In fairness to roberts on that one though he had actually caught the ball and then phelps got underneath him and tipped him slightly

I blame them both then

Heard from reliable source that Ainscough is not in 17.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere (but i couldn't find it).

Roberts should have missed for me, or Caront to at least have to have proven fitness(he is a quality centre though).

Hope this is wrong but i wouldn't put it past Noble

sorry can't even type so angry [/u]

Noble could kill this lads career filling him with all that confidence.
The blokes a fool.

Mind games I think might be the order of the day here.

I love watching Ainscough play so I'll be disappointed if he doesn't. I had that feeling when I was a loittle lad and Boston didn't play although the feeling was much, much stronger.
There is no relegation so Noble should stick with Ainscough and devise a nmethod to help him out. I think you call it coaching.

Hear, hear.

He won't be proved right or wrong whatever the result because no one will be able to say what effect of playing him would have had on the result if he is left out. If we win, we may well still have won with Ainscough in the side. If we lose, we may well have lost with him in the side.

I am also getting a bit sick of this bandwagon that seems to be gathering momentum that Ainscough is somehow terrible under the high ball. He caught a steepler of a bomb v Wakefield and made 50m back up the pitch!

IMO the few mistakes he has made defensively are not serious enough to have him dropped from the team. His mistakes are no worse than other players have made yet his contribution on attack is far greater.

He should be in the team and Noble's dilemma should not be whether to play him or not but which one of Phelps or Roberts to drop. Simple as that.
