front one always wobbles a bit, as long as the retaining plate with the two bolts is still there

not sure why they have movement, maybe some one can tell us why?

All front sprokets have a little play in them, probably to help prevent the chain jumping off of the front sproket, by finding its way into the chain links better when the chain is flying around when your riding at speed.
Like above.solong as the retaining bolts are tights you dont have a problem mate, just the way it is.
