Apparently he's told someone who posts on here that Ainscough, injuries permitting, will be playing against Quins.

Got to say this is a top signing

I agree that it would be a daft choice but I just get the feeling that Noble is a little pig headed as far as Mathers is concerned.

Like it or lump it Mathers is considered our first choice full back and had he not been suspended would in all probability have played against Hull at Full Back, therefore considering the performances and results since I see no reason why Nobby would leave him out completely for this game.

And rightly so. Noble isn't daft and to drop him would make a mockery of his "those in form play" mantra.

He isn't. Roberts is.

I don't know how you conclude that considering when the two were both available for selection Mathers started at Full Back.

Would Roberts have started there against Hull and Cas if Mathers wasn't suspended ? - obviously it is only guess but I don't think he would have done.

The question whether he should be first choice would obviously yield an answer of yes, certainly given both his and Ainscoughs performances against Cas.

Sam Tomkins and Sean Ainscough included in the squad. Well done Noble.

Goulding left out - no suprises there after his performance against Castleford. Fair enough.

If I was being fussy I'd have liked to have seen Paul Prescott in the squad but I'll let him off.

Let's hope he plays them.

Riddell to play the full 80 minutes?

IMO I'd go with:

Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Karl Pryce
George Carmont
Sean Ainscough

Sam Tomkins
Tim Smith

Stuart Fielden
Thomas Leuluai
Eamon O'carroll

Sean O'loughlin
Gareth Hock

Joel Tomkins

Harrison Hansen
Mark Riddell
Iafeta Paleaasina
Andy Coley

Mathers and Bailey to drop out.
