I will support the mew coach throughout the season but what I will find interesting will be to see how the Noble haters on here will react to our inevitable poor performances next year and lack of consistency. Will it all of a sudden become the players' fault?

But it’s not the players fault imo.

I’d class myself as a ‘Noble hater’ as I think he’s the main problem at Wigan. I still hold the fundamental belief that the players at Wigan ARE good enough to challenge for the title.

We’ve got players here who have played massive roles in previous grand final winning teams at other clubs such as Richards, Gleeson and Fielden and we’ve also got a fantastic amount of talent like Carmont, Phelps, Feka, Lockers, Coley, Tomkins x2, Prescott, Riddell etc have they all turned into bad players over night? All these players can’t suddenly go stale over night.

When you look at teams like Hudds, Wakey and Hull KR all teams that finished above us you can argue our team is just as good as theirs really. We can challenge and it’s not a pipe dream to expect us to either.

When the new coach comes in I will fully back him but I’ll also admit that I’ll be straight on his back if after he’s had a while in the job things haven’t improved.

I realise that his new methods won’t change things over night and I’m willing to be very patient especially in the early part of the season as it will take time but if say in a season and a half we are still stuck here in the same situation of unfit players and poor consistency I’ll be calling for his head because as I said before this team is good enough to challenge.

If we aren’t challenging then it’s the coaches fault imo as the players are good enough.

No it will still be Noble's fault

wanes appointment could go two ways.

it could be a mike gregory type appointment- wigan through and through and the players have the respect for him, not much first team coaching experience but could turn out a gem

or it could be...

a bluddy hell mathers and turn into a total disaster!

heard 2nyt off a very good source that shaun wane has signed a 12month contract with the 1st team.....

Is Noble's not getting a contract due to poor performances and expectations, or is it due to him being 'on a wedge' and Lenegan hates spending ?

I hope it's the former, but fear it's the latter.

Wane is a very well respected coach at the club who is known for standing no sh 1 t.

The young pro's will look up to him big time.

Lets just hope they havent read monies book hey!

Why what does that say?

From memory...only three or four can/should make it through to the first team

What has that got to do with anything?

We presently have 14 come through the ranks playing members of the 1st team squad.

I think that speaks volumes.

Now wane has served his time in the junior ranks and deserves a full time 1st team opportunity. Hopefully he will add some aggression to our pack

Don't know what it's got to do with anything was just responding to your question as to what it says in Monie's book. Maybe he's got a point. Maybe putting so many average youngsters in to the first team is why we are average.

I was refering to how monie said Wane was in training.

As long as its not john sharp i dont care who we get! Lol
