Remind me what it is that he offers again?

Nothing

I don't know whether I dare criticize him when some of his defenders will jump to his aid and tell us he'll come good, but to say he was crap would be a gigantic understatement.

That fantastic tackle against Danny McGuire last week.

Mind you I’m probably speaking to the same people who think that Noble is a crap coach.

He showed what he offers when he made a 30/40 meter break charging through the St Helens defence...

He had a bad game. Doesn't deserve to be lynched for it, certainly not after 5-6 weeks of good form.

A good player had a poor game..............it happens.

He showed with a couple of great runs in the 2nd half what he can bring to the team but other then that it wasn't his night.

New scapegoat?

I don't think anyone had a poor game tonight, from either side

Oh no - believe me he did and I'm a fan of Amos Roberts.

did you actually watch the game ??? Meli and Roberts with both liability's - they pretty much cancelled each other out with crapness

Yep but should he be knocked from pillar to post for it? No at all.

The endeavour was there from every Wigan player but with Ball in hand Roberts, Gleeson, Leuluai and Joel didn;t have the best nights.

I also thought Feka added zilch tbh aswell.

Very true both were poor and Saints kicked to Roberts all night long and exploited it, what did Noble are master technician advise the team to do? Kick it dead, I mean come on anybody watching that could tell we should have kicked to Meli except the man in charge.

Just like Aniscough then ? Except that Aniscough scored more trys & is on a lot less money.

You forgot something, Ainscough doesn't take up a quota spot either.

Made an awesome break in the second half.

For frig sake, not one of his better games but lets cut the guy a little slack.

(or shall we run him out of Wigan shouting burn him, burn him)??

I was as pi*sed off as anybody when Ainscough was left out for Murryfield and am a huge fan but up until tonight Roberts has been excellent.

We have an embarrasment of riches in the back row and in the outside backs with the likes of Ainscough, Mossop and Flanagan coming through...............we just need a couple of props now.

so true - in conditions like that kicking to Meli would probably have resulted in Wigan getting alot more ball in our 20 ..

You bring the matches and I'll get the pitchforks!!!



Joking apart, whilst not one of his better games - he still made a couple of good breaks - he isn't the only player in the league that seems to have butterfingers in the rain.

Phelps dropped one or two, Gardner dropped a few, Meli spilled it, Tomkins lost it 3 times.

Did you see the conditions, or are you just looking to cause an argument as usual?

Sorry i dont agree, yes Ainscough has got a weakness in defence, but so has Roberts as proven tonight.But Ainscogh is more potent in attack.Even Jason Robinson had problems in defence but they were minimised by decent coaches.

pig sick of rubbish spoken on here.

player has a bad game do we

A. support the lad, show him our respect and hopefully have him repay us with better performances in the future

or

B. instantly start a thread calling for his head.


Some fans purposely wait for a poor performance so they can crucify the player, hoping that there criticism will make them appear more knowledgeable about RL.
Pig sick of you all.

(await self righteous postings)

Woh buddy don't forget thats something were lacking, just most people dont see it because they have been swayed with a little bit of decent form, but yes he can be coached to better his game however with Noble in charge I have my Doubts that he will.

Poor handling,not alot else wrong in fairness.

Come on Brett. He had a poor game tonight but was still the second best winger on the park.

His form of late has been excellent, he played poorly tonight, move on. In my opinion he was not our worst player tonight.

Don't agree with what bit?

Roberts had a slow start to his Wigan career but has been excellent in the past couple of months.

I think Ainscough is a sensational prospect though and can't wait to see him back in the first team. The times got to be right for that though. He needs 'abit' of work on his game but we also need to try and find a time to put him in when certain people won't be watching his every move in the hope of picking up a flaw in his game.

Unless we get a couple of injuries and don't think we'll see him again this year but 12 or so games as a 19 year old wingman is a nice little taste of first team rugby.
