What's Alex Murphy doing ?

If nothing else, he would give the players a rocket up their backsides and drop non- doers, in his own inimitable way

Stu

That's no way to describe Andy Gregory - he gave you stirling service over the years.

Unless you were referring to Ian Lenagan.................... or The Colonel himself

Shaun McRae

Again, no chance.

Who said the NRL teams were better?

It depends what you call success Anderson won More Challenge Cups and topped the super league 4 years in a row, Millward However when 2 Super Leagues.

Millward's performance at Leigh and Saints would suggest that yes he was a decent coach, He was fighting an uphill battle at the start with Wigan, not made any easier by the dressing room turning against him.

Shocking coach. Regarded as a bot of a joke within the coaches circle. BN makes him look like a guru.

My bad on the NRL, i meant to say that the NRL teams are far superior to SL teams despite the WCC results.

A coach has to be right for a club. Millward was wrong for Wigan because of his personality, and history, just as Hanley may have been for Saints, despite his success.

It does not mean that Hanley would not be good for Wigan.

Do you not think Hanley's personality is going to be the exact same at Wigan, He's still going to rub people up the wrong way. Does it also not worry you, that he's quit/been sacked from every club hes been at?

Every caoch quits or is sacked in the end. He has been successfull at both clubs he has been coach.

Noble keeps indicating there are players with issues and ego's at the club, who should deal with those? I personally think Hanley is the man to deal with the ego's as he is the biggest of all and he will have the respect of the players because of his reputation, not sure Noble ever did have that on his side and as time has passed his coaching and tactics have been exposed as poor in my opinion.

There are no guarantees, Hanley would do this though, Some of the players at Wigan have been through a number of coaches and have shown no signs of change, also some of the new guys have a history of problems, Riddell for example didnt turn up to a training camp due to being intoxicated. Hanley also failed to control the players he signed at Saints, namely Trindall and Adamson.

There are no guarentees, but i have suggested options.

To turn it on you, as you are keen to pick fault, what is you answer to the coaching issue?

You are keen to pick fault with Noble, Im just questioning your idea that Hanley would perform much better. I don't think there many/if any better options out there at the minute. I'm of the opinion it would be very harsh for you to sack Noble after 3 games.
