If that's true then Noble will be gone from Salford very soon.

Yep. Surprised if Noble takes the job. The shipping out of Noble is knee jerk but could be justified if Wayne Bennett came waltzing off the next plane. The fact Iestyn Harris is viewed as the answer is crazy.

Whatever happened to Graham Lowe & the NZ connection?

Not sure on this one. We heard recently that the Doc said Nobles position was safe. Usually when this is said that particular person loses their job pretty soon after and its happened again.
If Noble moves upstairs , then this to me means it has been planned for a while. If its a knee jerk reaction from the Doc , then im sure Noble will just walk.

As for Harris , dont have a clue how we will do. Im not sure if many assistants have become quality coaches over time.Im not sure you have much time whilst the Doc is running the helm. He doesnt seem to realise time is needed to build a successful club.Personally I have some doubts over this. Time will tell i guess.

Tonight's Salford Reporter "Salford Red Devils could be set for a coaching staff shake-up before Easter. Reds' owner Marwan Koukash insists any such moves will only be done to strengthen the hand of head coach of Brian Noble"

Oops.

How crazy is sport? Last night was arguably our biggest result for many years and we fire the coach the day after.

Dr K has high expectations and I would agree that your present team should be performing better. Whether Harris is the right person to enable that is another matter though. He's a big risk IMO.

Noble shouldn't have bn given the job in first place, was disappointed last yr when he was. The Red Devils will be putting on some shift plays inside their on half vs. Bradford for sure. Rat Mullaney and Junior Sa'oo's passing is going to be put to the test, and I hope it is too.

Saints got to the Grand Final in 2011 and by I think five matches in to the 2012 season Simmons was gone. There is no method in it. However, while you did have a great night in that you got through to the next round, you did also concede 36 points. Defence hasn't been your strongpoint. You won't get much further if you keep conceding at that rate IMO.

I'd like to think that this was the plan.
I don't particularly like Harris but I think he will be good for us.
If it comes as a surprise to Noble,and he's taken it badly, then I think it's a stupid decision.
The Doctor has his own way of doing things,an understatement I know,but that doesn't mean he's right.
Forget whether Noble deserves more time,he certainly does, this is not the right way to run the club

I was thinking about this earlier. Surely Lowes and Nobles paths crossed in the past, you'd also think that if Lowe does still have any input that surely he'd be mirroring what we are all saying in that Harris at the time of his career simply isn't the answer.

Reading comments about Noble losing the dressing room and then him getting the chance to move upstairs doesn't really fit with me.

Think deep down there is something else here that we might never get the real truth behind.

Still say though that Harris isn't the answer by a long chalk.

Bobby Goulding will be coach at Salford.....you heard it first here from a Wire fan in the know!!!

And the following week we can quietly shut the club down.
