Agreed.

Just because we have a spot doesn't mean we should fill it - if Kyle leaves, I look forward to seeing Jonny Lomax play in the halves with Leon.

The fawning positivity displayed so often on here is admirable however it must be noted that neither Lomax or Wheeler are good enough for a starting spot at Saints.

But an unidentified, un-named Australian reserve grader is?

You call it fawning positivity because I thought we'd compete against Wigan where as you had us down for a 40 point hiding. One of us isn't realistic, but it certainly isn't me.

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:50 am  

Lomax has not shown any kicking or great passing ability when in the first team for me. He's shown good ability with ball in hand but we need more than that as Pryce is merely a competent rather than a good one. If we had more of an organiser playing alongside him I'd have less of a concern.

Are you saying that Pryce isn't an organiser?

I think Wheeler is. Damn shame about his body being rubbish though. As for Lomax, I'm not yet totally sure about him. He worked hard in defence on Saturday and he did help us to get a try. But he was playing in centre on that occasion. Perhaps it's because he has played all over the place that I'm not sure about him!

Both Lomax and Wheeler look like stand-offs to me in the fact they are better at 2nd receiver takinhg the ball moving.

I wonder what Jamie Ellis is thinking of himself these days?

I thought he was a full back?

What are Gaskell's credentials and a 7 as opposed to other positions?

Fullback who can play 6. Leon has spelled at 7 before, and proved last year he is an organising force at HB. We aren't short of options. 'Appen those options require us throwing someone in at the deep end.

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Wed Feb 16, 2011 10:04 am  

Leon can definitely play 7 with Lomax at 6.

Leon CAN organise. It's a lazy generalisation that he's just a runner.
