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.

Formby sands and Rivie Pike

you are right, big club, big expectations!

Shouldn't be 2 hard tbf. It's a young and talented squad with plenty of room for improvement IMO.

Even our senior players like piggy, Roberts, feka, fielden, gleeson & Richards can play to a higher standard than they currently are and we've just reached two semi finals!

Just don't expect it 2 all change over night. It will take time 2 pull the players into tip top shape but it can be done and it is worth making the coaching change.

It's an exciting time to be a Wigan fan.

for the first time since Millward was appointed coach in my opinion, at least for the right reasons.........although lets hope it promises more than Millward delivered.

How is it exciting, we don't know who the new coach is, its not suprise to see many basking in Noble's glory, but lets wait till Wednesday, then see how excited people are.

Just out of interest, if the new coach only reaches a semi final, I assume thats failure?

What if we finish top and get knocked out in the play offs, I assume the usual suspects will be made up for a tremendous season.

Rubbish. Utter rubbish. Stop twisting things. If Brian Noble was playing the media game as you call in, in other words, lying through his back teeth, it would have been exposed/delt with long ago.

You've got what you wanted, but stop trying to discredit a man, who has more class than anyone on here, to act the way he has in spite of his treatment.

If you're so sure - name the club.

It is exciting because we could potentially be making a real stride forward.

Lets judge the new man in good time not speculate on what could happen.

Its a bit like speculating on how wrong IL is for getting rid of BN when Wigan make the Grand Final.........sadly the confidence or speculation was ever backed up.

Hull.

Do not appreciate being called a liar.

The liar statement shows no class from you, and as a normally sensible poster hope it is the beer talking.

Why, you had Noble judged from day one.

The new coach shall be given time, but I dont see how with the squad we have, anyone can expect more, and why Noble gets the stick he does, but what does it matter, he has been ran out of town, so now, we clearly will be miles better.

The same Hull that have guarnteed to Sean Long that Agar will be the coach next year?

But you are accusing Noble of it, are you not? if he as you said, played the media game as you say, he would have been exposed by now. Perhaps he is just acting in the proper way after some shabby treatment from the owner.

FWIW I retract the Liar statement, as its probably the wrong word to use, twisting is probably better, as you dont have like a anti-noble slant on things.

No i speculated I said I did not think he was the man to take us to the level we should be at, I have credited him and also slated him, but what i did not do was speculate on the success of a new coach 5 days prior to him being named.

I wasnt speculating, I hope the new coach wins the lot, I was merely asking, will he get the same flack as Noble, if we have a similar season.
