I think you will find a lot of fans still questioned noble..salford are one of the few teams worse than us..we have played 8 won 3 only leeds could be excused as a team better on paper....the rest we should have done a lot better..bradford was good but look how poor they have been this season..I fully expect them to pass us in the league sooner rather than later.

If you think Noble is the coach to lead us to better things then I hope your right...I have my doubt's.

Why do you not know...??

i think noble may have taken us as far as he can and can't really see us challenging this year or next if hes in charge. however he is a good coach. who could we realistically replace him with that is better. id love the whole edwards /farrell thing but it just isn't going to happen. i personally think justin morgan is one of the best in sl but lenaghan would have to pay a club some serious dollar to prise away a top coach

Why talk of the Saints and Cats matches when we play Barrow next?

I think Barrow will worry us. If they beat us imagine then facing Saints?

If the unrest in the camp is true what better way of getting Noble out than losing to Barrow?

We are only 8 games into a new season and hopes of a grand final place have gone, so the challenge cup is probably our only realistic chance of a trophy this season. If they blow that at Barrow it does'nt bare thinking about.

Even then i'm stretching the word realistic to it's limits

You could be right but if you look over the past three seasons, Hudds, Cats and Hull all made it to the final with very average squads not playing well in SL.

I know they all lost but it just goes to show it's the luck of the draw and a trip to Wembley would go down well ............ even if we did get beat. Althought you never know with a one off game.

Ever the optimist

Things must be bad i'm not depressed at all this morning.

There aint no bigger fan of Wigan than Mr Lenaghan and thats whats baffling as to why there isnt any drastic action being taken.

Weve been tactically woeful in every match bar the Bradford game, lets not kid ourselves here, the rugby's pi$$ boring, i was actually bored at the game last night for the first time ever...

Somehow though, im struggling to comprehend Mr Noble getting sacked, it seems it just aint gonna happen

That is not acceptable and looks very likely to happen

IL doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong though and Noble's job looks pretty much safe and I have that little confidence in him that I think Noble will get a contract extension as long as we make the 8

Get Noble out now, He obviously has no idea what to do with this team, or how to manage in the new super league. Come on comments like he thinks hudds should be investigated because they dont let teams get an roll on and play rugby just shows how stupid he really is. any manager should have watched tapes and seen hudds tactics and planned for them. Last night we looked like an amature slow, unfit side, there was no flow, no passing, no movement, no passion. We are playing for penalties, that for 1 winds me well up, we are playing like a bunch of footballers.
right rant over.................. for now

I'll repeat what I said on another thread.

We DO NOT look like a well-coached team. Look how Saints attack opposition defences - use of the Dummer runner is superb - we are a long, long way away from how the top 2 play.

We haven't progressed at all under Noble - the way we are playing, we wil be lucky to get into the top 8.

We have a decent enough squad of players - but are poorly coached. If Mick Potter, McLennan or Nathan Brown were coaching us - would we be a better side?? Of course we would.

Lenagan needs to get rid now - with the hope of salvaging the season - he needs a top Aussie coach - and pay for him. We are the most famous club in the world and should not accept mediocrity.

However, I have no faith in IL - I am off to the bookies later to see what the odds are of Brian McDermott becoming the next Wigan coach. Lenagan knows him from Quins after all.

Enough is Enough with Nobby. Great bloke, but it isn't working.

The real question those wanting Noble out should be asking themselves is, off current form, why does anyone think IL will shell out the £££ for a top quality coach.

He will appoint a #2 from elsewhere who in real terms, won't do much at all except have his players picked for him.

IL will not sack Noble he wont pay up. i'm afraid were stuck with these performences,lack of spirit and togetherness shown by the players untill his contracts up

But please dont start thinking of the Murreys and ricky Stewarts of this world

It will be a in house appointment.In other words the cheapest option.

We'd turn into the new Wire and the way they were reluctant to sack Cullen.
