I believe that is part of the tension between the 2. IL as you say cannot interfere directly and he has to allow Noble to select whom he wants but in less direct ways and bhind closed doors IL expresses his views. If we accept that IL is a 'fan' then that gives him the mentality of a fan. we often pick the team hypothetically etc.

Behave yourself





If true. Noble should resign and explain why he is doing so. Noble is the coach and IL should stay as far away from that process as possible. If he has such serious with the way Noble is doing his job, he should sack him.

If this is true, god help us.

Yes, but the difference is, it really doesn't matter what we say, because we aren't involved in the process. As such he should act accordingly and leave it to the coaching set up to deal with. Owner or not.

Most RL media employees would confirm it.

Unfortunately, I cannot print for a example a comment because by doing so it would become evident to IL/Noble who said it.

Other than Wane, everybody at the club tip toes around stroking both IL and Noble's Egos.

Massive massive MASSIVE "if" there.

There's only one winner there then, he who pays the piper etc.......

True. But IMO if it wasn't true, Charlie has already "slurred" both their characters sufficently to see some kind of comeback.

It would make sense tbh in terms of team selection and Noble seemingly wanting to get a 6 in.

Very true but never under estimate how much politics goes on at a professional sports organisation.

An example of selection politics. we played Catalan. A forward had an injury doubt. So a reserve forward was given the reserve spot. At the last minute that was changed and Sam T was given his place. The forward with the injury doubt broke down within minute of the game starting and we had no reserve for him on the bench.

Just as a really silly example. The reserves drew a game v Bradford last season IIRC and Sam T bombed a try when all he had to do was pass the ball. He was told not to turn up at the post match video evaluation and when the rest of the team were shown the plus/negative points they ended the analysis before the last couple of minutes so to avoid showing the error by Sam T. How crazy is that



What we as fans do not realise is that sometimes coaches make promises to players and then if they break that promise it becomes an issue.

You complain if I post as regards you and yet you are here again.

I would be interested to know who gave Cruncher my IP addresses also. Invasion of privacy?

It seems IL deliberately didnt sign a 6 thinking it would force Noble would play Tomkins.

Noble was obsessed with signing Bird. However, the rumours re unloading other plyers cause a great deal of unest.

Just to back you up on this Charlie, I was told of friction between them last season.
