Not Roberts' turn to take a break?

we cant afford to 'rest' our best players against teams like wakefield, and although Phelps isnt a bad player i still think Ainscough on the Wing and Richards too fullback is our best option. Also where has this talk come from that Richards looks injured? Just because he missed some goals? Sh*t happens and im sure he will be practicing them all week in training, because he looked fine to me in general play.



i'd go with:



Richards

Roberts

Gleeson

Carmont

Ainscough

Sam

Leuluai

Fielden

Riddell

Coley

Hock

Bailey

O'Loughlin



Feka

Joel/Hansen

Smith

Prescott

Pat Richards

Amos Roberts

Martin Gleeson

George Carmont

Sean Ainscough

Cameron Phelps

Sam Tomkins

Ben Davies/Mighty Max/Kelvin/Brian Noble - anyone above Fielden

Mark Riddell

Andy Coley

Gareth Hock

Harrison Hansen (If fit) If Hansen is not fit then Phil Bailey

Sean O'loughlin



---------------------------------------

Feka Paleaasina

Paul Prescott

Thomas Leuluai

Joel Tomkins

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
