at this moment in time there are no top class coaches available,but if noble goes lam is not the man to replace him.lam is in the present set up at the roosters who are not doing well in the nrl,so if we are to judge him on results it would be a bad move.

Yes hand on hart i think he deserves another 12 months to see the fruits of his hard work come good.
Then i would hope that I.L. would ask him to be Director of Rugby at the club

I feel the club as had to much upset in the last few years and its stability we need now to make us great again next year I.L. and B.N should be looking to a top class coach to be his successor.

Well i would agree he would make a good director of rugby.

What kind of educated Wigginese language is this?

Listen I am in neither camp with Noble, I am not a hater, nor am I a believer - I think regardless of the current situation he needs to be given to the end of season - changing coach now is likely to do no more good than harm.

However, where i take issue with your post is the part that i have quoted which shows how inconsistent we have been under Noble and how far our expectations have sank when a winning runn of 4 games is one of our best - especially as one of them was against a side who hadn't won a game at that point.

And the one who was top of the league dont forget.

Expectations have sank because of how the club was run in the past we are back on our road to recovery in a very hard competition now days any team can beat any other these days. Times have changed and everyone need to move on we cant live in the past we had it to good for to long and it nearly closed our club we have to work within the rules we have now and go forward from here.

And i am sure when Saints good run comes to an end which it will there supporters will be saying just what ours are now.

Each year since 2006 we have won fewer league games each season and in 2008 we were knocked out of the cup earlier than in 2007 and we finished up with a negative points difference. We exited the play offs at the same stage in both seasons so no difference there. So when you look at the overall picture at best you can say there has been no improvement and at worst we have gone backwards.



His contracts up and it is often said on here players should not be judged on their last seasons performance but how they went over the period of their contract. Why should Noble be any different? In 2007 and 2008 we have had to put up with some of the worst RL I have ever seen Wigan play. We have had some equally awful performances so far this season.

I think out best chance is in the cup because you only need to string a few wins together to get to the final (two more) so even a side as inconsistent as ours stands a chance of getting to Wembley but given our league form we seem as far away as ever from getting the consistency that guarantees a good league position so a good chance in the playoffs. That is after just over three years with him has head coach and IMO that isn't good enough for a new contract to be offered regardless of any cup run.

As to him being the best British coach I don't care where he comes from if he isn't doing a good job which means delivering results after three years he needs to be replaced.

He was being sarcastic..although why he bothered is beyond me as it seems to have been lost on most people!

In your opinion just glad we have someone who owns the club that is forward thinking

If it's in the Sun that he isn't going, won't it be pretty certain that he will?

Thought the thing that got you in the Sun was large frontal prospects

noble is linked with the roosters job in league express as well. seems be gathering momentum this rumour and we all know noble has had his eye on the nrl for a while now
