I don’t think a kicker matters at all to be honest given who Saints are up against. A lack of a recognised kicker will merely keep the score down.

Lomax to Full Back, Richardson to the halves with Fages. Don't see the point in risking Welsby regardless of whether it is Halifax or not. Richardson has played enough this season for it not to be that much of a disruption.

I didn’t think he had a particularly great game that night to be honest. Seemed to remember he put a couple of balls down and kicked dead twice. Remember Lomax and Coote having good games. Not sure if I’m mixing my games up there.
Wakefield in the Cup I thought he played well. I thought he was much more controlled than in the other games he’s played this year.
If I’m honest though, I’d like to see Welsby get a go but I think he will go with Richardson.
Holbrook does seem to like to give young players a run for a few games rather than moving the squad around so I suspect for the Halifax game he may well stick with Welsbyand see how he goes.
If we'd have been playing Hull or Wire he most probably would have gone for one of the safer options
This is probably the only the second debate like this we've had all year as an injury in any other position is normally a straight swap because our squad depth is so good
Re reading JH last interview re Saturday... he has not actually said Coote is 100% out.
“I have a couple of ideas [to fill in at full back if Coote doesn’t play].
Could he be playing games?
No disrespect to Halifax but I don’t think we need to be playing mind games or keeping them guessing. To be fair to Holbrook he’s a straight talker normally and I don’t recall him playing games with player availability in the past. Not sure why he’s start that now.
I’d be absolutely amazed if Coote plays.
Was rumoured last night on the Saints fans facebook group that Coote is out for six weeks. Hopefully nonsense!
