So, barring injury, the one thing that did work on Sunday - moving TL to hooker - is not going to happen this week.

I know coaches shouldn't be guided by fans' over-emotional responses, but seeing no Sam Tomkins even in the 19 is disappointing.

I think it will.

Riddell to be replaced by Tommy > Smith to SH > Lockers to SO > J. Tomkins to loose.

Roberts
Phelps
Goulding
Carmont
Richards
Smith
Leuluai
Fielden
Riddell
O'Carroll
Hansen
Bailey
O'Loughlin

Paleaaesina
Hock
J. Tomkins
McIlorum

Is what I think he will go with.

Regardless, we will lose.

Mr Noble is going to live or die by his selections, he must have some faith in certain players for them to be in there this week after last weeks horror show, hope that the individuals really work for him and they go in with a better game plan as if they do not the pressure on him will be massive.

Agreed, in a week of such discontent (albeit after 1 round) and players clearly not performing, Noble is giving them all a chance to make amends and repay his faith. I hope he knows what he is doing.

I have prepared some other excuses:

O'Loughlin is a rubbish captain
Phil Bailey is overpaid
Cameron Phelps
We need Micky Higham
McCain should be president
The Easter bunny doesn't exist

etc etc

From that 19, I suspect it'll be:

Roberts
Phelps, Goulding, Carmont, Richards
Smith, Leuluai
Fielden, Riddell, Feka
Hock, Bailey
O'Loughlin

Coley, Hansen, J.Tomkins, O'Carroll
