Why doesn't Noble switch Ainscough and Richards when we are defending our line so the latter can deal with the high kicks?
Ainscough could cover the grubber kicks.

I'd imagine it would take too much organising.

Saints are bearing down on our line and Cunningham is halted 5 yards short on the 4th tackle. Lockers steps forward, "Hold on lads. Can we just have a minute so we can swap our winger and fullback around?". "Cheers lads. On you go Kieron".



Seriously, I don't think we'd have time to do it.

Ainscoughs a winger end of so he'll have to work out a way of dealing better with high kicks from his position of wing. We can't change the whole side round for 1 player as it takes too much time in what is a super fast game.

I'd have swapped him to the right wing on Friday but thats about the only re-jig i'd look at dependant on who he's facing.

He'll get it right.

It would be easier to just swap Ainscough with his centre.

100% - put ainscough at fb and its just a high ball down the middle. get ainscough inside and his centre outside for 1 tackle.

All this could be solved if he would just jump

Yep.



On the first point, Briers would have been experienced enough to kick when Ainscough was on the wing, or would have peppered him at fullback anyway

Saying that one of the best and most respect wingers in the NRL El Masri often comes inside on the last tackle to let others deal with cross field bombs as it’s a weaker part of his game.

Especially at the start of the season when he had Idris inside him scooping them out of the air.

It can be done but needs thought put into it and a system working out.

Zero chance of that happening then

But he always seems isolated on the wing. More isolated than any winger I've seen before. It's obvious that the opposition are going to target him so we must figure out some way of counteracting this tactic. We can't just let it happen.
During a game I've seen players swap positions in a matter of seconds, usually because of tiredness or injury and this isn't planned. Surely Noble could plan something.

He didn't jump at Warrington because he was moving backwards. He should be coached into positioning himself outside the opposition winger so he can move forward for the ball.
