| I agree too.
But I don't think Lenegan will put his hand in his pocket. I think he is too tight.
I do expect to see IL give Noble an extension on his contract, so more dross for first half of next year/season.
I can see decent players like S.Tomkins and Ainscough going to other clubs for success if they don't get some forward cover. I mean why was he going 'head to head' with that big curly haired Ozzie ? That is a forwards job.
At the OP. Bring back Mo for me !

| I think we bottled it truth be told, the big stage was obviously too much for this team!
Good luck to Warrington, with regards to change and all this, up until St Helens we were 4 matches unbeaten and i didn't see many threads calling for change.
infact some threads wanted Nobby to stay on for another season,. however this history Wigan carry and the reputation they had back in the day so to speak, brings expectation to whom eva puts the Wigan shirt on.
Maybe just maybe, we need to lower our expectations a bit!. Sacing Nobby i don't think is the right thing to do, in my opinion, you look at his career stats, he is a good coach, we need stability not more turmoil!

| I don't think you bottled it today, what needs changing is your pack. and maybe your coach.
but your pack was in the whole steamrolled by wires, this lead to monas and briers running the show.
replace Feka, Fieldon with bigger meaner props and that wouldn't be a bad pack

As revealed at the Fans forum... Noble does not want to be coaching in super league after next year... therefore we will have a new coach at the end of this year or next... so the whole stability arguement goes out of the window for me... if we can get the right man this year... nobby's gone... if we can't get someone with the right credentials... nobby stays... simples!!!

| IMO the current Wigan team have a lot of players that are being carried by the rest.
In these games the likes of fielden, lulu, gleeson and few others should step up and help the likes if tomkins.
I also think fielden is finished. I know he not played well for few years but I've always expected him to bounce back.
I like fielden as he seems down to earth and very honest about his lack of form but he either needs a change of club or a new coach to come in and maybe give him boost.
Also hanson is rubbish.

1. Sorting out the coaching situation. If what he says is true and I have no reason to doubt him, we're still fecking about with it and even considering a year extension for Noble - hopefully today proved that Noble can't take us to the next level. We desperately need an experienced NRL coach and Lenagan will need to put his hand in his pocket to get one. You only have to look at what has happened to the last two clubs who have taken on coaches who have only coached in the NRL. Brown at Huddersfield has worked wonders and made them a tough, rough team who are hard to beat, and Anderson at Stains took them to an even higher level. Put your hand in your pocket and get a CURRENT NRL coach.
'"
Agree totally with the above.
Regardless of the period in the first half when they absolutely steamrollered us, the same problems were there that have cost us for 3 years: poor composure, panic offloads, dreadful ball control. Yesterday we basically surrendered field position and then went into 'rabbits in the headlights' mode for most of the first half. Just like we did in the Catalan game and the play-off game in Leeds last year.
Leaving aside these basic flaws in our game, let's look at our tactics. We have 2 types of attack on each side- the kick to either corner or ball to Tommy/Sam with O'Loughlin/Phelps coming in on an arc and out to either centre, winger, or touch judge. The opposition know where the ball's going as soon as it's played. In defence, we apply a four-steps-up-and-hold pattern which gives the opposition space and time to move the ball. Look at Monaghan yesterday, he was allowed to absolutely run riot.
The composition of our team is not balanced. We only have one genuine half-back and little on-field organisation or leadership. But for all of the stuff above, I blame the coach.
He's failed to instill the correct mental discipline in the team. His tactics are conservative, predictable and years out of date. And the basics of our game like ball control remain as poor as they were 3 years ago.

Lower our expectations? All i expected yesterday was effort, not that garbage that was served up for most of yesterday.
Also, stats mean nothing. Millward had a decent record, but almost ruined Wigan. Some coaches just don't fit with aome teams and Noble is one of these. Time to get rid.

| I'll be honest, what despares me more than losing the semi, is that nothing will change for next year!
This squad will not win things, we are improving year on year, but the bottom line is with no new players I don't think we will be far off the mark (agian) we are well capable of third as a squad. However we won't be able to get too the mark! It's that simple.

| Next years team to be competitive needs to look likeNEW NUMBER 7
NEW NUMBER 8
Riddell
Coley
Mossop
Hansen
O'Loughlin
Prescott/O'Carroll
Feka/Fielden
Flanagan/Joel
Tommy
Pryce, Goulding, Farrell, Davis, Tuson as back up.
***Carmont to stay but if we could get someone like Atkins if he leaves Wakefield then I hope we would show interest.
Ainscough/McIllorum out on 1year loan deals with recall options.
Bailey/Smith/Hock out which would easily buy us the players we need.

Mossop. McIlorum and Ainscough to be in the starting 17 next season - don't care who misses out. Farrell to get some game time this season and come through next.
