As much as I have myself criticised Noble over his lack of bringing youngsters through he is still a good coach IMO and will see that O'Loughlin as a SO is a poor choice and his kicking game against Castleford should have emphasised this.

Noble, when needed to admittedly, has played Joel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Chris Tuson & Shaun Ainscough in games when we have been short of numbers.

I will expect Tomkins to figure in some capacity this weekend but if, as a lot of people on the board here suspect, Noble goes with O'Loughlin at SO or another alternative and it doesn't work, serious questions will need to be raised.

Correct, questions would need to be.
