so if wigan play in the best stadium.. have the best young players...and all the trimmings....pray do tell why you are getting rid of brian noble..only to be replaced by a shaun wane...and you always loose in the semi finals??

Because Shaun Wane can get that extra 10% out of players that Brian Noble couldn't. That my friend is the difference between semi and Final. see Wigan Reserves

Kelsall in Sweden then is it...or maybe Cyprus

Noble brought us from a relegation team to a semi finals team and achieved that 2 years ago.
Long before then we all knew that to become a finals winning team we needed new players, a half back and a prop or two.
IL knows this and so did Noble who identified the players he wanted and he felt would take us up that level to a finals team with a hope of winning.
They haven't been signed simply because IL has decided not to. For whatever and many reasons.
The reason we have not improved from two years ago is most certainly not Noble's fault. It is down to IL and his deciding not to bring in the quality players we need to take us to the next level.

Semi finals may be good enough for most clubs but this is Wigan and semis aren't good enough for the biggest club in the game.

Agree with most of what you posted.



I'd like to know why.

Another semi another loss, we in truth never looked like winning it against a poor Saints team.

Thanks Brian for the stabilisation and the systems you have put in place but i have to say i am excited for the future, for the first time in a long time.

Regards the interview BN i think is playing the media game, something he has always been good at. He has been in negotiations with at least 1 club (not celtic) since June, so i think its a bit of a face saving exercise.

He also msaid he had not told the players, looked to me like a good few players knew it was his last game especially Tommy and Fielden in the aftermath of the game.

Do you have automated posts?

i am sorry i don't get it.

Lets be honest, we all knew he was off, the players knew he was off as well. Richards in this month RLW, even said the lads have had to hold back trying to talk to him in welsh. I just think Sky have been putting that question to him for the past 2 months or so and he thought F.I. Yeah I am off. All it did was make the board release their statement earlier than they wanted to.

Another point though being dual semi finalists again at the end of the year looks a lot better than it did at the beginning of the season when we where proper crap.

Note for whoever for next year, dont go to Lanzarote or wherever they go and start the season better.
