No Mathers

Amos Roberts, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Tim Smith, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mark Riddell, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Gareth Hock, Phil Bailey, Sean O'Loughlin, Joel Tomkins, Andy Coley, Harrison Hansen, Michael McIlorum, Karl Pryce, Eamon O'Carroll, Sam Tomkins, Shaun Ainscough.

This is the squad i would stick with last weeks team or put Pryce in the centres instead of Bailey

Keep it the same for me as last week. I actually thought Bailey played well against Quins. He did a few good offloads & created plenty of space for his winger. His defence could have been more secure but still it was a good performance by him imo. He more than deserves to keep his place

Same as last week, Pryce & McIlorum to miss out.
No Mathers, this time not in the 19.

Thats the news we want.

Same again please.

why would you drop bailey, he did very well last week even got over for a try, pryce has no confidence and cant defend, so whats the point in droping goulding to put bailey in who played well and replace him with sumone who worse than goulding

Well despite many peoples earlier opinions it seems Noble does have the bottle to drop some of his percieved 'golden boys'.

I'd keep Richards at Full-Back. He seems to be more involved in the game and has better performances. But plays good anywhere (apart from that 2006 season when he played centre) but I'd go with

Richards
Roberts
Pryce
Carmont
Ainscough
Smith
S.Tomkins
Fielden
Leuluai
Coley
Hansen
Tomkins
O'Loughlin

Paleaaesina
Riddell
Hock
Goulding/Prescott (what happened to him btw?)

But i dont think Noble will start Leulai at hooker, but he'll probably end up there after about 10 mins or whenever Riddell gets knackered! But Bailey is doing nothing for me at the moment, no reason to keep him in the team

What's O'Carroll done wrong to be dropped.

Riddell played 30 mins. on Saturday before being subbed.
