I'd have to agree with that, keep eastmond in and rotate him with Longy. Cloughy, Graham and Tony P can all do 60 mins so two props on the bench should be fine |

When is Wellens gonna go in for surgery? I would imagine it to be soon, after MM (?), because he will be back to full fitness for the summer months surely. He had a really heavy limp on Monday after the game.

I know but a lot of teams with less fit forwards would be tempted to go for three big forwards on the bench, we seem to be well ahead of most other sides fitnesswise. |

Mmm, but for the very same reason, I'd go for Eastmond's pace and impact against what may be a very tired defence. |

Exactly, the lad seems fearless at running at defences and needs some game time if he's to take over from longy permanently |

Not taking anything away from Wello, but at the moment we can afford to do without him. Perhaps we are waiting until after the CC against cats, its the only game on the horizon that we cant afford to loose |

Wellens should go for the op mate to be honest! I have confidence in Lomax that he will do the job in his absence. The sooner he gets done the better and then he can be firing come the buisness end of the season. |

I don't see the point of knackering up our forwards early on in the season by making them play more than they need to.
The way the game is now, 3 forwards on the bench is a must for me for most games. |

I have too agree on this. If we go with 3 forwards in some games we will be knackered upfront come the end of the season. |

I'd go for.
Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Dean/Gilmour
Meli
Pryce
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Wilkin
Flannery
Clough
Roby
Fa'asavalu
Ashurst
Puletua
Eastmond and either Dean or Gilmour to miss out at centre. If Flannery isn't ready then him and Eastmond miss out with Gilly in the second row.

But with only 4 places avaliable and roby/Kc interchanging giving only 3, how are we going to gradually introduce a halfback to replace longy? Its a bit of a conundrum. If we play with 2 forwards + robes against the perceived "weaker teams" is a possibility, if we loose a game or two but find out that we have a true star in Eastmond it would be worth it. |

You're not wrong! Not a chance of him getting dropped. He's been in the 17 since 2004 barring injury. Been a revelation back at centre, we haven't missed big Willie at all if we are honest. |

Wht permanently or as often as every other game? They should be targetted by the coaching staff.
Who plays in the big games? Well if you thing Eastmond is good enough at the moment, why are we still paying Long? |
