Quote ="andyed-wiganrl"surely ainscough owned gardner on maundie thurs.....lets be honest this is gardner were talkin about, he hardly needs much owning.
The fact that ainny has had to make that comment is extremely frustrating. he has done nothing wrong, been one of our best players all season, top of the try scoring charts, and now he 'sees it difficult getting back in'. Something like this could ruin his career, and if nobby carrys on not playing him because he has is favourates and his face doesnt fit then he will end up elsewhere in the next season or so and we will lose another gem as he is clearly good enough for super league and clearly knows this!! If we dont give him a chance someone else will.
For me roberts should be dropped or benched to make room for ainny. Yes roberts had a good game on sat but has played nowhere near to ainnys standard this season....and unfortunately it now seems with noble at the helm ainscough will only get chances when players are injured'"
Oh shut up before you embarrass yourself
Richards (after his 1st season) has never had a serious slump in form in years and always finished with a good scoring record. Roberts needs to settle with Gleeson before any chopping and changing happens, plus its a swap to another wing for anyone replacing him which isnt always a natural move.
And Phelps is showing what an attacking fullback does for a team, Richards never let us down at all when he played there but Phelps suits us better there atm.
And to suggest having an out and out winger on the bench is laughable!
