He didnt take kicks into touch or goals in the second half so he was probably carrying a knock

If fit then the same 17.

Should Richards not be fit then Ainscough into the left wing slot.

Smith starting and doing 80 worked v Celtic. I thought all that was a trial against a not very good team in preparation for three difficult games coming up.

Same agen

I think our team is in a mess. I truly do.



We have no true FB.

2, 3, 4, 5 are good.

6-7 is in a mess. We can't work out which is the best pairing or who's best for either 6 or 7. A young lad, a 9 and someone who can't tackle or run and has other issues. (Not good in such a key area).

Props are all poor. (bar Feka)

Riddell is a let down, McClorum doesn't cut it.

Back row-No captain qualities in our capt. Bailey and Hansen have no go forward.

Hock is quality.

If everyone is fully fit then i'd run with the same side.



I'm not convinced Richards is injured. He may well have given the kicking up due to a lack of confidence. He hasn't been hitting them well from the world cup onwards and in a game we were well on top of it's made sense to give Roberts some practice.



Also if he did have a knock surely he would have been taken off as the game was in the bag after 50 minutes.

He had one a few weeks back.

I think its clear that Noble isnt going to drop Fielden, he loves him.

There is a deep strong loving bond between these two men that will one day be made into a Hollywood blockbuster.



Probably John Cena to play Stu

Matt Damon for me, he's another one stealing a living

Cena at prop, now theres an idea

I feel he [imay[/i fail the RFL doping tests.

Im just hoping Noble sees sense and realises lockers isnt a loose but a good second rower , play Big joel at 13 every time for me .
