Personally I think it's a sad reflection on the way the club has gone that we have to rely on other players getting suspeneded for one of our youngsters to get a chance in the first team. But in the intrest of S Tomkins getting a game I hope Mcllourm get a 1 game ban. Although even if he does I suspect Noble would rather us Lockers, Roberts or even Mathers at 6 before Sam

Sad
Tbh I still dont see much in that tackle - just two players going in at different heights in different directions. Then again he IS irish

Correct,he played 6 against Wakey at home won 8-4 and came on at 9 against Wire at home won 38 -14

As much as I have myself criticised Noble over his lack of bringing youngsters through he is still a good coach IMO and will see that O'Loughlin as a SO is a poor choice and his kicking game against Castleford should have emphasised this.

Noble, when needed to admittedly, has played Joel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Chris Tuson & Shaun Ainscough in games when we have been short of numbers.

I will expect Tomkins to figure in some capacity this weekend but if, as a lot of people on the board here suspect, Noble goes with O'Loughlin at SO or another alternative and it doesn't work, serious questions will need to be raised.

Save your surplus cash for dave's extortionate fees...

Correct, questions would need to be.
