RICHARDS MUST GO FB.....Putting roberts there would be stupid when Richards is proven at FB

This is noble we are talking about.....

Roberts to fullback,
bailey to centre,
Hansen to second row
o carroll dropped
prescott in

still moves half he team round when piggy goes off

hull muller us

Noble has put Richards at FB plenty times before.
Richards, Roberts, Goulding, Carmont, Phelps.
I'd prefer Ainscough to play wing but I think he'll pick Phelps.

Roberts is proven at fullback. He's played fullback more than Richards.

Yeah but never for wigan.....and probably not as well as Richards....Richards's best games for us have all come when hes been at FB IMO...he is class there and there is no other option...whether mathers be suspended or otherwise

Roberts looked well down on match fitness on Sunday and was blowing hard early doors so i'd be dubious of playing him at fullback where he'll have to cover alot of ground.

Richards has been superb when he's played fullback for us in the past and would be the safest choice.

I'd give Roberts a run out at full back, he looked pretty solid defensively after the first ten minutes, took a very tough high ball and absolutely nailed a player at one point. If he looks bad there Noble can switch him and Richards easily enough. I definitely wouldn't put Phelps and Goulding as a centre wing combo though, too inexperienced/defensively weak.

Must agree; while I rate Paddy on the wing I'd prefer him at FB while Amos gets his match fitness and used to the speed/style of SL.

I think we can count on Noble going for the safest option - Pat at FB...
Cautious to the end

will wigan be applying against it

Yes.

For it to be increased.

Agreed.

I think that Amos is a better fullback than Pat, but so soon on with us I would go with Pat.

Bad news for Hull this, I'd fancy our chances more if you had Mathers at FB rather than Richards/Roberts

Yeah ok mate maybe you should have a look at some of the acadamy games, where he has set up wingers for some great tries, glory hunter my , hes a great talent,

with regard to thread title...

That's gotta be the worst reasoning ever.

But when has it ever stopped him before though?

I hope so...2 matches is nowhere near enough

But then again Hull FC have their own Cameron Phelps in the shape of Todd Byrne, possibly the worst player in Rugby League history.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Phelps at fullback, as he was o.k. there v Leigh.
Goulding then to centre.

Less disruption to the team that way.

No chance, his defence quality would get caught out on the wing. Teams would have a field day against him.

I'm sorry to say but IMO he doesnt deserve to be anywhere neat the Wigan side.

Interesting shout. Pat should stay on the wing, Phelps or Amos should play FB, then Goulding in at centre.

I know this place will explode, but if we continue to be weak in defence in the 3/4's then Bailey will end up playing centre at times this year.

Noooooooooooooooooo - he has even less pace than Wello

Perm andy one from three; Phelps, Richards or Roberts.

However, it was Roberts at the back when Mathers was binned.

If theyve got any sence yes........apparently the RFL can extend bans if they think theres no grounds for challenge
