Says who?

He hasn't been given a settled run in the side at the start of this season but when given the opportunity he hasn't produced the goods so far. He hasn't been awful by any stretch but just looks a little short of confidence.

He'd still be in ahead of Hansen for me though.

me ! do you want a little bet on it???? got told today from my reliable source. starting props fielden and coley.

spot on

Carmont fit?

yes but richards not playindand phelps at full back

On that note I really hope your source is talking rubbish.

So thats a midget on the wing for saints to bomb all day, a midget at full back who is yet to have a good game for us and Vialeki Mk II on the other wing!

Oh crap W

Well at least Ainscough will give everything he got, hope he has a blinder against Gardner.

And nobby wont drop bailey due to his 'great defence' that people seem to have no dificulty running around this season,

I would go with a pack of

Fielden
Riddle
Prescott
Lockers
Hock
Tompkins

with feka mossop and Coley as interchange players

and smith (cant defend but an option).

Oh please Phelps at fullback?

He's been out injured for weeks so why would Noble throw him straight in at fullback against Saints?

Even if Richards is injured and doesnt play we have plenty other options than bringing Phelps straight in (i dont think Nobby is that stupid):

Roberts
Goulding
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough

Roberts
Pryce
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough

Roberts
Ainscough
Gleeson
Bailey
Carmont


Sounds like aload of BS too me.

Sounds like BS but we will miss Richards massively if he doesn't play.

I'd say we'd miss his goalkicks especially but i don't really think we'll be having many attempts anyway

same phelps who wern't in the 19?

if richards aint fit it wouldnt surprise me to see pryce on the wing and roberts full back

You can call a player up from outisde the 19 if needs be though so that wouldn't stop us naming Phelps as it wouldn't stop Saints naming say Long or Cayless if they make miracle recoverys.

Oh, I do hope so.
