As i said it was obviously the plan that being 8-0 up we were going to throw Feka and Fielden on and really take the game to them since the intial sting looked to of been knocked out of them at that point. I very much doubt Noble expected F and F to be so damn terrible.

So burn them out totally in the first half?

Well lets see Fielden's been crap for about 2 years so he should have seen that one coming, and Feka well what can you say, he's got a hell of a lot of problems that need fixing.

Wouldnt happen. Water rest would be sufficient. In comparison to Morley, 18mins is shocking.

Extra go forward? Feka maybe, but Fielden is not an impact prop and offers '0' go forward. Should have started with Fielden and Prescott. Shocking tactics by Noble

The idea is Fielden will do the hard work in defence that Feka cant and Feka will punch the holes down the middle in attack.



Really makes me laugh all this Anti-Noble stuff. If he had picked Fielden to start and we had lost you would be on his back for starting with Fielden! The man cannot win no matter what he does. He has picked the players that have done so well for the past month or two end of chat.

a) Fielden has given f*ck all go forward for quite a while now, certainly if we're talking of 'impact'

b) Why bring Feka on when we're about to kick off to Warrington? In the 13 minutes he was on, I think we had one real set of six. Feka was f*cked by the time he finally got the ball.

Agree with the OP; the moment these subs were made, we lost the match.

I have never rated paleosina, today he and he alone gifted wire the match. I am sure he is a nice bloke, but he should not be allowed to play for wigan again, the other players must groan when they see him coming on.

I must admit although I really like the guy he's getting worse, his fitness is getting worse and thats contributing to his overall poor play.

To be honest jonh, Fecka and Fielden really need to be shown the door, the amount of cap they must be taking up, (especially Fielden), could free up enough £ for 3 - 4 forwards that will be willing to put 100% in for the club in more than 10 minute bursts. Until you sort your pack out, you are always going to struggle.

Feka was one of the main reasons we lost today, TonySmiths game plan was very good, as soon as Feka came on they ran at him time and time again, he is fat and slow getting into the marker position and they ran round him making easy yards. they had scored three tries on the bounce before Feka got a run by which time he was knackered and taken off after only spending 10 mins on the pitch. that cost us the game and paul prescotts inability not to have a knockonathon every game

Since we have Paleaaesina until the end of next year at least, the obvious solution is to get in a fitness coach/conditioner who actually knows what he is doing.

A proper nutritionist also wouldn't go a miss.

From there it's down to Feka to want to do it.

No sherlock! The problem is though there is no saying had we not made the changes we would of won which makes Jonh post a bit of an easy stab at Noble which he loves so much.

You can't blame Prescott. The damage had already been done by then. Wire took the foot off the gas and the team gave us false hope. How many times has that happened over the past few months???

If we didn't make the changes who knows what would have happened?

The fact we did make the changes at the same time and in the given situation was a disaster from Noble.

It was obvious what would happen from then on in.
