Oh dear. Least dynamic 6 of all time . If he could stay fit it would be Wheeler for me but I suspect as you do it will end up being Lance, mainly because we cant find any team dumb enough to take him off us.

The last 3 or 4 games Lance did "reasonably" well at 6 and Brown made the statement that he is now finding a way to play him in the team.
So I would imagine Lance will be 1st choice 6, don,t think we can consider Wheeler he is really when fit a utilty player now.
Hope Charnock gets more game time with perhaps Lance operating at 9 giving Roby some spells to the bench.

I have gone for Lance. He is the best player on that list. Not a very good list though is it.

I'm glad to accept the label of idiot (it's part of our common humanity to be idiots, after all), but I don't accept the reason for the diagnosis in this instance. I did not, do not and will not big up Wellens as a stand off. I just misinterpreted St Pete's statement about Wellens not having a rugby brain and sought clarification. I've learned to respect St Pete's judgements on players and was startled by his (apparent) judgement on Wellens, for whom I have great admiration as a full back and as a man committed to play the best rugby he can for Saints. But I misinterpreted St Pete's post, as he evidently misinterpreted mine.
