Quote: Father Ted "No it's not all Noble's fault.
Noble has won the lot and repeatedly, when he had the players.
He won't win anything here until we have better players.
That's front row, halves, centres & FB. We are ok back row and wings that's all. We need 6-7 new players and better than the ones we've got.
Brian Noble can identify them but he can't do anything unless Ian Lenagan signs the cheques and brings them in.
The lack of effort and concentration plus poor spirit is down to him. However, if those problems are due to the players themselves knowing they aren't good enough then it's down to both Noble and Lenagan to sort and quickly.
Like all poor performances by companies be they sports or anything else, the responsibility lies with the owners & BOD!
Wigan RLFC is no exception.'"
totally agree. nobby doesnt sign the players as people suggest, he suggests players. IL has final say. from there yes nobby should be doing a better job of the training and mentality but he can only work with what he is given.
signings wise, use of cap wise IL is no better than Mo for mine
