Which means we either provide him with a half back and some props, or we appoint a new coach. i sitll dont see us winning anything with a different coach and this team.
Quote: DaveO "It may well not be a Noble type squad but even if IL signed them all Noble should be getting better out of it.'"
Agreed.

| Quote: Father Ted "If I thought for one minute that Brian Noble had the squad he wanted I'd say get him out.
This is not a Brian Noble squad.
They are most certainly not a Noble pack, nor do we have Noble style halves.
Before we condemn the man give him the players he needs and probably wants. Only one forward signed since IL bought the club, Riddell.
Props have been our priority for years and we don't look any nearer signing one now than at anytime in the last 16 months.'"
Dear God Ted. Fielden? Hock? Lockers? He's been here 3 years. If you had your way he would be here 20 and you would still be making excuses for him. He cannot coach. He cannot build teams. Deacon, Smith, Elliott, Jennings made Bradford.

| This squad is ABSOLUTELY a "Brian Noble" squad.
It may not be made up of the same type of players that he had at Bradford, but he has overseen the signing/re-signing of pretty much EVERY SINGLE PLAYER in the squad.
If he didn't want them, he should have said that and then not extended/renewed their contract.
He has had the choice of every man on that team, and has chosen them as his players.
I agree with sundayroast - I am also (sadly) of the opinion that Brian Noble has run out of ideas.
As with every game that we play, he has tried "Plan A" and when that has been found out/failed he reverts to....... "Plan A"
No Bull - Taxi's waiting.

| Personally, I don't care.
Noble is paid to coach the team
Wherever the players come from is of no concern to me.
He simply needs to get the best out of the players we have, every week.
If he was even remotely capable of doing that, we'd be in the top 3 or 4, rather than the bottom 3 or 4.

But the players we have are under achieving.
Our squad, on paper, is a mixture various international players, ex- top NRL stars and some of the countries best young players.
At the end of the day, Ian Lenegan is supplying the tools but they aren't being used correctly.

And nobody would argue Noble is underachieving, but IL should not be providing the tools, just ensuring they are resonably priced.

| Quote: Pie Eyed "Again with the "Wiganer" bit.
Which GOOD Wigan-born coaches have we had recently ???
And were the following Wigan-born? John Monie
Graeme Lowe
Frank Endacott
Stuart Raper
Admittedly, our best coach (imo) of recent times was born in Wigan, and that was Mike Gregory.
However, having a Wigan-born coach matters not one jot to me, as long as we get in a motivator, who will take no cráp from the players'"
You missed John Dorahy off that list

What 'ex-top NRL stars' are these then?
Richards at a push.

| Amos Roberts - Top try scorer one season. Averaged over 50% try scoring ratio.
Tim Smith - Dally M Rookie, 40 assists in 1 season, touted as the next Johns.
Phil Bailey - Ex-SOO and Australia player.

Ah yes but with Mo we got the best !
Martin Offiah, Gene Miles, Brett Kenny, John Ferguson,Hanley and he wanted to sign Wally Lewis.The list was endless of great players.
Look at this sorry lot we have signed now.

Smith and Roberts never played Rep football. That says a lot. Secondly, Smith's well reported mental issues are clearly still troubling him which are outside the control of Brian NOble.
Bailey only played SOO because of the woeful injuries suffered in that season. He is a very good player but far from a 'top NRL player'.

He got selected for Australia after that series too.
Injuries or not, he must have been one of the NRL's top players to gain selection.
It's obvious.
