Quote: apollosghost "I think next week for Saints will show where you are at the minute, no way were you going to put in a performance last night like you did against Cas but backing last night up against Wire is going to be a big ask at the best of times.
We all know you're getting Walmsley Batchelor and Knowles back in the next few weeks which will take a lot of pressure off your young lads, big question though is does Wellens know what your best 1 6 7 is because that's going to be the key to you doing anything this year, get that right and I certainly won't be writing Saints off'"
I think we will lose next week, and probably end up finishing 4th if I had to guess, so we'll certainly be doing it the hard way. Think the lads will be drained after last night, especially with only 1 bloody sub being used! Could change if we get any bodies back but I've not seen anything about that happening.
As for the best 1 6 and 7, I'm not sure what the answer is at all but I don't think Wellens will be dropping Lomax like he did with Dodd. I'd really like to see 1 Robertson 6 Welsby 7 Dodd 9 Clark with Burns on the bench actually getting a good rotation to see how that looks, but I don't see it happening. With Mbye back next week, I think we'll see Robertson miss out with Welsby back to fullback and Mbye/Lomax in the halves. It's tough to say after everything he's done for us, but this year seems a year too far for Lomax. He doesn't look effective in either attack or defence and is doing us more harm than good this year.
