Mom is hardly the most powerful ball carrier himself.

Mom hasn't taken it in loads to tell, but I suspect he is a little more awkward to put down than Robert's who struggles to make the hard yards.

I think Robert's struggled for out of half yardage at the weekend, which is why they may be considering Momorovski on the wing. Need to make the metres count early on in the sets.

We signed Momski as an out and out Centre but x games in he is now a winger moving Martin back to centre?Unless Roberts is injured I don't get the dicking around like Gannon to standoff etc Round peg Round hole!

Kendall reffing. Might be to our advantage, he usually likes a fast ruck.

Let’s not start with Goudemand at prop please. He is best used off the bench or starting back row for me.

Mik and Sangare went well as opening props last week. RS needs to spell Sangare quickly enough when he tires though.

Mom on the wing is interesting; hadn’t thought of that but could make sense as we have some depth in the back row.

Momorosvki has played a fair few games in the best league in the world as a winger. Crucially, I would imagine he's far better both offensively and defensively under the high kick than Roberts. Both Leigh and Saints have benefited from his inexperience over the last couple of weeks. Seems a reasonable call to me.

If only we had Olpherts to cover right wing

Another winger on the scrap heap then, and don't get me wrong here he just isn't big enough or rapid enough likeTindall, Broadbent,A,Sutcliffe, Edward's Olpherts et al how many dudds??

Who's on the scrapheap? If you're talking about Roberts - he isn't even a winger. Of the others you mention only Tindall and Olpherts are wingers. For what it's worth I totally agree that we need a real winger to replace Fusitua next year.

Yep, spot on.

If Roberts isn't a winger, play him at centre and Mom on wing (if you want to keep Martin in the pack) or switch them for later tacklecount i.e. when a kick is expected.
Otherwise use Martin at centre and let take some of the grunt yards rather than relying on Mom to do it.
