| I can't believe Noble has dropped McIllorum and let Riddell waltz straight back into the team after being injured and McIllorum playing so well against saints.
Equally why do we persist in playing 1 out football, 5 drives and a kick.
And why doesn't he ever drop some of his favourite players who are underperforming, like Smith, Coley, Mathers who need a kick up their ??????
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Maybe it's about time a few fans on here and on another site started to look at what is actually happenning rather than what they spouting pre-conceived rubbish.

29281_1270406980.jpg When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

| I really don't know what to say in reply to this one lol.
Maybe the original poster would like to give us his assessment of Mark Riddell's performance today?

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| I know it's late at night and some people may be a little bleary eyed, but I'm obviously taking the p*ss out of all the indignant fans who were slagging Noble off for recalling Riddell in place of McIllorum bfore the team sheet had even been announced.
The same fans who still seem to think we are playing the same boring rugby as last season.
The same fans who believe that Noble will ALWAYS pick the same players regardless of form.

I agree with your point.
And it has to be said if Mcilorum continues with his awesome defence and all round industrious play in the weeks to come, I struggle to see how Riddell will get back in at this moment in time. On the other side of the coin, I do think in the upcoming games we could use Riddell's extra bit of canny and creativity around the ruck.
Interesting selection issues all over the place.

| Riddell is still injured.
Will be interesting to see if he gets a spot when fit. At the moment its all one off performances though. If we go off todays game Tommy should be nowhere near the 9 shirt next or any other season.

OK you are attempting irony but I don't think you will find anyone said Noble had dropped McIllorum but were speculating that he might.
The reason they were speculating he might was because there have been plenty of examples over the time Noble has been here of him sticking with his favourite players and overlooking others. Or do you disagree with that?
Today Noble got it right but don't be so quick to say "I told you so" as there is plenty of scope for him to revert to type because as we all know good form doesn't guarantee you a slot in the 17 as Ainscough being dropped shows.
Personlly I think the irony is drawing attention to McIllorum being picked ahead of Riddell as a good bit of coaching when numerous posters on this board had written him MM so they could justify a Riddell / TL hooking partnership! You all know who you are!

God you are arrogant. Since you spat your dummy out for months over Micky Higham leaving then id say your the worst judge of hookers on here so you may want to lose your typical arrogant tone that you achieve so easily.
