are you Sean Long?
im all for the youngsters: if they're ood enough they should play.
I would imagine Sam T's arrival onto the pitch will create quite a bit of noise if and when the time comes for him to do so.

Based on what Noble is saying in the WEP, Pryce will not be selected until he can manage 80 minutes and thus Ainscough will get the nod.
I hope so but I will believe it when I see it.

so does anyone else think that Sam Tomkins should be playing every week or at least most weeks ?
the kids quality. id play TL as a hooker, Move Smith to 7 and play young Sam at 5/8.
i would also be playing Hock at loose forward and play Joel regular too.
Mabye if Hock was Captain that might help with his discipline and form.
Any views ???

Don't know why people keep saying bring ST in, when we all know deep down he won't.
Noble won't play someone just becasue some of the crowd want him to. He will always stick with experience, especialy at the momonet when he is desperate for a win.
Even if Smith got injured he would only move Lockers to stand off.
And on the wings, he would sooner put Bailey back to centre and Goulding to wing before bringing in Ainscough.

TL at hooker is an excellent shout. Maybe we should have never signed Riddel and decided that TL is our new hooker.

Wigan signed Riddell long before NZ coach Stephen Kearney (and Wayne Bennett) moved him to hooker to cover for his "obvious" deficiencies in the World Cup.

But, we had TL here for 18 months then and didnt see it and Kearney and Bennett saw it in 4 games.

The media pressure to drop TL totally from the team was immense!
AS for TL's Wigan form, I believe Wigan still think they signed the half-back that tore them apart playing for Harlequins (bit reminiscent of another ex-Harlequins/Broncos scrum half

)
