| Quote: Sthelens RLFC "IF we had to move Wello from full back, and I'm not advocating that we should just stick with Wello if something better comes along, then I'd rather Lee Gaskell played there. I'd love to see him hitting the line with his rangey running style. Think he'd be a revelation there if he was up to the defensive aspect of the job.
Hohaia would be no upgrade on Wellens. I'm sure he's better than Wello at the odd thing a full back would do but overall Wellens is still a much better option. Trying to shoehorn Hohaia into a role because he isn't cutting the mustard in the role he was signed to play isn't particularly fair on Wello.
I know Wello has his limitations. There are other options at Saints as well to replace him in Gaskell, Swift and Makinson. Hohaia wouldn't even be in my thinking.'"
I thought the topic was swift but here we go again with Wello bashing.
Fact is, Wellens has been one of our better players this season (I think he is top try scorer as well) but some think he is not worth his place. If Wellens should be dropped then 75% of the team should be given a free transfer because I'm sorry, they are just not good enough. |

Some fans can't see the wood for the trees though. They see fall over the line tries being scored as a player contributing well to the attack and they see a player not dropping bombs or knocking on as a player being good defensively.
In reality Wello is at that stage of his career where most of the game just passes him by as he's not able to keep up or get into the right position. He's no more than solid now and is definitely holding us back. |

 I'm defending Wello. |

Well if he can play prop, second, row, wing, centre of half back as well as any of those he's welcome to move there. What is it that's stopping you from seeing the issues he has that contribute to the overall effectiveness of our attacking gameplan? Why can you not see them? |

Perhaps he isn't blind to the fact that our problems are more to do with pedestrian ball from poor halves than who is on the end of it? |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Or the slow, poor distribution from dummy half? |
