Playing Wellens at 1 is as good as throwing the towel in. It would be suicide against Wigan.
I'm shocked that people are still suggesting this course of action.

Indeed. It almost cost us the game against Salford and Wigan have a better kicking game than they do. With Puletua out, it would be a nightmare watching the likes of Laffranchi and Perry try to get the ball out of the 40 once Wello had picked it up on the goalline. We would be destroyed. |

One thing to bear in mind is that because we dont know the likely lineup, neither will Wigan.
That will make their preparations against us that bit harder, and therefore in theory it will be harder for them to work out tactics to nullify our attack, while at the same time exploit our weaknesses defensively.

Nothing special. Made about two decent runs so far as I can remember.

| Post here by Chairmaker in Puletua thread sums up why we should not be looking for wello to play fullback. I would have stolen it but that would have made me feel dirty 
Quote The Chair Maker="The Chair Maker"Lomax should play fullback.
Last night Salford killed us by merely kicking the ball deep and forcing Wellens to slowly turn and bring the ball back.
His lack of pace meant on two or three occassions we were trapped in goal, and at other times having to bring the ball out from under our own sticks.
If Lomax had been at fullback i dont think we would have dropped out once.
Put simply if Lance is out then we play Gaskell or someone else at stand off. Possibly Swift if he is fit.
Lomax has to play fullback, otherwise Wigan with Matty Smith will merely punt the ball downfield and then tackle us to death close to our line. This wil tire out our pack and Wigan will come away with an easy victory.'" |

Even with Lomax injured, Wellens should be NOWHERE near the No.1 shirt anymore. Makinson, Swift, Gaskell and Ashe should all be considered before him now.

Agree with the sentiment slight typo.
Seems funny after all the "I will play elsewhere for the team" that his first game he goes straight
back to FB and is talked up for the FB shirt for El classico.
Time to cut the cord. |
