Nobby's Selection Headache : Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:11 pm  

Now with McIlorum back from suspension and with Sam Tomkins showing that he can play at first team level without being trampled all over will Nobby have the guts to drop Smith, who quite frankly has been poor so far for inform players??

Sam worked well as an impact player but can he go for 80 mins or is it too early? Surely McIlorum cannot be dropped he's been playing well, what would you do?

Stick with the same IMO, but drop Coley, he was dire at Quins. I'd like to see Sam Tomkins start, but whilst I think he was fantastic at Quins, we're starting to expect him to be some sort of savious for Wigan, needless pressure IMO.

Stick with the same and see how we fare. McIllorum should be made to fight for his place, not just walk straight back into the squad.

Hmm its a tricky one. Sam impressed yesterday and shouldnt be dropped.
Macca has been playing great before his suspension.

My first impression was drop Smith and have lulu and tomkins at half back. And Macca and Piggy at Hooker.

But the team looks sooo much better when Tommy goes 9 because it gets IMO our best player more involved in the game.

I dont think Noble will change for the system we played last night.

I'd be tempted to try that stick with the same. If Smith doesn't improve next week i'd drop him for a week see if it changes it round.

there s no head ache sam as to play

I would drop Smith or Riddell, I would much rather see our young guns play.

We need a big clear out of all our foreign players and bring through some young british talent and sign some British players. We should only be getting 2 or 3 overseas players and the ones we get should be quality like Richards and Feka not waste of space like Phelps and Bailey.

Whatever happens Tommy should play hooker off the bench and Sam should play from the start. Piggy will not get dropped because of the money we are paying him.

If Noble drops Sam he needs serious mental help
