why wont brian noble play some of the youngsters such as ainscough farrell etc ?

Because you've been put back together again.

We dropped the ball because we didn't pass it.
The opposition knew who was going to take it up and met him with a gang tackle whose impact made us lose the ball.
I only remember us losing the ball in the tackle.

I sometimes what some posters are sniffing?! You are bang on the money, we did not drop ball by not being able to catch we generally lose the ball in contact, due to garbage technique, something that could and should have been sorted by the coach and also because the defence knows exactly who is getting the ball and is able to pressure them/fully comitt to the tackle as there is nobody else running a support/dummy line!


As for the arm wrestle we always engage them in this RHJ and 9 times out of 10 we lose that arm wrestle and that is the problem Noble does not know anyother way to play than this.

RHJ I would suggest the next step for us in your opinion would be to have 5 scoots and a kick as that is the only simpler game plan than we are employing at the minute.

... as long as Coley doesn't take a scoot I'm all for it

And what if we play brilliant rugby tomorrow and thrash Hull 40-0?

I'll have what he's having ...

I'll need to find out who is spiking my drinks with strong, mind bending drugs.

fantastic, so long as it is not followed by a run of garbage performances, which sadly seems to be the case at the moment.

Noble cannot continue living off out of the blue 1 off performances.

Then he's made up for the previous week thats all.

Pressure will lift on Noble when he puts in a run or five to six games where not only do we win, but we play well and you can see a marked improvement from the majority of players week after week. That the sign that things are good in the camp and the players are responding to the training.

There is zero point winning by 40 points on Friday and then either losing or just scraping out a win against Cas the week after!

It make sound like anti Noble BS but I you have to admit this Wigan team seem only to be motivated by outside influences not Noble him self! Think about it for a min when have we played the best under Noble;

When there was a threat of relegation over us
When we get through to sudden death playoff elimination game
When the fans and Chairman criticised the players perfomances

When ever this team is challenged by something outside the club it responds well. All the above are outside influences and all are times when we’ve played our best rugby? Coincidence…..

Be e scared about the Cas game

because they will come out thinking there australia and end up getting slapped.

Two posts sorry

Not sure the implication BUT

Noble stated in a press interview with one of the League weeklies that his contract with Wigan is a rolling type.

Could not have put it better myself. Re technique. Twice Wakefield punched the ball free from players carrying the ball incorrectly.

In 2008 we never won more than 3 consecutive games. We need to be winning 8-12 to have turned this mess around.
