You won't be signing any players from Wigan if that's what you mean. Only Bailey is OOC but he will be here next year.

Wigan may win not because of Noble, but inspite of Noble, I hope to see hoe good they can be with someone else in charge.

I reckon next year you will realise the grass is not greener on the other side and will regret pushing one of Super League's top coaches out of your club.

You mean like you have with Cullen?

A bit of perspective - i.e. looking beyond the 'I Hate Wigan' poster on your bedroom wall - sometimes helps.

I suspect this is the case.

I hope you're wrong but suspect you will be right and something I and a few others have said for a long time. I can't be bothered going into the details because quite frankly I have becmone bored of repeating myself. That other Noble thread on here is a perfect example. Tiresome. I don't why people can't just agree to disagree.

With regards next year, I have resigned to us losing Noble and him being replaced with a man with little or no experience of coaching first team rugby. It is a gamble that can go either way. only time will tell.

Or how bad?

And I am now going to follow your lead and remove myself from said Thread!

You are absolutley spot on!

Unless we get someone who does have experience of coaching first team rugby. In which case he's absolutely spot off.

So replacing him with someone who has 1st team coaching experience "Guarantees" we will do things better and be more successfull?

I was actually saying it was "spot on" that we may regret pushing out a Top SL coach and thinking automatically that the Grass will be Greener.
This is something the Anti Noble Brigade seem to think will definatley improve just because we have got rid of him, How do we know things will improve.

Anyway, another example of someone trying to give Noble a Bit of Credit and someone trying to discredit him.

As I sadi before Cruncher your asseements are usualyy pretty fair and I don't want go get into a slanging Match but I will say this.

Whoever the New coach will be?
Whether he has or hasn't got 1st team coaching experience/

It doesn't mean we will automatically be more successfull! The complete opposite could be true and we could regret letting BN go.

Who's to say BN couldn't win us a number of trophies over the next 2/3 years?

One thing is for sure, if the new man does come in and wins things in some part he will have BN to Thanks for a lot of the groundwork he has doen in the last 3 years.

Something even Mr Cullen seemed to ackowledge last night on Boots n All when he said that he seems to think that "Something Special" is about to happen at the Wigan club.
It's not often I agree with him but the Green Shoots are quickly coming through.

PS

I would let him go and move on, but only for 1 x reason, I wouldn't want to go through all of this again this time next year!

Its a tough one for me, I go no though as i think BN although doing a fantastic job, has taken us as far as he can.

Also IL would look stupid if he went back on this, however if there is no-one better is he cutting his nose of to spite his face?

The biggest problem for me under noble is the fact that we only play well at the end of the season, doing enough in the weekly rounds to get by.

I do however realise that this is coming from a fans perspective, and that in an ideal world, we would perform each week.

I just think that sometimes you have to take risks.

But as I've said before, if IL gets this wrong I will willingly join in the chorus of disapproval.
