i think mr.noble has a few selection headaches ahead of sunday whether to keep smith in? keep phelps in? start sam? so what would you like to see?

1. RICHARDS
2. ROBERTS
3. GLEESON
4. CARMONT
5. AINSCOUGH
6. SAM TOMKINS
7. LEULUAI
8. FIELDEN
9. RIDDELL
10. COLEY
11. HOCK
12. BAILEY
13. O'LOUGHLIN

14. PRESCOTT
15. FEKA
16. JOEL TOMKINS
17. PHELPS/ SMITH

Personally id play phelps- he can cover a majority of positions, and i would like to see him go to stand off when riddell comes off. i think noble should try something different because it means we can accomodate for roberts richards and ainscough. smith has put himself back into contention in my opinion and he could be pushing for a spot again next week. if hansen is back i would rest bailey because he is the only second rower not to have a break over easter.

Phelps
Ainscough
Carmont
Gleeson
Roberts
S Tomkins
Smith
Prescott
Riddell
Coley
Hock
Bailey
OLoughlin

J Tomkins
Feka
Fielden
Leuluai


Tough choice on Richards/Ainscough but we know how great Ainscough is in the try scoring charts at the moment and Richards doesnt seem fully fit, particularly evident in his kicking. A weeks rest wont hurt him.

Lets get some consistancy! Maybe the pack will play a bit better if they know who they are playing off. Play the same 17 in the same position.

Same again if they're all fit.

Phelps
Roberts Gleeson Carmont Ainscough
Pryce Tomkins
Coley Tommy O Carroll (is he back this week?)
Hock Lockers
Tomkins
----------------
Feka Prescott Riddell Bailey

What a cr@p squad.

Richards to be rested.

I thought he isn't as good as Roberts and Ainscough.

Regardless, his turn to take a break, will help if he's carrying a knock.

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.
