I think McRae needs to take a leaf out of the 'new Brian Noble' handbook and start playing lads on their form and not ages, reputations etc.
In a way Noble dropped lucky with Ainscough and Tomkins because he had to play them due to injury and suspension but he's since kept playing them even though he's had other options. He's also dropped Smith and then last night Roberts even though they are big money imports to give younger British lads a chance.
I'd love McRae to kncok on Wigans door and loan a couple of our reserve players who are unlikely to get a chance this season because theres a couple who are superb(backrowers i'm thinking) yet because of the strengh in depth in their position they're unlikely to get a chance.
