Mine

Richards, Roberts, Pryce, Carmont, Ainscough, Sam, Tommy, Davies, Mcilurom, Prescott, Lockers, Mossop, Tomkins

Feka, Coley, Farrell, Riddell

No I would start Smith

you'd start with mcilorum at 9? apart from that im ok with that line-up

If theres lads on the 'fringes' of super league in the reserve side huddersfield fielded today that just goes to show my point about how muc the SC has dumbed down super league and how far backwards RL has gone in this country because of it!!! bloody mathers is more on the fringes of super league than them lot, and even hes now been dropped from our reserves!!!!!

Think id stick mathers in tbh...give him a game against an NL1 side and see if hes up to that level, just so he knows for next season whether to tout round for a contract at teams like Barrow, Leigh etc. or whether he needs to drop a further level and look for a contract with oldham or rochdale....or possibly even dewsbury celtic!!

Yes I would because although his game needs work, he adds desire and more than a little skill.

Then why have you signed so many overseas players in the last 12 months? Phelps, Roberts, Piggy etc The only way the youth will get a chanceis if Noble goes - if he stays expect another influx of Aussies for 2010

I think you've got to play him, too many clubs don't back their youngsters after a few mistakes, Ryan Hall makes them at Leeds but they stick with him.

Ainscough made 1 major error on Friday night after the game was gone. I suppose you could say it was an error that led to their clincing try but he was under extreme pressure and these things happen.

I know Saints will pepper him but these are things he's going to have to deal with if he wants to cut out a top level career at Wigan. I can't see him being dropped for the game tbh and thats the way it should be.

I doubt Pryce doing any better under the high ball even though he's about a foot taller then Ainscough.

ainscough should be played every time so yes Id play him against saints.

the lad was gutted friday night and saturday and that proves to me how much he cares about this great club! we need players like that!

so what if he makes a couple of mistakes? he will cut them out because he is young a bit of practise with radders under the high ball in training will do him wonders!

Jason Robinson was bloody awful behind our try line too !

I am sure that 'rads' will offer some advice for the lad.

I think he made 2 didn't he Nicky? Both from kicks which led to tries.

Shaun should defo play.

and I agree, I hope Rads has been talking to our back 3 in training of late.

Wigan Reach 18,000 For Saints

I'd play him but he really needs to sort out his kick defence especially after those errors against Leeds and Hudds.

Those corner kicks are a nightmare for anyone when you have 3 bodies on top of you.

The other errors were bad though. Wing is the most exposed position after Fullback and the corner kick is THE tactic at the moment. The lad's got a tough job on to turn it around. I think 90% of Hudds kicks were to him and not Roberts.

He did but i meant 1 as in he really screwed up for the second one which should have been easily dealt with whereas the first one was a really difficult one that he got little to no support on from his teamates and it's just one those things that happens to most wingers from time to time.

Play him he has not done enough wrong to deserve being dropped, plus he is a Wigan lad he will play his heart out alll game.

Been are best player this year

You're right, but I'd still play him. Defence on kicks is about the only thing he's done wrong, and with his talent, if he works on it in training he should be fine. It's not like he's lacking any particular skill - the 2 big errors (Leeds & Hudds) were more errors of judgement - which you're going to get in a young lad with very few 1st team games. If he gets dropped on the back of it, that won't help him at all.

When it comes down to it, he's the first true winger we've had in ages & should be playing every game

I totally agree, if we drop him for the big games after a few errors, what does that say to the guy after some of the really good stuff he's done this year. We should stop this fear attitude we have towards Saints, difficult I know after the past few years. We need to fly into them and have composure for 80 mins, but they are just a team like all the others who can be beaten if we turn up ready.

No one will be more committed to beating saints than him and sam. If they are going to make it they are going to have to play in big games, so why not start with one that has no real relevance (the season isnt won in april etc) PLAY HIM !

To be fair to aiscough we've seen international winger's make the same error's and worse on kicks.
I'd play him afterall there's nothing like having local lads playing in your big derby against the local rivals.

At old trafford i presume

Now you mention it
