| Quote kirkamania6="kirkamania6"There is a lot more wrong with our club than just not using homegrown talent really. Radlinski's book is meant to give a good insight into that (not read it yet meself) The culture within the club just isn't right at the moment.
I do agree with what you say though. Bring through the younger players (you can see yourselves with Lee they are good enough) and have a small number of top class overseas players. Amongst that we need leaders for the youngsters to look up to and who will help them develop as players., in the mould of Farrell, Radlinski and more recently Barrett and Fletcher. Lockers and Bailey are the only 2 guys who seem the type of players to do this and Bailey will move on at the end of the season to accomadate younger players like Mossop.'"
fair point. Wigan could be such a different team / prospect if everything was structured very differently. I suppose they became the victim of the salary cap - unable to keep youth as the demand for trophies was too high now suffering from a lack of homegrown leaders and rolemodels for the current youth to aspire to. |

I'm not one to moan about the salary cap because I think it is a good idea and we could have used it to our advantage but didn't
I agree that we could be a different team if we had a better structure and that's why a lot of Wigan fans want to see the back of Noble (including me) I appreciate all Brian has done for Wigan but IMO he has taken us as far as he can and its time for change, they just need to find the right guys to bring in which is easier said than done |

Noble's problem is himself. He was everything about Bradford for so long that he is just not suitable for Wigan. Don't get me wrong, he was the right choice at the time but his is synonymous with the peak of Bradfords dominance therefore he will never be truly accepted as a Wigan Great.
Bradford should consider recruiting Noble back to help McNamara as it would generate the interest and rekindle some passion from those current doubters at Bradford. |

Noble back to Bradford would be great for Bradford, Noble and Wigan IMO
Noble has had enough time to put a team together (ie a huge pack) to suit his tactics. Has he done it? No. Have we improved each year as a team? No.

The only huge pack he has at Wigan is a large novelty box of playing cards.  |

lf l were Ken Davy, my first question would be to nathan
Do you want this player
Yes , ok lets deal
next question to Mossop
Do you want to stay at Giants
Yes, ok contracts with previous club not worth a jot sign here
lf the answer to either question is NO
Taxi for Mossop,
Let Wigan pay, and train their own players
