was it not lomax and gaskell at half when we beat leeds so just shows they can do and we will find out how good they are in the next four weeks then we can judge them

Yes I think it was but I dont think they could do it in the pressure of the play offs or challenge cup. Leeds to be fair have been hit and miss this year.

if they get the chance thats the only way we will find out and i think gaskell will be in for the next five weeks a least

I think Leon will be playing in the next 3 weeks.

leon will prob be back in three week but cant see him playing in the half more chance at centre

Soon as he's fully fit he'll be straight in at 6.

i aint saying he wont but we have to get him fully fit first which the last time that happened was nearly 12 months ago is there any news on is scans yet

I would like to formally eat my words. Last night's performance from Gaskell was nothing short of phenomenal and showed me that there is a spark. If he pull that out again I would be delighted.

Fair enough, that would seam a more balanced approach. I can also see an arguement now for Pryce at fullback. I love Wellens and he is legend. But Pryce may offer some more potency on the returns.

I will choose to be gracious at this point.

When Leon is eventually fit he should be named as the substitute back for a while and eased into things.

I concur.

We may even have the luxury of giving him a couple of games in the reserves to get him up to match fitness. Pryce when fit should start at six, gaskell would probably drop into the reserves as I think if wheeler is fit, he'd be better on the bench as he can player more positions. Gaskell has done well, but people forget just how good Leon was last season alongside Kyle before their respective injuries.

As for next year, assuming Leon goes, as expected. I'd like to see gaskell out on loan with the option to be recalled should we have a similar injury crisis

Gaskell has done really well and deserves to stay at 6. just keeps turning up and providing
a little more with each game.
Was impressed on friday with his "D" as well as his running and kicking game.

Pryce on the bench for a couple of games is a sensible idea.

Pryce to FB till he goes at the end of the season is spot on. Moving Wellens is taboo
but does not mean it is wrong.

The right side attack really needs looking at. Saints have bought a GB strike centre
who has a young bloke with gas outside him and they never get a pass.
Everything goes down the left. I think wilkin deserves some credit as he uses
the ball well and gets his centre running where possible. Sia might be buldozing yards
in contact but he is stifling anything outside.

Therefore moving Sia to a LF battering ram role and Wellens to right SR would be
an approach.
