This makes me sad.

Very, very sad.

Browm might see the option.......Howarth was a scrum half, so if selected could play there with Wilkin moving over to 6.

Why not Howarth at 6. 6 does not really do anything for us so would there be much difference???

I think we're stuck with Wellens at 6 for the foreseeable future. Brown doesn't seem to think there's a problem with him playing there.

Lance is at stand off tomorrow.

Better than Wellens, but not brilliant.

Can I play Hooker then and role the years back 23 years

According to a poster on redvee the team is as follows:

Makinson, Gardner, Turner, Jones, Meli, Hohaia, Wilkin, LMS, Howarth, Laffranchi, Soliola, Puletua, Wellens.
Subs: Clough, Walmsley, Greenwood, Percival

I can't see Percival being on the bench, don't see much point having an outside back on the bench.

Percival is on the bench.

Makinson
Ade
Turner
Jones
Meli
Hohaia
Wilkin
Laffranchi
Howarth
Lms
Sia
TP
Wello

Walmsley
Clough
Percival
Greenwood

Maybe Brown is going to do swapsies between Jones and Percival, shunting Jones into second row for a spell? No idea why he would do that but I just thought I'd have a wild stab at it.

I'm sure you are right, but in a team with quite a few flaws already, I've not been impressed with Howarth's lack of class and contribution since he arrived.

Still can't agree or understand with that swap/loan deal with Gaskell going when the alternative is Wello/Hohaia & Wilkin at the halves

Eden, Hall, Welham, Salter, D. Hodgson, Burns, Dobson, Paea, J.Hodgson, Walker, Lovegrove, Paterson, Griffin.
Subs: Mika, Beaumont, Carlile, Green

As Pete said for us: Makinson, Gardner, Turner, Jones, Meli, Hohaia, Wilkin, LMS, Howarth, Laffranchi, Soliola, Puletua, Wellens
Subs: Greenwood, Walmsley, Percival and Clough.
Saints FB/Twitter has Howarth at 6, Wellens at 7, Hohaia at 9 and Wilkin at 13 though
