With a solid half back partnership which will be round for a long time... who complement each other well... were I thought barrett and lulu didnt always... with a few extra players maybe our early season form in the future maybe somewhat brighter.. we have beaten saints, hull kr, leeds and huddersfield this year... then maybe just maybe we are not as far away as we/I thought....

The team's performances are going to be the casting vote in nobles future not what any of us fans want. If we go on to win the challenge cup and get anywhere near the GF how can the board get rid of him would it not of been a productive season regardless of how we started the season.
I for one dont want to see noble there at the end of the season but who is going to be available with the right credentials.

Something like that. And the Hull Kr and Wire defeats were decent efforts - probably a lack of creativity let us down.

There in lies the problem.... do we take a risk on an unproven coach or do we stick with who we have?? If our bad start had continued to the end then yes its time to move on... but the performances have been great and the win/loss ratio recently has been top of the table form.... If wayne bennet or the guy from melborne came available then yes lets move on.. but if we are going to get an aussie assistant who's unproven at the top level then maybe like I said before "its better the devil you know than the devil you don't"

dreamer

take the cherry and white glasses offs

how many times has this board been calling for nobles head after boring tactics etc ?

bit in bold

that comes from where ?

yes the half backs , but the TEAM which the half backs geneerally controll are playing to a plan given to them by the coach

Go on Stu, who is available who you would have to replace noble.. I guess the same reasoning has been behind the re-signing of coley... what other class props are available?? what class coaches are available??

right now , after a few scoops im not in a postion to say who

what i will say though is a general cliche........

'everybody has a price'

although my choice would be justin morgan

I have been undecided on Justin, he is unproven in play off, semi final, cup matches... yes he can get his team to perfom consistently but what about in "do or die matches"??

Maybe it might be a bit soon after tonights win to sign noble for another year... but if we beat saints again this year and warrington in the semi, then I will be in no doubt that noble has earned the right to stay for another year...

after a few minutes to think , nobody is really available right now

but , was noble when he came to us??

as i said , my choice for the next 3 or 4 years would be justin morgan

look what he has done over there , then think what he could do here with the resources we have

morgans attitude to the game is fantastic , hkr play a decent brand of RL under him too with limited resources

Why? No other team plays at the top of their game for the full 28 rounds... cliched I know, but it really does all come down to the second half of the season.

your opinion , which you are totally entitled too

lets step back and really look at what has been served up though , how many times have we all felt so dispondant that some have questioned if they can continue to turn up ??

lets be honest people, we have seen some dross , regardless of the results ,

i would rather see open , flowing , attacking , expansive , imaginative rugby and lose than the 5 drives and a kick to the corner e that has been served up over the last 3 years

your always going to get blips during the season better to have them at the start. but it is strange wigan always click round this time of the year.

Yes were playing well at the minute but do I think Noble deserves a new deal no, do I think he'll get new deal no.

Well as Noble always points out..they give the trophies out at the end of the season...so for me I'll wait and see..tonight we were the polar opposite of an awful lot of the games we've played ...lets hope we can carry on.
