Brown's just mentioned Wello playing loose, looks like it could happen when he's back from injury, I know people on here have been calling for it for a while.

Thank the Lord.

I miss all the red button stuff nowa days.

I would say that last year I was thinking of Wellens as a back on the bench who could play 2nd row, but loose forward could be a possible too. But would have to be balanced with what is a workhorse in Flanaghan at LF.

Eddie just asked him, would Lomax be fullback and Wellens at loose forward, Brown replied, "Got it in one". I know it's only one game, but I've got a new-found confidence!

I think this statement is a bit mixed up, 99% were not writing him off. What has been said was that he is not a half back and actually 99% wanted him to be Full Back.

That worries me, we have far better pack options than putting wello at loose.

It allows us to have 4 strong forwards on the bench though, when everyone's fit. LMS, Puletua, Flanagan and Clough/Greenwood/Walmsley would be a pretty good bench with a starting pack of Perry, Roby, Laffranchi, Soliola, Manu and Wellens. He brings experience to the pack and solid defence, we'll have to see how it goes.

He's a body, but I agree, there is no need to go dropping senior players to shoehorn him in there. If he is to move to the pack, it's as cover for me, not a guaranteed starting position. If he turns out to be good when he gets an opportunity there, fair play, he gets in. I really don't know how he'll go there though. He can tackle, but he isn't the biggest and I'm not convinced he'll be up to making 30 tackles a match against big forwards.

Yes we mentioned it a few weeks ago, could be a good transition for both Wellens and the team. Don't think he would do a full game though, Wellens and Flan to share the 13 spot.
Saddened might be worried though, could Wellens turn out as being the "fastest" loose forward in superleague.

Normal service resumed in Wire/Saints games. Warrington well and truely taught a lesson.

Yet another win at the HJ racked up.

Up to 5th now, level on points with Warrington and Bradford.
