How dare you, that was all Goulding's fault.

Obviously you don't like Noble, but you are just being completely blinded by your opinion of him with that statement.

Care to back up the above statement? I can back up my view.

1. Joel Tomkins. Only got an extended run when Lockers was injured last season. I don't know of anyone who thinks otherwise.

2. Ainscough. Picked when Mathers was suspended and overlooked all last season while Noble juggled players out of position particularly Colbon whom Ainscough looks miles better than. He was a star player in the junior international v the Aussies and had good games in the friendlies. Never got a chance.

3. Sam Tomkins. One game last season v 'Haven scoring 5 tries and never another chance. This season makes the side when McIllorum is suspended.

Tomkins and Ainscough have come into the team and slotted in right away. They were ready and IMO were ready for more than one and zero games last season respectively and I think this is proven by how they are playing now. There were plenty of chances last season to introduce them gradually which is what everyone kept saying Noble should do but this did not happen and now this season because needs must, they are getting back to back games!

It's as plain as the nose on your face that these players would not have got a look in had circumstances not dictated it and my opinion on this is based the evidence of what Noble has actually done (or rather not done) over the last two years with respect to young players. It's an opinion on his coaching not any dislike of Noble.

A little bird tells me connected to an advisor of your club that Shaun Edwards has already been sounded out, but has rejected it due to being on a good screw with the rah-rahs ..... But one name that is certainly in the frame is the return of the prodigal son from Union .... ANDY FARRELL !

Quote Noble on GMR-''We gave our youngsters another experience of the high level of winning rugby that the opposition play''

This the same Andy Farrell who has allegedly just signed a 3 year coaching deal with Saracens?

Noble time? Is that like Chico time but with big old aussies dancing rather than youngsters?

what little patience i had left is wearing thin, and fast, as many have said, the 'youth' only get a chance because he has to pick them

Are You?

Farrell will not replace Noble as head coach.

If he does, we are taking an insanely stupid risk.

I agree with this... Leeds were due a performance like that, I'm pretty sure that's where they were trying to be 2 weeks ago, we caught the backlash... not panick time by any means, Leeds will stick a lot of points on a lot of teams playing like this (they've done it to Saints in the last 2 GF's!)

And this...

It was discussed on hear that coaches get their chances too early not having served time learning the craft, Barrie was even on last weeks Boots 'n All saying the same... If Faz were to come back, it would be on an apprenticeship for me.

I dont think Noble signed Bailey and Phelps for me is still unproven and needs a run in the side, Phelps has good ability and flair and id like to see him a bit more before i start saying he's gash.

Agreed Noble has a few things to answer for
