I think that had Riddell been on the field when we had those 18 play the balls on their line we may have scored.
McIlorum was again superb defensively, and I'm a great fan of he's but as I have said many many times I believe Riddell is more creative.
I know conditions were bad last week but some of the passing from dummy half was poor.

And there always will be as on this thread which is still in it's infancy the "Fans" have already picked 5 different teams and whilst you are asking why Noble doesn't pick HIS strongest team consistantly yet other posters are saying we have a Big Squad so why isn;t he using it!!!!!!!!!
He Can't win!
and
if hansen is getting picked because of his good form in the reserves then surely Shaun deserves a run, did he not score a hattrick last week?.
yes you need to protect younger players, however at the moment Shaun has nothing to be protected from!! hes never in the squad!'"
And as above some posters want him selected every week yet still call for us to use the squad as we have a big one????
Why isn't Ainscough/Tomkins not being selected treated as them being "Rested" like when other players aren't selected?????
PS
I agree that if Carmont isn't fit I would play Ainscough etc etc but he/medical team keep declaring him fit so ??????????????????????
If he is fit he has to play I would have thought but TBH he doesn't look it to me??????

Play him instead of Richards and we have no kicker.
Play him instead of Roberts? Pointless, he won't get the ball, just like Roberts doesn't.
Play Richards at fullback and play him on the wing? A possibility but then Phelps is proving to be a decent fullback.
Who'd be a coach eh???

| play him instead of roberts easy choice!
id rest joel tomkins, seems to have done alot of work over the last month and also id drop riddell plainly because macca and sam are in better form than him.
if he does not play sam this week he deserves to be sacked before the game

That team last week was not as bad as was made out by many on here. A poor kick, a fortunate bounce and a poor (diabolical) refereeing decision proved costly. That's how close it was.'"
If thats the case then it should be the same team with no changes - injuries excepting.
IMO the only change should be S Tomkins in for Riddell.

I'm still not a big fan of Phelps at fullback. He's had one decent game there so far. Otherwise I feel he's been average.
I agree that there are too many internet coaches who are ready to jump on Noble for the slightest decision, without knowing ANY of the facts. But this business with Ainscough is getting a big bewildering. If they're genuinely concerned about his defence under the high ball, they should be working on it - and I don't mean in training, I mean in proper matches.
I only hope he doesn't drop Sam out of contention as well. Those two seemed to enthuse the entire team when they were first picked. I can't accept that they need rest now. At their age, they need more football.

This is what I don't understand with many Wigan fans. Young and Wigan does not mean they are better than their overseas counterparts.
I'd love a full team of Wigan lads, but guess what it isn't going to happen.
The other thing is that if Wigan win the Superleague and Challenge Cup with 17 ex Saints players or 17 Kolpack / Aussie/ NZ players and they are the best available would that be wrong?
Surely it's Ian Lenagans DUTY to provide Wigan with the best players he can REGARDLESS of where they come from, be it Wigan, Oldham, St. Helens China, Samoa, India, Mexico etc.
I didn't see the Man U fans complaining the other week whenthey started without a British player.

Your right about Phelps, he ran really hard at the Saints line on kick returns when he was determined to take his chance, now he's got his place he doesn't seem to interested at taking the line on, he gave it Roberts to take on a few occasions on friday.
Personally I'm disapointed to see Ainscough missing out agian, he's not going to get any better in the reserves and deserves to be in our 19, even if he's just missing out on the 17. However it's Noble's job to pick the 19 not mine, so do what you gota do for the cabbage cliche man

| Well when they do, ask them about when we tried it with Billy Melling, Terry Hollinsworth, Jimmy Hornby, Dave Walsh, Dave Regan, Ronnie Dootson etc.
It didn't work then, so why would it now?

I said it 2004ish! Brown/Robinson/Tickle/O'Loughlin/Wild/Aspinwall/Briscoe/Hock etc
You can't play them all, all of the time they would end up Punch Drunk!
As for some of our fans Moaning!
God they would moan if we had to watch those lot again! (You missed Ray Farnworth off the list as well! Them days were Bad!).
