Quote: AJ "Exactly, but que the Goulding fan club on here defending him to the hilt. As for Hansen, absolutely spot on, he offers so little going forward its embarrasing.
They will become top props, but in the environment we have them in currently its doing them more bad than good.'"
Not for much longer, apparently he has asked for a transfer.
Can anyone on here seriously say they wouldn't of signed Riddell/Roberts? Riddell simply isn't producing and as someone as said is about on par with Higham. Even more interesting, we weren't even supposed to sign Riddell as apparently Noble went after Terry Newton but somehow we ended up with Ridell. That may not be entirely correct but it is what I've been told of a fairly reliable source.
Roberts I feel sorry for at times, he's not doing much because he ain't getting the ball much - just like Calderwood, although granted he was poor for the majority of his time at Wigan.
I don't think sacking Noble is a wise-move right now - who else is available? I know someone will inevitably post "BRING BACK EDWARDS!" but back in the real world, he wouldn't give up his cushy well paid RU job, added to the fact he said he didn't want to move back up North until his children were old enough.
The word that Noble isn't getting the players he wants is gathering strength and pace, would Noble willingly take a team with such a weak pack into the SL cauldron? No, his Bradford and GB team's prove that. Then the counter-argument is when Noble signed he said it was "his team and if he didn't choose his team and sign the players he want's he will walk." which hasn't happened.
Very confusing situation at Wigan and one that is showing no signs of sorting itself out - it's been going on for at least 3 years now, someone needs to sort it out or our fall from grace will be well and truly complete.
