We have a squad, will Noble use it? : Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:25 am  

Carmont and Hock are I believe facing checks on knocks picked up v Saints which must mean they are a doubt for the next game.

We have two young players who missed out last night, J Tomkins and Goulding.

Should Noble just make straight swaps with these players or will he mess the side about? I am pretty sure Goulding started his junior Wigan career as a left centre anyway so he can play there and we know Tomkins is a capable player.

Had there been no injury doubts over these players I think the next game would have been an ideal opportunity to rotate one of Bailey or Hansen with J Tomkins anyway.

Will Noble use our squad or will it be musical chairs with players out of position?

Thoughts?

I'm guessing musical chairs as I'm fairly sure Bailey will go back into the centres if Carmon't sn't fit. More to the point will he have the bottle to drop Fielden after last night's performance. I'm betting "no" on that too...

Goulding to centre Bailey to second row if Hock's out, otherwise Bailey to centre.
