Am i the only Wigan supporter who is starting to think that gettintg to the CC final would hurt the club more than help. It would hide the inadequacies we have in the team as well as the coaching.

Whilst Noble is responsible for gettig them ready each week the players are responsible to give the best they can week in week out. Over the last 4-5 seasons (Since Gregory stopped coaching) we seem to have a bad culture in the club. Its fairly obvious that some of the players want to be paid a wage for doing as little as possible at times. Whilst Filden gets hammered each week here i dont doubt hes giving 100% i do dboubt that most players do.

Only way to stop the rot is to ban all the players and enforce a curfew on drinking at the club. Dai Young was once asked after a union match what was he gong to do to celebrate winning a game. His response was if i had the energy to go out after a game i would not have put enough in the game. Piennar the South African captain would play a tennis game to relax after a game. Bet most of our players do something else.

The club either gets the best out of the players or we start getting rid of the players who are not performing. also instead of giving them the luxury of a pre season in a warm climate. Put them in a Butlins camp in mid Winter. I think with all the facilities the club has the players are pampred and will only play when they want to. 24 hours after a lose to a bottom tabls side i usually calm down but at this moment im bloody furious with the bunch of prima donnas bunch on clueless no bodies who dont give a about anything.

weve been here before Noble will say it wont happen again the players will win the next 2 games but it will happen again as it always does. I can accept losing if the players give thier all buit to lose as we do is pathetic and sorry IL youve turned us in the Quins in 18 months.

Hopefully a one off?

Wakefield at home?
Hull FC away?
Castleford at home?
Huddersfield at home?
Hull KR at home?
Thrashing at Catalans?
The close call at Barrow?

No! Win the cup, then fail miserably in SL. Ta ra Brian.

But whoever takes over a coach is inheriting the same problems. Its going to take a lot more than getting rid of Noble.

Lot cheaper to let his contract wind down than get rid now or earlier in season.

If his contract is up at the end of this season, then wont coast that much to get rid of him. 4 months maximum. If IL has a new coach ready it has to be someone who cant leave his other job at this moment in time.

So true, Ian Lenegan business man before chairman.

Does that compensate the falling crowds?

Lads, I don't work for the club and I'm not on speaking terms with Lenaghan.
It's just the only thing I can think of.

For me it seems Noble is not getting a contract as he can also find another club and leave. IL is not that stupid to let him go and not have a replacement.

Ohh crap he let Barrett go and we got no one.

Lenaghan said at the time that Trent sprang that one on him.

If in two weeks time, we have yet more disapointment, the Quins home game, could see a big affect on the crowd number, do you think IL could act due to that?

No.

He wont do anything until our CC campaign is over.

Is that August 8th or 9th?
