we had two new coaches this year - Lord Smith and an open top one to parade the cup - not sure if you all know - we won the challenge cup.

cant understand why you want a new coach,noble is doing a good job you have all clicked now and are playing really well,i mean you are in the play offs got to the semi finals in challenge cup all i all it been a good season so far.you have also got a good chance of getting in the final

May have helped that they were both very good, very well coached teams. We aren't. I reckon we'd be less able to take the hit.

But that's my last word on the matter for the time being. It's got so boring and repetitive now that Wire chuckle-brothers are starting to sneak in, having realised that they're no longer out of their intellectual depth.

We demand sucess and trophies which has been in short reply for a number of years, make your own mind up

Isn't this code for "I just lost the debate"?

The ultimate final word on the matter. The case rests.

Perfectly valid point Dave. There is no reason whatsoever not to at least announce if Noble is staying or going. If as stated above that 'IL does not want to unsettle the team going into the play offs' then surely it further points to a b@lls up by him and he should of released the news weeks or even months ago. Who knows it may of even made the team determined to give Noble a good send off. Do the players even know if/who the new coach is next year? Im not sure,if they dont then isnt that going to unsettle the team?





It really is simple yes. Noble is staying or he is going yes or no its not exactly rocket science is it. Could you imagine the uproar had this been Maurice Lindsay?!

Why do you need to know? What benfit would it have?

Maybe, maybe not.

I prefer the idea they treated people like adults and actually decided that the players were grown up enough to be able to take on some news and still play to the best of their abilities. Seems like that concept is a bit leftfield for some Wigan fans.

If the players knew the whole story it would be on here in a flash.

From my experience that would not be the case........and also who is to say it has not been, there have been more than one person including myself saying he will not be here beyond this season.

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to be pretty convinced Noble won't be here next season as if he was getting an extension there's no reason why it wouldn't have been announced. Like I said, if the players knew who the new coach was it would have been posted on here by now, given how they leak info to mates etc. I think it's pretty obvious they don't know who it is yet.
