19-man Squad for Friday:

Post by GeoffN »

Phelps, Roberts, Gleeson, Carmont, Richards, S. Tomkins, Leuluai, Fielden, Riddell, Coley, Hansen, J. Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Prescott, Paleaaesina, Deacon, O'Carroll, Mossop, Goulding.

No real surprises - Goulding and either Prescott or O'Carroll to drop out, I guess.

Geoff i agree with you.

He ain't going to go with a 3 prop bench (feka, o'carrol and Prescott)

a back may be a go idea on the bench. Gleeson can step up to the 2nd rower but no one from the 2nd row can go to the centre Lockers at a push maybe? I ain't counting decs as a back coz he will come on for Piggy and lulu will go hooker.

My bench would be:
Goulding
Mossop
Feka
Decs

A back to cover and Mossop can prop or 2nd row. Coley can drop back to 2nd row any way.

We are missing Bails on the bench. he can come on and cover centre or 2nd rower letting us have two props and a half back on the bench.

Don't really see the point in putting Goulding on the bench.

Crusaders did a lot of work in the forwards against Leeds so for me it would make sense to have Precott and Feka on the bench as props with Massop as an extra second row just to keep the Crusaders forwards busy. Goulding is not going to change the game and if the back can't play 80 minutes then they shouldn't be in the team.

I don't think we will have an outside back on the bench when we will have an halfback already on the bench. Irrespective we will tonk Crusaders and Noble can choke on his chewing gum.

cp wigan for pity sake stop acting like a child (choke on his chewing gum)we should be talking tactics not slagging ex coaches every coach for Wigan has brought something different to the game and the club and there has been many over the 26yrs of me supporting them. I don"t write much on the forum but look forward to reading other peoples views but if you can not stick to sensible rugby league banter then shut the hell up.

Who rattled your cage :roll: Odd that you should decide to post this about me and in this thread given you be an avid reader would have read 2 other posters saying similar things about Eric Hughes. We even had posters who would not attend matches with Ian Millward as coach. Of course we have umpteen posts / threads re Dave Whelan. I could go on with examples but you seem like a set up to me. So keep your insults to yourself.

I said when he was here and I will say it now he has gone, Brian Noble brought Wigan RLFC into disrepute with his actions off the field and on it he was very mediocre as a coach.

Come folks no pointless bickering. Everyone on this forum has a different opinion, view and personality so not everyone is going to like or agree with what is posted but just get on with it.

Personally I'm not a big fan of Brian Noble and I've made that clear a few times. I think he held back some of the younger players and if not for Lenegan's intervention and Tim Smith getting injured we might never have seen Sam Tomkins as a Wigan number 6.

What actions off the field?
The only thing I can think of that may come under the category of bringing WWRLFC into disrepute was Hock's ban, and that was a storm in a teacup and over in a week.
I know his choice of words was sometimes a little odd, but you seem to be hinting a something Sinister.
Although we never won a trophy under Noble, all his off the field actions seemed to be those of a gentleman who was flawlessly polite, and who loves the game of Rugby League. HAPPY:eusa2: HAPPY:eusa2: HAPPY:eusa2:

I seem to remember at the end of last season this site was getting bogged down with petty sniping by posters of posters.Insults flowing freely.Better than some of the passing moves on the field.People threatening to stop using or posting on this site because of the personal abuse.And yes I do include myself,because I am no Mr innocent.Can I just say would you who consider carrying on with the bickering get the hell of this site and leave it to those who wish to post sensible posts about rugby.For Christ sake the damned season as not even kicked off yet and we are already at each others throats.It really is becoming laborious reading.I am interested in rugby not petty sniping by people who claim to be adults. :(
