    1. Lomax
    2. Swift
    3. Makinson
    4. Percival
    5. Grace

    That would be my backline this week.

    I'd give Swift a shot at centre before Makinson I think

    [QUOTE=RJM25R;701781]Can't LMS play at centre ?

    Centre, you've got to be joking! he's not fit enough for prop let alone centre.

    Anyone for LMS the crafty cockney is a versatile chap. Centre, prop, back row, underneath the arches the lad carries anything off.

    I would play Makinson at centre when defending and play Swift at centre when attacking with Loma linking up more on that right hand side.

    Why do people think that Makinson would be capable of passing the ball when at centre when he clearly hasn't shown any such ability (or inclination) when joining the line from full back? If he is picked to replace Morgan, I'd suggest playing without a right wing and have an extra forward on the pitch.

    People have been calling for Calvin Wellington to be given a shot all season and now a centre gets injured and everyone is on about moving every Tom Dick and Harry about. Why not go with

    Lomax
    Makinson
    Wellington
    Percival
    Grace

    You will never know how good they are until they are given a chance

    I'd like Wellington to be given a proper chance too. We threw Grace in when we needed a replacement winger and it's worked out well for him. We should try the same with Wellington in my opinion. Round pegs for round holes and all that....

    Agree.surely if a centre gets gurt then replace him with another centre from the reserves.

    Wellington has played on the right in the reserves too

    Agree with substituting like for like assuming we have a capable replacement. Wellington is well worth a try this Friday. Our hated rivals seem to do it quite well. I hope with Holbrook coming from a youth coaching background he will give him a chance.
    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    I would dearly like Wellington to get a game but I think we will see Tommy at centre and Swifty on the wing

    In all fairness we are not Rochdale (no offence to Rochdale) if we have not got an adequate replacement in the reserves or the 19's then surely questions must be asked why

    Grace has done OK despite people that watch the reserves stating that KC had it right and that he was not ready. I haven't seen Wellington other that 2 second half's and a couple of youtube clips. But we don't have much to lose by giving him a go. Just don't want to see him get pilloried if he makes a mistake, which is inevitable. Likewise I don't want to see LMS at centre.

    Hoping that when he drops the ball it'll be a sideways drop towards Makinson?

    If we put Makinson in the centres, I may as well go on the wing.

    Disclaimer: I do like Tommy, but passing isn't in his bag of tricks

    All for Wellington getting a game but only the coaches know if he's up to it. If not now then you wonder if it's never, given his age. I can only see Swift as an alternative, at least he'll be fighting to win his place back

    So you'd give Swift, the guy with the worst hands in the club, more to think about?
    You might guess i dont agree. I cant see how getting players to change positions regularly will benefit the team any more than playing someone out of position does.

    I don't think either should play centre, but in the hypothetical situation offered up of a wing combo of Swift and Makinson I'd have Swift inside TM.

    He didn't look out of place in MW16. Now he's a year older, with a stronger physique.
