Myler went missing in the challenge cup game against us at the jjb, tbh I didn't notice him that game, I rate him kind of... I think he's an average player in a poor team.

Myler went missing as soon as all the transfer talk started.
Personally hope the lad comes on leaps and bounds for England's and GB's sake.

whilst martin was a fantastic player for wigan, some of the things he says would suggest he sniffs the bostik on a frequent basis.

Right.

Is Tony Smith still the England manager? I thought Noble had to step down as he was also a club manager?

Yes and no.

Noble was released due to his club connections as they wanted a full time coach for the World Cup.

and then they didn't want to look foolish by having the same thing happen to them again and so conveniently changed the rules. If it's only for World Cups you have to have a full time coach then whats the point in employing TS now? Have the same guy working with them now as the same guy taking them to the world cup.

The RFL did want to have a full time coach for England but there are not enough matches at international level to really need one. Tony Smith got bored doing no coaching for long periods so took the job at Warrington. Noble was not willing to give up his club coaching job to be full time so left when his contract ended. Until there are more games per year at international level there is unlikely to be a coach willing to commit full time as they will be mainly twiddling their thumbs except for a few weeks in late October and early November each year.

Noble was "released" due to epic failure over a number of years.

Smith should also have been "released" for the same reason - although to be fair, he has won at least 1 competition during his time in the job.

Noble and very very few other GB/England coaches have had the luxury of playing a 2nd string NZ team in a 3 game series on home soil.

We won that under him and went pretty well but the mistakes he made in squad and team selection for the world cup were shocking.
