Reasoning: Locke to come off the bench and play a hybrid hooker, fullback role. So we have another fullback option playing in the line. 5 potential play making options at once. Mouth watering. Tomkins to have a roving commission. To play in the line as he sees fit. Basics first though until he gets used to everyone.
Lousi becomes a first grader this season or never. It's time for both brothers to shine. Really needs to start using his size as a weapon. Has to become more aggressive.
Townsend is my first choice for the halves. Who will hopefully balance out Shaun's flash and flair. Townsend i hope will just do all the basic tasks well. Plays his natural half back role easing the pressure off Shaun. Which if occurs could be the making of Shaun as a second receiver. As Shaun is forced to play what seems to be an unnatural first receiver role. We must hope Shaun eventually learns to become the dominating half.
Decent team IMO. Should do well if everyone gels. Let us pray.
