Niukore will start and Brown to the bench, easy swap.
Unless BA wants a back-rower on the bench he can just start Brown. Rodwell, Maka and Oggy are all middles, putting Brown there would make it 4 middles on the bench.

"I actually think Lomax is good for us, he has that flair we lack, yes at times it doesnt come off, but under a stronger coach like BA he will be more selective. He is someone can use through fullback, wing & center. He would be worth 600-650k. If we…"

I wonder if this is one of Matto's short term injuries that becomes half the season on the sidelines.
His body is a temple, god is his compass.
Matto lucky he didn't play SOO then. There's to much to risk. He has signed hasn't he?
Was thinking the same.

It's called being injured...nice spin on the story.
Just observations of similar cases in
So are you saying after signing a new contract, he got injured on purpose or is faking it?
