In your opinion, I would play Riddell.
It's a bit like those who all wanted Ainscough in Every game yet when he is included for the Warrington Game (Albeit through inury to Carmont etc)and does nothing and is exposed You don't hear diddly Squat!
Yet it seems to be the ones who Hate (And I know that's a strong term but TBH it appears from many posters that's what they feel) Noble are also the ones who criticise EVERY decision more as a way of it being Another chance to get at Noble rather than what is best for the team/individual/club over the season.
MM had 2 x great games against Saints/Wakey in CC.
He was pretty good againsy HKR at home and then OK/Average at Wire & Salford last week.
Maybe a break would do him good for a week or so as he would almost certainly play next week with ST being away???
End of the day BN IMO should pick the team He thinks will win games.
I for one think we stand a better chance in most games with a "Starting" trio of Roberts/Smith/Riddell than Ainscough/Tomkins/MM.
That leaves 1 place on the bench & I would go for ST over Ainscough & MM.
The other 2 x will get their chance at some point and in time no doubt will get starting places if their form warrants it.
Other thing is we have 1/2 dozen people so far on this thread (And another Thousand or so experts inc me) Who if asked to pick a Team when the squad is fully fit would Pick different teams.
Noble picks His and 90% of them are unhappy for one reason or another!
