Got rid of most of that crew thank God.We seem to be playing with a bit more passion now.

Wellens is too slow and should be moved to 13.



Gilmour and Long shouldn't have gone, both had 2 good years left in them at least.



Puletua to interchange with Fa'asavlau.



Soliola and Fozzard shouldn't have been signed and Moore should have been loaned out for this season also untill KFC retires.



Meli and Flannery should be binned off too.



My team if I were Saints coach.



1- Lomax/Pryce

2- Gardner

3- Gidley

4- Pryce/Gilmour

5- Wheeler

6- Eastmond

7- Long

8- Graham

Yes but we could run from deep, maybe even a dummy runner or two.

Just a tiny little bit of imagination would do . We must be the easiest team to defend against as we offer no deception at all.

Your right about our pace obviousley but were strugling to score from ten out nevermind full lengthers.

Funny, I got a lot of flack for suggesting Pryce should play centre (for England). He's a great athlete with strength and speed and he does have good hands. What he is not is a great stand off. As others have said I'd doubt he'll be the best partner for Eastmond as well.



Remember though, this is game 1 of a very long season. We all know that some sides that have started well this year will drop off alarmningly at some stage as injuries bite and also as we hit drier firmer pitches.

SOLUTION ? SIMPLE, LETS POACH " THE WIZZARD " AGAIN FROM LEIGH

I have always said Pryce is a good 'player' not a good 'stand off', he will never be a stand off as long as he has a hole in his @r5e.

Pryce aint the only player not playing well! I've forgot the last time KC, gidley, flannery, wilkin and few others played well but all the slagging off is aimed at pryce.



We've got a current england international who's had one good game for saints over the last 3 years but always gets backed on here.

you missed one faasavalu and to be fair on gidley he doesnt get much ball but agree with the rest

I did say few others as well. To be honest i could have listed the whole squad.



Just think that pryce is getting all the $hit when the whole team has played crap since potter took over.

apart from graham you could

If I was Saints coach I'd pick :



Wellens

Gardner

Gidley

Pryce

Meli

Wheeler

Eastmond

Graham

Cunningham

Puletua

Soliola

Wilkin

Roby



Moore

Fozzard

Flannery

Fa'asavalu

Watched the game again, you seem to missing an organiser, eastmond might one day make a fantastic 7, but at the moment his game is all about running, so would be suited IMO more to 6.



I always liked the look of Matty Smith when he played for Saints, thought he also did a good job last season for CC, when he played.



If Smith was still at Saints yiu could play him 7, Eastmond 6 and Pryce at centre. If salary cap was the reason for him being loaned out, dont renew Cunningham as you have two great young hookers ready to take over.

The team seem to be playing like they want rid of the coach. Time will tell if that is the case.

I think Pryce gets unwarranted character based criticism (lazy, greedy etc.), but the reason he's taking flak is that he's filling an absolutely crucial position in the side. With a more natural stand off the rest of the players you mention might have more space and time to do their thing.
