Indeed it was (to most of us). However there were a few posters on here who stated that only a place in a final would justify the change in head coach, just looking for confirmation.........

16304_1526976105.jpg [size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

Noble put a lot of work into improving the youth system at the club i.e. the Accelerate train-on squad.
His coaching and the players he brought in kept us up in 2006. That's more than enough for me and I'll always be grateful to him for that.

Here we go again.
Overhauling every level of the club, getting Orrell put in place, improving the depth and experience of a squad to aid the development of the likes of Sam Tomkins. All our young players look up to the likes of Phil Bailey. Yeah, Madge has improved the fitness side of things and changed the culture, but to pretend that Noble didnt build some very solid foundations, is frankly idiotic.

| I reckon Noble would have liked to play against similarly weakened Leeds teams at that stage in recent years . . .
No question MM is an improvement on Noble though.

We couldn't even beat Catalans in semis under Noble.

| like many coach's noble tried to do his best whilst at wigan, it didn't work out how the fans wanted it to and i doubt it worked out the way noble wanted it to.
what i now find strange is that as the season progressed and the team was playing far better than previous years, noble has never been asked " How come you couldn't get them to play like this, Brian? "
