With the team above we would be inviting high kicks to the left flank and we may not be as strong on defence as I would like.

Possibly gilmour may offer more in defence at left centre, if we can spare him from the forwards.

But then Eastmond can be an asset for his speed and goal kicking.

NB.
I disagree with what some people say about speed or lack of it.

It is quite common to criticize Wellens for being slow. Actually when he gets into top pace he is not all that slow - obviously not bistering speed.

What he does not have is acceleration and that is one of Eastmonds strengths - not just speed - but acceleration - rapid change of pace and of direction.

Gilmour in Centre's when defending
Eastmond when attacking?

Or is that to much messing?

Whoever plays there they will have to be on form because Gleeson has looked on form recently

That'll do for me.
Bring it on!!!!
Let's stuff the crust muchers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since when has Gleeson been on form? He didn't do anything in their last game bar barge over a couple of tries in the middle. Nothing Eastmond will have to worry about at centre.

Personally I'd like to see Big Tony P coming off the bench but I doubt Potter will go that way

The team pretty much picks itself. Ashurst and Dixon to miss out. Let's 'ave 'em!
