It's true, confidence, mementun and experience have a massive impact and I beleive we will have all three come the end of the season. We are the most likely to challenge the top 2 in the play-offs.

Maybe true but we still coult of done it at the end. All ifs and buts though.

But surely confidence is the preference?

Correct so by saying I think we will have all 3 by the end of the season I think we will be on a good enough run to gain some of this confidence you talk about

I wouldn't say we lack it completely, we looked really confident against Salford in the first 20 mins but because we had not played like that all season we didn't no what to do with the game to really take hold and put some real points past them. We lack composure more than confidence. We are at our best when we put both composure and confidence together as when we have a little bit of beleif and chance our arm we look a good side, but this has only happened a few times each game and when we have the composure to take the chances created we look a top 2 side IMO. Like I said before we are not as far off as some people pessimistically like to think.

I agree, a half, a Prop and a coach, job done.

not quite I think we would of won 4 extra games had we just had Barrett in the side, maybe 5.

What do you mean by your second comment?

nothing off by it, just you seem to claim you are in neither camp on the Noble debate, which is fair enough, but yet seem to support him in most debates.

It's true I am in neither camp. Read my other posts though and I have always said support whoever is at our club, we cannot get rid of them so support them while they are here, I said the same about Mathers. So when people say something against him, I will lightly defend him as he is our coach and we (I believe) should support him. I accept both sides though. If I had to be further to ones side I must say I am more towards the keep Noble side as I like consistancy and I don't think changing coach every 1 or 2 seasons is the answer. Different sport but look at Man United and Arsenal. Noble IMO has not done anything wrong but has kept us safe from relegation and taken us to 4 semi finals and over the last 2 years we have been the 3rd best team and are still the main top 2 challengers for the title IMO.

mate i am not criticising your stance just saying that i find it to be very pro Noble, but you seem to continue to back him while stating you are on the fence, which would indicate you do not sit on the fence.

Either way i respect your view.

Well I did just admit I am more towards pro Noble and have stated my reasons but I still am on the fence as we should support who is at our club as fans IMO. I am not pro Noble though but I will defend him as he is our coach not because I am just pro Noble. I am not also a fence sitter who has a sore cause they can't be bothered making a decision but because I believe this to be the best place to be within the debate.
