I see your points though and all these posts about Noble are really messing with my head in my opinion of Noble, all I can say is that this season has been really disapointing and I expect better as a Wigan fan, I would love for him to stay and be succesful but I really cannot see it atm, and IMO if he is offered a new contract with that run of results even if we do make the challenge cup final and win it or even go on a good run at the end of the season, we are not in a good place as a club because we should be doing better than we are, with this team. I am not sure I would complain if we had poor players but it's the fact that we have good players who have shown us what they can do at times by beating saints easily at murrayfield but overall we are not getting the best out of them. I still support Noble untill he leaves though, it's not up to us who stays or goes.'"
Okay the wording was put poorly. They weren't one off results but they weren't consistent. They are dotted out over the course of the season and it is annoying how one week we can put a brilliant performance (like the first 15-20 minutes of the Salford game) and then lose to Celtic Crusaders.
The semi-finals in the league have covered up the cracks of the side and I think honestly if you took out Trent Barrett we wouldn't have even been in the position to get close to Old Trafford. Even with him in truth we have well and truely been beaten by Leeds twice in the semi-final.
Catalans in the cup is the closest we can to a final and a sniff of a trophy but I don't put this down to us being a good side and Noble being a genius it is because on our day we can put in a one off performance and so subsequently we are a decent cup team.
