I bet you do

Looks like Noble and Morgan as coach and assistant coach next season then.

Brian Noble would do wonders for cas.

I totally agree he would be a good choice (and i personally think the deal has been done) the thing now is the timing, expect a announcement in the first two weeks of July.

Also heard TM next coach of quins.

Would be vehemently against hiring Justin Morgan and would be disappointed by appointing Noble. Sure Noble is a big name, but I've never appreciated his teams' style. That said, his record speaks for itself, although I'm sure some were saying that when we hired Ellery Hanley.

Justin Morgan has done wonders at Hull KR with a load of money and bending the overseas quota rules. HKR have produced very few homegrown youngsters to SL level, and given the resources Cas have and the impressive youth development we've done, Morgan would be a very poor fit.

Personally I prefer substance to style and I've not seen much of either down the lane for a long while. IMO we need a coach who can produce a side with mental as well as physical toughness and which buys into the theory that defence can be a form of attack (eg Hudds/Wire/Wigan). For me Noble fits that bill far better than any of the others mentioned so far.

I agree about Morgan. If he was appointed I think many fans would see it as a backward step. Same with Kear. With Noble, I'm not keen on his style of rugby and I'd be worried about whether or not he'd continue offering opportunities to the young local talent; however he's got a proven track record and his appointment would give the fans some confidence in what the club's ambitions are.

I really do not want Morgan, never rated him since he took over at HKR.

Noble would show good intent from the club about our future and also an English coach!

I think we definitely need an english coach, paul anderson maybe?

Your right, signing justin morgan would be a backward step...for justin morgan.

You could say the same about a few other coaches re: Morgan.

For instance, could Tony Smith do the same job as at Wire whilst under the limitations at Cas? Could Michael Maguire? Could Nathan Brown?

Wrong. It would be a backward step for us because he'd have a lot of young local talent that he wouldn't have a clue how to support and develop. He's proved that where he is now. Nor would he be working for a club prepared to put itself up the eyeballs in debt to waste money on second rate imports. Granted they're not all like that, infact Hull KR have an overall decent squad, which Morgan's done bugger all with.

I completely agree with regards to Noble and his application of mental toughness, and defensive steel- it is something I would love to see at Cas. As for his "Boring style" I highly doubt that he would simply tell Rangi Chase, McGoldrick and Orr to be boring, rather simply reign it in to play that style in the right place and right time- something we usually don't do, and end up paying the consequences for over playing.
Surely someone such as Brian Noble would also be a draw for bigger players- being outside the big four is always something that is going to be a hinderence in recruitment, and with his reputation in the game I feel it would help us. Also considering the constant rumours/complaints from fans about players in pubs/bars etc I would imagine he would be a well respected figure for the players.

Brian Noble has been successful at every club he has coached. He would do wonders for Cas and he could attract some good players.
