The 'Noble Out' theme has gone on for far too long and got far too much momentum now, surely someone at the club can see this and do something about it?

I'd rather we paid up Nobby his salary for the rest of the year and gave Wane the hotseat. Maybe IL has someone already lined up for 2010. FFS he can't re-sign Nobby

Saved by the player he wanted before Riddell

No we lost to a side that had won there last 2 games and gaining some form and were at home.

I thought we lost the plot after the High dive on Richards that was not picked up

Rugby League is a game defined by its physical contact. There was nothing wrong with that hit at all. He was in the air prior to Pat taking the ball.

Its a shame Brian had to show such a distinct lack of class during the game to take it up with the ref at half time.

So thats what you teach is it? his arm was under Richards neck with the full wight of his body behind him now thats a high shot in my books try looking at it again. Had it been the other way round the lad would have found himself with at least a yellow and knowing our luck a red.

Probably the silliest post you have ever made Jonh. Watch the replay.

Really? Where? Give em a bl00dy game then!!

Agreed. Looked bad at first but he went up for the ball and didn't get it so went for the player who did. Your not allowed to tackle someone who's in the air but that was more the other way round. It was unusual, but not a penalty offence.

So it wasn't a head high tackle then?

So you don't think it was a head high tackle?


Yes or no will do.

Clearly not, no.

For someone who claims to be such an intellect i thought you would have worked that one out.


Are youn still looking forward to reviving all the posts about how poor us mortals think Noble is at the end of the season?

Yes or no will do.

I've always stuck up for Noble but now i think it's time for him to move on. He has done a terrific job here, keeping us in the Super League and almost getting us to the Grand Final etc. But i think we have to get rid for us to develop as a team and a club. IMO our defence has been poor everytime we have taken the field since Millward took over, with the odd exception of course (Leeds in the CC etc), and we need to add another dimension to our attacking play. Im sick of Wigan being the only team in SL to have no runners trying to confuse the opposition.

Well......thats my two cents anyway
