Where is wheeler?

We could put gilly back to 2nd row and start wheeler at centre.

I can only assume either Wheeler is injured or has gone down with a lurgi.

Im glad in a way that Wilkin is not playing. He deserves a rest after the work he has been putting in.

I think we will miss him though, either via his defence or his kicking ability and also general skill at running good angles when running onto passes.

Why?

Richards and Gleeson the only definites in the Goons back line really. Expect Roberts and Ainscough on the wing with Carmont left centre so probs Phelps to miss out mind you knowing Agent Noble he will drop Ainscough although i hope he doesn't because he is a liability under pressure kicks.

..' he's rested as a precautionary measure, a bit of a pull on an arm muscle.

the dreaded chicken wing tackle no doubt rearing its head again.

I think the RFL are missing a trick here. Get chicken wing tackles sponsored by KFC

As long as they never used it for Hopate, it's all right.

You say "Knowing Agent Noble he will drop Ainscough" as though it would be idiotic of him to do so and then say "i hope he doesn't because he is a liability under pressure kicks." which indicates you think Ainscough is a weak link and he shoudlnt' play him!

So which is it?

Who's the expert now?

Because Noble won't drop Richards or Gleeson.
