no way Eastmond should play next week-restricts us to 16 players .Too injury prone

Flannery is in the team twice? Id put puletua in the team and have clough in the 2nd row and wilkin to 13 to replace the 2nd flannery.



Completely agree with the half back choices too!



Also just noticed soliola is in the team twice too. I'd have Gardener on the wing and soliola in the 2nd row.



Good luck Saints

I'd go with...



Wello

Foster

Gidley

Meli

Gardner



Lomax

Smith



Hargreaves

Cunningham

Graham

Wilkin

Soliola

Flannery.



Roby

Clough

Puletua

Emmitt.

I agree we cant go with eastmond in the grand final next week as we will prob be down to 16 because Kyle can't finish a game.



But.....



Lomax also goes off injured every week, so why have people picked lomax at 6 but won't risk Kyle playing?



IMO we can't risk any of them and should go with roby at 6 and smith at 7.

No he doesn't. You must watch a different Saints team to the rest of us!





Because he is good and people are assuming he is fit for the sake of conversation or out of the hope that he is.

Lomax was fit but not picked Friday, so why will potter pick lomax is Kyle is fit?



Both are injury prone and lomax has not played since he limped off against cas about a month ago.



By the way your attitude to other peoples posts is a fu***** joke!

Kyle is our first choice no.7. If Kyle is fit, he will be chosen as no.7 over everyone. But you can't have two number 7s on the pitch, as we found out on Friday and you acknowledged. However, Kyle hasn't been fit for weeks but Potter seems incapable of accepting that fact and so persists in playing him when he is unfit, causing untold problems to Kyle and the team, and much frustration to the fans. If Lomax was about to play in the Grand Final then that suggests he may well be fit. He may not either. Frankly, I don't trust Potter to make the right decision when it comes to fitness. But I think I suggested in my halfback pairing as having Wilkin with Smith again simply because we coped with that and it allowed Smith to do what he does best: organise and kick. Having an unfit first choice no.7 on the pitch with him was always going to cramp his style. But I'd happily go with Roby at 6, Smith at 7, and Moore interchanging with Cunningham. However, too much change - again- just before the Grand Final might not be such a good thing. Not that making unnecessary changes for a knock out match appears to bother Potter much.





Lomax limped off during the same match as Kyle hobbled off. Prior to that, Lomax had played for three consecutive matches, if memory serves, having returned from the quad strain injury that re-emerged to take him back off again. But he doesnt, as you suggested, limp off [iin every game[/i





You are drunk. Go mumble to yourself somewhere.

Wow, he played 3 in a row!



So you say Kyle should play because he's our first choice 7 but you've banged on all week about how smith should play.



IMO we shouldn't pick any of them, they are both injury prone and both not 100% fit!



How many times as lomax played at 6 for us?



Roby at 6 and smith at 7.

No. I didn't say that at all.



I said that Kyle will be chosen over everyone because he is our first choice no.7.



I'm not getting drawn into an argument with you when you appear to be drunk. It's pointless.



I will say that I don't want Kyle anywhere near the pitch on Saturday. I would love to see Lomax at 6 if he is really and truly fit. And I want to see Smith at 7 so he is allowed to play his game, which we may well be very grateful for come the end of the match.



And that's all from me. Goodnight.

Goodnight.



I am drunk but still right

I'd play Lomax if he struggles at half back play him elswhere and juggle things a bit as been suggested above



He's got great talent and could make a big impact. Interesting that he was pulled from the u21 final. I'd be surprised if he doesn't play.

Better than playing Kyle who is definately struggling for fitness and his game really relies ib his speed rater that football ability.

I rate lomax pretty high but i think it's a big risk playing him at stand off in the grand final, he's not player first team rugby for a month and not played at stand off to often anyway.



I'd play roby at 6 and smith at 7, use roby as a free role and let smith run the team. We did ok with wilkin at and smith at halfback against the wolves so i'd expect the roby and smith combo to work.
