Leeds score tries with ease it seems and IMO the best centre in the league Joel Moon has only scored 3 tries and didn't score his first try until the 8th game of the season(ever present in the team),would you have dropped him??

In nearly every super league game of every round, a winger is guilty of this, wingers just cant resist, happens in NRL games to. If Lineham is fit, he plays surely! Unless its for another reason, which is been kept in house, then no one can comment on that

He dropped Lineham after our best victory of the season.
I still think Yeaman should have made more effort to get back to the try and catch the ball on the full.
If fit Lineham should be in, miles better than Micheals, who for me is one of the most average overseas players we have signed in the last few years, I just don't see what he brings to the team.

For me Lineham if fit should play and Naughton should keep his place after his performance.
The two players who should be feeling the pressure to perform and show some attacking threat are Yeaman & Michaels as their try scoring return this season is pitiful.
Yes Lineham made a couple of mistakes but if he is going to punish players for mistakes and drop them, then it should count for all of players.
Yeaman made no attempt to whatsoever to deal with Ratchfords kick or the advancing Monaghan, also against Cas there were two or 3 occasions that he came out the line and missed the player leaving a massive gap which so nearly cost us dearly. As for Michaels he's ok but thats it nothing more (waste of an oversee's spot imo) and doesnt offer what Lineham or Naughton do. The same goes for Yeaman when comparing him with Talanoa & Sa.
Would much rather see Lineham & Naughton as our wingers with Sa & Talanoa as the centres and think that is our strongest backline both in an attacking sense and defensively.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Great post and I think anyone would struggle to argue with anything you have said.
Talanoa for me has been a revelation at centre, playing that position really plays to his strengths and nullifies his weaknesses.
I really hope he continues to play there no matter what happens to the wing position.

What do you reckon your team will line up like?
And what has happened to the Saints forum, it's like a ghost town?
