Personally I think it's a sad reflection on the way the club has gone that we have to rely on other players getting suspeneded for one of our youngsters to get a chance in the first team. But in the intrest of S Tomkins getting a game I hope Mcllourm get a 1 game ban. Although even if he does I suspect Noble would rather us Lockers, Roberts or even Mathers at 6 before Sam

Please god no.
I can just see it happening though

It happens at all clubs.
Armstrong, Frodsham and Wheeler at Saints.
Watkins at Leeds.

Was it the Wakefield game last season he played 6?

Whichever game it was he was bad, the guy can't even play is own position properly what chance has he got playing out of position

1 game and a £200 fine

Fairy snuff.

I didn't think it was that bad but he has previous which probably went against him.

One game, £200 confirmed: www.therfl.co.uk/~therflc/superl ... p?id=13177

Well we are at a position again that provides Noble the opportunity to select a young player only because of injury/suspension.

J Tomkins and S Ainscough only got there shot because Noble had no other choice i hope S Tomkins grabs the opportunity with both hands.

If he is not selected in the 17, i think he may as well look for a loan/permanent move away from the club while Noble is in Charge.

Noble will go for the tried and tested and failed option imo - O'Loughlin to 6 when Leuluai goes to 9.

and that lack of creativity might flatten our attack all the more, Quins might well take advantage of this and we'll be 0-4.

No excuse, S. Tomkins to 6, Leuluai to 9. Come on Nobble do the right thing. Give the boy a chance.

tenner says he wont

Sad


Tbh I still dont see much in that tackle - just two players going in at different heights in different directions. Then again he IS irish

Correct,he played 6 against Wakey at home won 8-4 and came on at 9 against Wire at home won 38 -14

As much as I have myself criticised Noble over his lack of bringing youngsters through he is still a good coach IMO and will see that O'Loughlin as a SO is a poor choice and his kicking game against Castleford should have emphasised this.

Noble, when needed to admittedly, has played Joel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Chris Tuson & Shaun Ainscough in games when we have been short of numbers.

I will expect Tomkins to figure in some capacity this weekend but if, as a lot of people on the board here suspect, Noble goes with O'Loughlin at SO or another alternative and it doesn't work, serious questions will need to be raised.

Save your surplus cash for dave's extortionate fees...

Correct, questions would need to be.
