I think brown will go 1 of 2 rather leave lance 6 and put flash 9 or play turner 6 lance 9 Percival 3

However I'd go with Gaskell 6 lance 9 with speakman on bench

Lance should go there, his pure flexibility in terms of positions he can play is starting to pay dividends

If there is an indicator of the future of Gaskell, I reckon Brown will put Gaskell at 6 and Lance at 9.
A good promising game at 6 for Gaskell might project him into the Wigoon game, if not Lance will play at 6 and Flanagan at 9.
At the moment we don,t have a lot of injuries but more options on selection.

I think we are assuming Roby will be out for quite a few games, hopefully he will be back for the challenge cup campaign.

Gaskell is playing for Rochdale again this weekend so I very much doubt he will be playing for Saints next weekend. He hasn't even progressed to Whitehaven yet!

I would imagine Flanagan will play at 9 and everyone else will stay the same.

I think Brown will go Turner to 6, and Lance to 9.

Ant walker is injured as well. He had his foot in a cast today .

Gaskell in centres for Rochdale today

I'd say lance will play hooker and Gaskell will play at 6. That's the simple solution with less disruption.

All being well, robes will be fit but I don't think so.

If puts turner 6 then Gaskell centre he having field day today so far

Wellens in at 9. One week to settle in and then get through Easter. Rest as you were.

Baring further injuries can't see Gaskell getting a first team
game prior to his departure to Salford, Hudds or Hull.

Gaskell full length

Gaskell at 6 Hohaia at 9. Simple as...

Lomax
Gardner
Jones
Turner
Meli
Gaskell
Wilkin
Laffranchi
Hohaia
McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Manu
Soliola
Flanagan

Bench

Wellens
Puletua
Perry (due back this week???)
Walmsley

Still a very strong side that will beat Salford this week and I wouldnt be at all suprised if we went to Wigan and turned them over too. Bench very strong and powerful...

I know we are talking about 6 and 9 but Walker has justified his place in the team and will likely keep it for as long as he is playing well. Walmsley also seems to have been identified as a specialist starting prop. If Perry is back then his is likely to start also.

Walker Im told is injured and out for a few weeks. Personally I wouldnt start Perry as I believe Laffranchi and McCarthy-Scarsbrook are doing well upfront first up. Perry and Walmsley on the bench for me.

Swift mentioned on saints twitter feed.

Ashe played hooker for hornets yesterday.

Two more options.

I think up front depends on who you are playing.

Warmsley was fine against Wakefield. You can afford to have a running prop starting against Wakefield, especially when you have the opposite in a tackling forward like Walker at loose forward.

However against Warrington, I'd suggest that it LMS was chosen as a starting prop as he brings some good go forward along with high defensive duties.

Horse's for course as they say.

Not really fussed about Perry coming back. Whilst he can turn it on when he decides he can be bothered, I would prefer to see more game time given to Greenwood, Hand, Walmsley and Walker (when fit).

When we signed Perry, I went on a Manly forum to ask about him. The response was that, when he had something to prove, he was an awesome prop, but the seasons he was settled (essentially in the middle of his contracts), he'd not be turning up.
Play it smart over the next couple of weeks to make it clear he's not a shoe in, given the way the young lads have been performing, then when he gets his chance, perhaps he'll release the beast. When he does perform he is a very formiddable player. Unfortunately, its only been in 25% of his games.

Would seem the simplest solution although it means our ruck will be snail speed

Seemed fine V Wakefield

Turner 6 and Hohaia 9. I reckon Browny will opt for.
Bring Flash on as a replacement hooker. You could then kick Turner back out to the centres, move Hohaia to 6 and move say Soliola from his starting centre position onto the bench. That'd be a nightmare but you never know with NB.

Gaskell isnt in the plan, simple as. Something must've happened in the background that is keeping him back. The future looks bleak for him at Saints.

Gaskell isn't good enough at stand off. Took Brown 3 games to figure it out. I want to see him tried in the , could do a job there.

That's funny it took brown three games to see Gaskell ain't good enough he got m o m in one of them in two papers brown would of worked out that 1 - 17 wasn't good enough after three games they was a lot worse then lee Gaskell in them games who never got dropped and if roby was fit I wouldn't have Gaskell in the team

Gaskell to 6, Hohaia to 9. It'll be interesting to see what Gaskell can do with an experienced player in a bit of form alongside him rather than an inexperienced player that was stinking the place out and with the extra space that Lomax at full back gives everyone else.

It's getting to last chance saloon time for him though, if he gets the chance he needs to step up and take it.
