no place in the 17 for sam or harrison hansen

just seen him warming up so dont know if there s a mistake or what

what a joke guess he s the water boy noble just gets better young un s pull us out the poo an he drops them soon as people are fit

its not night for Sam, we need the swamp donkies tonight.

Bl**dy hell Mathers!

Correct, good call Nobby

If we had brought Sam off the bench with 20/25 mins left tonight, I reckon we'd of had a damn sight better go at winning that game. The kid is a gamebreaker, and we were certainly missing one tonight.

And in the programme Noble says if they play well they will be in the team - so what's sam done wrong then.

We missed him tonight !!

funny how both the young wigan lads that noble was probably pressurised into bringing in the team have suddenly been moved back out as soon as noble thinks he is back in good books.

This i have to agree with. When he is forced to play them he is quick to take credit for selecting them, wonder if he will be as quick to accept the responsibility for dropping them.

Its to simplistic a view imo. Nobody could argue with the Ainscough call because we lost, people also agreed Sam looked tired. However, because we lost its all down to the dropping of them two players.

Next week:


Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Martin Gleeson
Karl Pryce(call back Goulding) or move Bailey to the centres (Allow Carmont to get fit otherwise he will continue to leak tries and offer little going forward)
Sean Ainscough - Time to get this kid back in the action.
Tim Smith
Thomas Leuluai
Stuart Fielden
Michael McIlorum
Andy Coley
Phil Bailey
Gareth Hock
Sean O'loughlin

Not at all. I agreed with the Noble call tonight, but it seems it was the wrong call in hindsite.

All i am saying is when both are in and he has to select them due to injury he is giving it i have always selected young players had faith in them etc etc.

When we have options they are the first to be dropped, will BN put his hand up nd say he got it wrong?

Its not about right or wrong. Much now will be obvious by the team he picks next week.

Phelps?????? hes been one of our best players.

Riddell deserves to be dropped. Carmont needs time to get fit.
Other than that everyone else did ok for me.

I agree but equally much is obvious from the team he has picked over the last few weeks and in his career to date for Bradford, Gb and Wigan.

Sam has played the last few weeks?

We need to see what team he picks next week, he got it right pre kick off, but it didnt work. So change is needed, will he make them though.

Seem to remember him scoring the match winner vs Trinity, may be wrong but it was right infront of me so think i am right?

Please people lets not forget the Quins game earlier in the season and the terrible run we were on and which two players were easily head and shoulders above the rest!!

Sam and Shaun showed passion, talent and commitment to the Wigan cause on that night and every night they’ve played after! They come into a losing side and play a big role in turning it around and then get dropped for the players that couldn’t do it in the first place? It’s indefensible imo what Noble has done.

I know. I thought from your previous post you were taking aim at Noble for various things, I was pointing out the fact Sam had been involved as a counter point.

Obviously we confused each other

Joel <----- May I ask what is he doing to add to the team currently? Not much in go forward and not as good as Hansen in defence, so swap for Hansen, for me next week.
