St Helens and used to argue till I was blue in the face with Wigan fans that he was the best fullback in Super League. His performances then went through a period of decay as he got older and the role of the fullback changed dramatically. So with this season bringing the first real opportunity for fans (And staff) to see the benefit of someone else playing fullback, he's ended up as an emergency half back. In just the two games he's played there, I've seen enough to say it's a mistake. He's too slow with ball in hand and he cannot defend in the line. Today Castleford tore enormous chunks out of our right edge and it's no surprise that it was Wello defending that side. He just can't get across quick enough.
His passing game today was the full spectrum. He probably came up with two or three assists with some tremendous short balls, but then he'd put balls at players' feet and was needlessly caught with the ball on two or three occasions.
So what happens when Roby and Hohaia return? Is Brown going to have the guts to drop Wellens? Or is he going to continue with the publicised plan and play him loose forward, ahead of Flanagan who was excellent today or ahead of a big forward like Clough or TP?'"
He did more than you. You didnt even make the 17 |

Does anyone know if Swift or Charnock can kick a ball (from hand) to any decent degree? |
