we aren't warrington

If the management is interfering in recruitment then that needs to be tackled FIRST. It undermines the coach completely and threatens to disrupt team cohesion.

Under such divisive circumstances it's not difficult to imagine cliques forming with one side claiming the other has no right to be at the club. Especially if results aren't good.

What RL coach genuinely (not solely for monetary reason) wants to work in such an atmosphere with his hands tied behind his back?

It's insane.

Completely agree.........but it happens.


I am not saying it's currently happening at Wigan, but one or two of the aquisitions (or lack of) do raise a few questions.

It isn't happening at Wigan. All signings are discussed by the coach and the board before any decisions are made, and the coach can veto any one of them.

Then that's great news.

"You can't assure us of any such thing. You're a fan, just like us"

Good to see that comment hit home.

But as I said before, our conversation's over.

Good to see hypocrisy is your strong point.



As over as it was when you posted this response, or over according to definition of the word? You appear somewhat unsure.

I'm not sure to be honest. I can't say I've been bowled over by Noble's judgement calls in recent times.

Maybe not, but it's exactly how things should work.

I agree with brettkenny tbh.

The coach should make the decisions re signings, not the management (IF supposing that what has been rumoured is true). The coach is there to deal with the rugby aspect of a club, if he isn't then head coach would be the chairman end of.

If this is true, then its a HUGE problem and needs sorting asap.

It isn't a huge problem. It's actually one of the most overstated 'problems' at Wigan. But not just at Wigan.

Tell you don't really believe that the head coach should be able to sign players willy nilly, signing any cheque he sees fit, without at least consulting the guy who holds the purse-strings. Tell me you don't believe that.
