It stops us blaming the outcome on injuries, I know that much.

Nope, out of favour.
Lomax/Lance in the halves last week, same again this week. Royce's nonsensical "back on the bench regardless of circumstance" ploy binned too, which means he won't sit on the bench for 78 minutes then get a run out.

Ta. It seems to be the Saints way these days that a young player's ability gets blown out of so much proportion by Eddie Hemmings that they fall back with a juddering halt at some point (or were never that good to start with). Tyrer, Eastmond, Foster, Gaskell.
Players like Clough, Magennis, Makinson have improved their standing more slowly.

| I'd go with Hill who I think is mobile enough and from what little I've seen of him, bloody good pair of hands for a big man.

Tyrer was never anything other than a turnstyle, Foster is very average indeed.
Personally, I still think Gaskell is a class act and will be in a Saints shirt for years to come. Makinson is a player I rate very highly indeed. Wheeler is better than the lot.
As for Eastmond, his problems aren't borne of talent but of durability.

Tyrer was always terrible.
Eastmond is the most talented scrum half the country has produced since Sean Long. Hopefully he'll return to league at some point as he doesn't seem to be making huge strides in Union very quickly.
Foster is a decent, SL quality winger. No worldbeater though, but worth a place in most 13s due to his kicking and Gaskell is a great prospect.

I read a few weeks ago that he's back home at the moment with yet another injury.
