Roberts looks short on match fitness but that will come. He made one big error on Friday night and hopefully he'll learn from that but he also came up with some very good bits of play. He swept up a couple of dangerous kicks in the first half against Hull and made a few good runs.

As ever alot of people made judgments on new players far too early. He needs chance to settle in as does Riddell.

Pat should have been full back on Friday.

Perhaps would of been more sensible to let him settle in on the wing rather than at full back in his second game?

Another Noble error.

I'd said that in the week leading upto the game because Roberts didn't look fit enough in the Wakey game to be moved to a position where he'd have to do alot more running.

I didn't get why he started there only for us to move Pat there later on and then Goulding.

Nobby needs to pick one on Friday and stick to his call.

I wasn't there on Friday, but can I ask - how was Goulding at fullback?

I think that 95% of Wigan fans would have put Richards at full-back but Noble seems to think differently.

Did well. I can only remember him taking one high bomb but no mistakes.

It's just I had never considered him in that role before. Would free up Noble to play Richards-Carmont-Pryce-Roberts in the threequarters like he wants to in the future if he was any good at it I suppose. Would still rather see him as a regular in the centres tho

Apart from the poor attempt at a cover tackle for the last try.

Against Cusack who is a Prop and almost twice as big as Goulding, and he had the angle on him.

In fairness to Noble Roberts came over with a reputation of being a very good fullback. I think I'm right in saying he played a lot of his games at fullback for Sydney. With this is mind he probably wanted to make use of Richards aerial threat which we did during the match.

[sizeCan't believe I just stuck up for Brian Noble[/size

He did a great impression of a Richie Mathers turnstile tackle to let in one of Hull's tries.

Did he not get sent off in the process?

TBH All of our players are when it comes to containing breaks - we need to work on that a LOT. Looking on the superleague website it seems most of our players mess up easy tackles when the opposition get cocky, maybe excluding Hansen, J.Tomkins, Richards?
