I know we all have our views on what we would like the team to be next week with regards to putting Flanagan etc in, but I reckon Noble will go with the following:

Phelps
Robert
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Smith
Leuluai
Coley
Riddell
Prescott
Hansen
Bailey
J.Tomkins

Feka
Fielden
McIllorum
Pryce/Flanagan

9 foreigners. It's embarrassing, isn't it?

It would be nice to see more British lads in the team but at the end of the day, I don't really mind who is playing as long as Wigan win! All the points on Friday were scored by foreigners & no-one was complaining, it was 2 points in the bag & that's all that matters really!

No-one was complaining?

I was complaining the minute I heard the team given out, as were lots of people around where I was sitting.

People are starting to vote with their feet regarding the number of foreigners in our team.

If the British lads aren't good enough then what choice do we have but to play foreigners?! We have the best of the local lads in the team already in Hock, O'Loughlin, Joel & Sam Tomkins with Ainscough also making a mark this season! I agree with what Radlinski said in the Observer about some of the young lads not working hard enough! The best ones will come through (ie.the ones named above & previous ones like Rads, Faz, Cassidy etc) but they need to keep working hard! Nobby has shown with the likes of Sam, Mike McIllorum, Joel etc that he will play them if they show the right attitude & determination! A lot is down to the player himself!

We could go back to having young players like Wild, Brown, Aspinwall, Hodgson, Robinson etc in the team, but we would be playing Leigh, Widnes, Barrow etc.

It doesn't matter where the players come from. I'd love 17 Wigan lads but it isn't going to happen because they are simply not good enough in total.

I don't care if we win the cup or Superleague with17 St. Helens born players, 17 Chinese, 17 Africans or some mixture if they are the best available at that time.

They are?
TBH your the only person I hear complaining about it.

We've got the best academy in the league, one of our home products has been selected for england at a very young age and another is getting experience at another club to help him develop.

I don't see the problem.

Whens Eamon back?

And that's the difference right there.

Wigan as a club, and as a central point for the community means nothing to people like you.

How on Earth can it be OUR club if it is packed with Australians, Mongolians or Chinamen?

To be honest, that's a pathetic, win at all costs attitude that has lead us to having a team that has no foothold left in the hearts and minds of local people.

To hear someone say that they don't care if local players play for the club makes me want to be sick.
