Cost us the game today, why for the love of god did he rotate the Props after 18 minutes given how dominant we were, they were showing no signs of fatigue Fielden and Feka on, all momentum lost, Wire put in a match winning 20.

Shocking call.

You reap what you sow sadly.

You cannot expect to start playing rugby at the business end of the season and the passes stick combined with the subing by the clock which was the major contribution in my opinion to us losing a very winable match.

That is what cost us the game. We let in 20 points when he did this.

Shocking tactics IMHO.

Thnx jon I'm just gonna add that to my list of reasons why I want Noble out, but you are correct that was the changing point which allowed wire to build up there lead that was impossible to come back from.

Because Fielden and Feka were supposed to give us extra go-forward. Yes we was in front but we have to bring them on at some point or do you suggest leaving them on the bench for the entire game if we are winning?

This will be a short thread... Talking sense guys....Dun let it happen again... Can we get back to the vitriol please...

18 minutes is far too early. He wasn't meaning leaving them on for the whole half, but when our props are so clearly dominating and not tired why would you take them off.

If you are going to rotate props i genuinely do not understand why he then takes them both off at the same time, why not take one off so your only changing one player at a time!

Dominating?

Leave them on until they need to come off would be a start.

As i said it was obviously the plan that being 8-0 up we were going to throw Feka and Fielden on and really take the game to them since the intial sting looked to of been knocked out of them at that point. I very much doubt Noble expected F and F to be so damn terrible.

So burn them out totally in the first half?

Well lets see Fielden's been crap for about 2 years so he should have seen that one coming, and Feka well what can you say, he's got a hell of a lot of problems that need fixing.

Wouldnt happen. Water rest would be sufficient. In comparison to Morley, 18mins is shocking.

Extra go forward? Feka maybe, but Fielden is not an impact prop and offers '0' go forward. Should have started with Fielden and Prescott. Shocking tactics by Noble

The idea is Fielden will do the hard work in defence that Feka cant and Feka will punch the holes down the middle in attack.



Really makes me laugh all this Anti-Noble stuff. If he had picked Fielden to start and we had lost you would be on his back for starting with Fielden! The man cannot win no matter what he does. He has picked the players that have done so well for the past month or two end of chat.

a) Fielden has given f*ck all go forward for quite a while now, certainly if we're talking of 'impact'

b) Why bring Feka on when we're about to kick off to Warrington? In the 13 minutes he was on, I think we had one real set of six. Feka was f*cked by the time he finally got the ball.

Agree with the OP; the moment these subs were made, we lost the match.
