=redExtracted from a article on www.saintsrlfc.com
Lee Gilmour and Jason Cayless trained on Monday and Potter reckons both have a good chance of playing.
Francis Meli has not arrived in the country yet and a decision on his replacement is still to be made.
“We’re still debating that,” Mick says, “and I will talk to the senior players to see which way we will go from there.
“But both Tom Armstrong and Jamie Foster can play. They have done well in pre-season and have acquitted themselves well. If they get the nod they will not be out of their depth.
“It’s likely I will call up Andrew Dixon and Matty Ashurst too into the 19-man squad. Tony Puletua will start.”

You normally run us closer with a under-strength team i.e the 17-16 towards the end of last season

saw a rumour (maybe on here, maybe on redvee) from someone who knows him, that Foster has been told he is starting at centre.
That could either mean Gilmour on the wing, or Foster/Armstrong as the new partnership.

Foster/Armstrong partnership, go for it Mick.
Also id expect TP to perhaps start at prop and have Clough as SR.
Vinnie Anderson out again, has he played in any Saints v Wire games since he left us?
Louis Anderson out for them is a big help as he is one of their best players i think.

If Foster and Armstrong started as the Centre/Wing partnership I'd expect either Gilmour or Puletua to be on that side as the Second Rower as they can handle possible increased defensive duties. Gilmour has been a top tackler at Saints since Joynty left and I think Im right in saying Puletua was often Penrith's top tackler? It would make sense anyway?

Would that not be a massive gamble?
I heard a lot of the "Foster needs to bulk" up comments and took them with a pinch of salt given that this is half the problem in why we are not producing quality backs, but with Foster it really is a good point.
To pair him up with another youngster would be asking for trouble in my opinion, even as solid as Armstrong looks |

I agree its a monumental gamble, but having Gilmour at Centre really doesnt sound good to me (see Flannery's performances against Wire in centre position in previous seasons as evidance).
I think that they would be able to handle the defense side but attacking we might lose options.
Its worth a gamble though isnt it? |

Hmmm... If Foster is as much as a propsect as what the experts say, then maybe. You could also argue that you would 'reclaim' some of the points you may lose to their defensive mistakes with his excellent kicking as he does look like the best kicker I have seen since Botica.
Plus he is also a young British player making his way, so it would be good to see Saints bring another player through to a position where GB rugby really is at its poorest (probably for a long, long time) as opposed to putting Flannery there which would be a poor, Noble-esque option. |
