Guess the injury he picked up early season may be worse than thought? I was told he had surgery on his ankle / knee last week.

Think I've said that I'd have gone with Handley and Lumb on the wing with Watkins and Newman in the centres. It would have been for that exact reason, to get (or try to) us on the front foot from the start of sets. I think Saints will try to kick us to death and dominate field position.

To be fair, Edghil is going to replace Hall, and the other younger outside backs are injured 

Read it on Redvee last night but no confirmation as yet although the guy who posted it seems to have good form with nuggets.
