Me neither. Seems a very harsh decision. No way should Amos Roberts be in ahead of him in my opinion.

....and Riddell will just come trotting back into the 17. Bn once again picking on form, MM did nothing wrong last week but will have to make way for fat boy.

I thought many on here love Riddell?

4 tries isnt enough, especially as it happened 2 weeks ago.

same team as last week pleaseee.

But i do think Piggy will come in for McIlorum

Outrageous. How are we supose keep hold of are best prospects if you get MOM is half the games you play and still not make the 19? I think he will cross codes at this rate

The team & squad shouldn't be changed from last week, simple as.

Shaun Ainscough shouldn't play but neither should Mark Riddell.

Why change it from the team that beat Wakefeild the week before last? just utter tripe IMO

at this anti-Noble bile just a few days after he masterminded our biggest win against Saints for about 5 years.

There must be a reason Nobby is keeping Ainscough out. Ok maybe a little stint out the first team side to keep him fresh, but if Shaun doesn't feature again in this season it will be an outrage.

Yeah but its contradictory to the week before the Sts game. How or Why would you drop somebody who has scored 4 tries?

Well, the rumour is that if he plays one more game then his wages count towards the salary cap...Or something.

Noble can't seem to do anything right. I was as disappointed as anyone not to see SA in the team for Saints, but i hold my hands up. It was the right decision. As for Wakefield, we all know that Kear is a decent tactician and i'd hate to see SA get murdered by Wakey's kicking game. Seeing that it's a cup game I'm not surprised Noble has decided to leave him out.

oh that really

I personally have sympathy for Noble in respect of making these decisions, it can't be easy.

He's now got tough calls all over the place. I can see his reasoning in leaving out Ainscough from the 6 outside backs but I could equally see the logic in leaving out Amos Roberts.

Mcilorum was great at the weekend, possibly his best game ever for the club. But I am also of the opinion (and I realise I may be in the minority) that Riddell has been pretty decent in the last couple of months and does the side really want to be without his experience in the pressure of a cup game? That would be a 50/50 call for me as well.

Harrison Hansen and eventually Eamonn O'Carroll will also eventually provide further competition for first team places and this is just amongst the established first teamers, some more kids in the academy I'm sure will also start to make claims as well.

It is pleasing in the sense that this is Wigan and players should have to fight tooth and nail to get their place. This hasn't been the case whatsoever in recent years.
