Apparently not.

We will all be upset if you are not right.

On the Wigantoday site he is quoted as saying "I have no doubts we have a team in there, and when we get everyone back on deck, we'll be fine. Hopefully we'll get Bailey and Richards for Saturday." ([urlhttp://www.wigantoday.net/warriors/Noble39s-trio-return-hope.5005244.jp[/url)

Note the telling omission?
We'll see.

Backline will be:

Roberts
Ainscough
Goudling
Carmont
Richards
Smith
Tommy

I doubt Nobby will play Ainscough and Goulding together.

I can see Pat going to FB and Roberts playing outside Goulding.

...Or, Bailey at centre instead of Goulding.

Something needs to be done about the right side of defence.

Goulding & Tim Smith playing together



Although I have been Hyper critical of Goulding in the past regarding his defence I do feel a little sorry for him at present due to the Smith Factor.

SMith may as well hold a sign up saying "This way Please" at the moment.

The missing link last week was Phil Bailey, he defends in that channel. He will be back Saturday.

Exactly, the overpaid Australian second row (according to the experts on here), who when doesn't play Wigan ship in a shedful of points.

You know how much stick your going to take for that one from some on here!



He would be in my team every week AND he would have been used at Centre a Lot more over the last 12 months especially against certain teams who attacj channels well i.e Saints/Warrington/HKR.

My main concern is that he then gets caught trying to do 2 x jobs because of Smith.

PS

Surely Hansen HAS TO START????

Am I the only person to think that Hansen isnt good enough?

But could Hansen not do the same job if given the chance to start a match?

He's still overpaid though, isn't he?
