I agree.
Or Ainscough could take up the trampoline because I once read that that's how Hampson became such an expert under a high ball and he was small in stature.

i thought you were being sarcastic as i was reading that, got a wierd image of him just pulling a mini trampoline into the in-goal area to try and beat matt king! haha

I like his bravery and his effort but he is simply not good enough if we wana challenge for silverware.

Would he get anywhere near St Helens, Leeds or even Hull Kr? Not a chance

Therefore we shouldnt want him

When Hampo was at Wigan he used to spend hours every week on the trampoline, thats why he was such a good fullback under the high ball

I'd have him in the KR team over Colbon.

I like him and I think hes got alot of room for improvement.

Noble is Mr Safe and this type of coach would usually go for Pat at the back who is as safe as you can get. I think the fact he is playing Phelps ahead of Pat at the back speaks volumes about Phelp's potential.

Hes brave, he shows heart and to be fair hes got a bit of pace and class about him. IMO hes earned himself a contract to stay here till the end of next season.

You get rid of players who are underperforming or detioriating with you do not get rid of young players doing a good job improving game by game and put in 100% regardless of whether they come from Ince or Sydney.

...or does he not trust Ainscough?

I never fully understood the logic behind that. It's not as though he was ever likely to be in a game situation where a trampoline was readily available for him to leap above his opponents.

then you could play Phelps on the wing...this isnt about Ainscough.

It's about Phelps, Famous Amos, Richards and Ainscough.

4 into 3 doesn't go!

Nobby has gone safety first picking Phelps IMO

Exactly.

Honestly

Its about improving your muscles in jumping. Jumping on a trampoline as harder then on grass and will improve your muscles. It's like running on the beach is harder then on grass. So by spending hours jumping on a trampoline and getting stronger that way will make it easier when you need to challenge for a high ball.

I think a lot of Basketball players do it, also some tie weights to their ankles to strength their jump.
