If that's the 19 then the 17 should be unchanged from the Cas game. I can't see Shaul getting back with Rankin in the form he is.

Despite missing Walsh and Wilkin, Saints stiil have a strong squad. No doubt Burns will have a good game and McDonnell will probably score.

Lineham has taken Shaul's seat on the naughty step.

Surely based purely on ability Lineham has to be in for Micheals.

If no injuries , then it has to be to same 17 as like week from that squad.

If lineham isn't injured it seems strange to drop our top scorer for a couple of defensive lapses down to positional play

He did the same thing with Ben Crooks - ignored the fact that he was our most dangerous attacking weapon, and focussed on some positional lapses!

Lineham and Naughton should be the wingers, no doubt about it

Difference is Lineham's prepared to suck it up and graft to get back in, Crooks wasn't

Or maybe lineham is leaving and he's not bothered for 1/2 a season?
