If the RU defensive coach can do something for us then I've no problem with it. I can't get my head around the whole defence thing this season, at the start of the season it was really good but just a few short months later.......

Fatigue.

The difference is that Noble probably lives within a bus journey of Halifax, hence a part time role is viable.

Listy do people only travel on buses in your world?

Yes, trains are far too expensive. Cost me £2.20 to do a 6 minute journey last week

I bet all his OAP buddies do.

What's a ' train ' ?

That idea by alanw (Hello) actually isn't bad. The staff of both codes have,in fact, been known to speak to each other on occasion. Can't believe nobody else at the Stoop has thought of it. Possibly they have and been rejected due other commitments ie their own season, perhaps? But that'll be over soon and maybe the man in question would like a 'busmans holiday'. Maybe. Certainly a good shout, anyway.

PS - There was a Street Party down my way last Friday for some reason that temporarily escapes me. It was a very warm day so I wore my fave. Quins shirt. ('06 Home, since you ask). Anyway, nice neighbour comes up to me and says 'If I'd known things were going to be political, I'd have worn my Bath shirt.' Then he has a closer look
'[iLEAGUE!!![i you ba$tid!' which I considered to be a suitable opening gambit for a long conversation that involved several additional pints'n'burgers. Great fun. Vive l'Quins!

Dunno what happened there. Sorry 'bout that. Carry on...

They made Paul Sculthorpe travel down to award the boys try of the month at Roehampton and Boot's n' All is filmed in Isleworth I think so a few days a week would not be outrageous, but would obviously be more strenuous than a small journey to Halifax and help with their full training of just a few days a week.

Why would anyone think a coach with no Director Of Rugby experience would be able to assist a coach with little experience of Super League coaching?
I don't recall anyone except Steve Simms in the role in the UK, and possibly Tony Smith, and neither seem to have done much for the actual coaches - given none of them are currently head coaches anywhere.
Maybe David Waite could do the job, but not Noble.
I wouldn't be happy if I was Powell - the club knew the deal.
The clincher is probably cash.
