Why would the roosters want noble when he can't get a rich wigan team who have money to burn into the top 8 midway thru the season?

Not a clue that is why I doubt the story altogether.

Now that Bradford have lost to Celtic - Noble to Bradford would make more sense.

Want me to remove that hook?

For a short sweet answer imo yes.

It may well be a very simplistic way to look at it but our team/squad now would beat our squad two seasons ago with players like Millard, Withers, Calderwood, Higham, DV & Tickle playing then.

Compare what we had to what we have now and players like Lockers, Hock, Tommy, Prescott, Joel Tomkins, Mcilorum, Richards, Feka are all better than they were two seasons ago. We have improved if you look at it like that but we’ve been hit hard/unlucky by the loss of Trent and also Fielden not living up to or fulfilling the role in the team he was signed to do.

Add to that new players like Gleeson & Carmont are better than what we had and even Roberts is better than Calders and Colbon.

We have moved forward as a club but the problem is we’ve not moved forward as quickly as other teams like Leeds, Castleford, Hull KR & Catalan have which has in some ways nullified the progress we’ve made.

Noble isn’t the guy to take us any further than we already are and it’s time to get a coach that can be one step ahead of the game instead of one step behind it.

But to say we haven’t improved under him is wrong.

I still think we are a HB like Dobbo and a prop like Petro away from being right back up there.

Well you were

Anyway you should count yourself lucky there's no relegation because when your old timers leave, you will be down the bottom with Celtic.

Spot on, though the only thing I'd question was whether Noble or the guy who kicked us all over the park on Friday night, young Mr Dobson, was the driving force behind us staying up. Personally I've always been of the view that us staying up had more to do with Dobbo rather than BN. Any vaguely competent coach could have kept us up with Dobbo on that form.

No. We av plaid u 2 time this seazun, an av beat your butt on 2 occashuns. First time, u got ded luki. Secund, we kickt ur butt ded gud.

We is kool, u is naf. Deel wiv it.

Also, Wigin iz sunnyer than Stain, un our birds iz fitter.

You do talk a load of sh*te you idiot,,,,,,

Our staying up was due to the three, Noble, Fielden & Dobson.

Do you want me to remove the hook?


On a serious note though.

Do you think maybe noble did the job he did at the bulls was due to the team he took over?

The bulls was a big strong tough team when he took charge.

Just maybe he not as good as people thought.

With Ian Mcgeechan getting the boot at Wasps there could be a certain Mr Edwards available if the new coach wants to bring his own back room staff in

No it wasn't - I am certain they all played their part and their arrivals boosted the club but the major factors in our survival were all the injuries clearing up at once, and fielding the same side in about the last 12 matches straight, which also co-incided with about 9 of them being at home - had half been away we could well of been relegated.

To give credit to those three only shows a complete disrespect for the likes of Scott Logan, Bryan Fletcher, Danny Orr etc and the efforts 1 - 17 put in.

Now we're talking

Come off it wigan was never going to go down.

Even if millward stayed wigan would have stayed up.

It was just 1 of them seasons wigan was having.

I bet he would have done a good job in the end.
