Extracted 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.”

Rumours in Wireland,

Players out,

Morley
Briers
Clarke
Reardon
V Anderson
L Anderson

Looks like another understrength wire team will be put to the sword.

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.

We should be fully fit, minus Clarke and Reardon.

Rumours surrounding Briers, Anderson2, Morley? are just that.. rumours.

Im my opinion we will line up like this

Hicks
Johnson
Gleeson
King
Penny
Briers
Monaghan
Morley
Higham
Rauhihi
Anderson
Westwood
Anderson

Carvell
Wood
Grix
<An Other>

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
