Shocking decision tonight from Noble. Bringing back the fat, unfit Riddell for the ever improving Sam Tomkins. That second half was crying out for a contribution from sam because we had absolutely no idea! 3 or 4 sets battering their line and we came up with nothing.
Last weeks winning forula should not have been changed!

I cant understand why he wasnt given 80 minutes in the reserves, particularly because McIlorum had a stormer last week, and again tonight.
Poor man Mark Reber this mon if he carries on

Are you Jamaican?

Totally agree, the first noticeable contribution from Riddell tonight was when he forgot to pick the ball up at dummy half with 2 mins to go.
I've already mentioned on other threads how much of a difference I reckon Sam would have made against a defence that was out on its feet last 15 mins.

Pembert'n

And how slow did he react to that play the ball in the far left corner? He just let it roll past him while he stood and watched

He was shocking today and doesnt look like he wants to be here, McIlorum was outstanding, i wont be to bothered if the rumours are true...

His distribution is good, once he's realised that the ball is there to be passed and bent down to pick the fecker up.

Mcillorum (sp) is playing well and tommy better hooker than scrum half

Sam playing really well

Smith playing really well(although not much tonight)

Riddell - fat waste of time

I know , this coaching lark is easy .......Drop SAM

Noble is a complete Spoon!

Oh Don't start me on the Roberts/Ainscough thing btw

We're far too quick to build players up when they play well and knock them down when they have a bad game.

To be honest I don't think Riddell was that bad tonight, but definitely got outshone by McIlorum.

Nah thats rubbish. We should never EVER change a winning team unless someone is under performing

Would you have agreed when noble dropped ainscough...but still won against saints?

Sam last night looked like someone who needed a rest. I back Noble in that decision.

However, having now given him a rest, Sam must be brought back in next week and Riddell removed.

He is imo, 3rd choice hooker currently.
