| A loss against Quins and he has to go, a loss and poor performance he should have the balls to resign.
A win at Quins gives him a lifeline, but a heavy loss/poor performance against either Bradford of Leeds should do it.
I would be shocked to see him in charge much after the Leeds match at the longest.

Therein lies the question..... when do we think he would get the boot ? Probably not in the next 3 games bearing in mind what the chairman has already said.
When do I think he should get the boot ? If we lose at Quins ( not easy ) and then lose at home to the Bulls, thats when.

Exactly. With a weaker squad than last year, I really don't know where the high expectations came from. Didn't expect 3 defeats out of 3 mind you

33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| Word from within the back room staff is he has 2 more games, therefore the Bradford game.

I'm not sure about that. 3rd at the very best I'd say, 4th/5th more realistic. Saints and Leeds are well ahead. I'd even say Warrington have a better set of players than you on paper (but we all know they're the most inconsistent side in the history of the game ever).
Looking at your backline, you don't have anyone who really scares teams. Richards and Carmont are decent players, but they're no World beaters. Your back row is fairly strong but your front row isn't comparable to alot of sides. Wigan should've recruited a prop who can lead you around the field e.g. Ruben Wiki. Losing Barrett was a huge blow as he was an inspiration to the rest of your players, he was a leader. Your halves are simply laughable now. Considering what Noble has to work with, he's done OK for a few years now.
But, it's getting to the stage where this team is Noble's team. In the past he's had the excuse of trying to get rid of the deadwood. Now, he's replaced deadwood with more deadwood e.g. Coley, Mathers, Pryce (barely played, unfit), Smith, Leuluai, Bailey and possibly add Fielden to that list who have simply not been good enough or aren't good enough for Wigan.
I imagine he's not got a great deal of time left. He has to pick up some wins soon otherwise he'll be gone. The games you have won't make that easy either.

| London away, whilst a fun fanboy trip, has generally been a bit of a banana skin for us, so under the current conditions a loss wouldn't be a surprise.
Bratfud at home however, and thus a 5th straight loss, 3 of which are at "Fortress JJB" (aka walk in the park JJB) would be absolutely unacceptable and that would be it as far as I'm concerned.
He's been here 3-years now and having escaped relegation, we are no further on really and playing some of the most uninteresting rugby league I have ever watched, about as exciting as cramp.
Memo to chairman....seek out a succesful current rugby coach who isn't happy that all his best players have buggered off to France and offer him a big wedge., pies fags & beer sorted!

It is and anyone would have thought we would have lost last season, we played bad and won. IIRC the last twenty odd minutes of the game was 31-0 to Wigan.

| I honestly cant see Lenagan sacking Noble, I dont think he would pay out almost a full seasons wages to compensate him and then have to pay someone else instead. There is no relegation so all we have to lose is face. If the fans seriously started dropping off then he may consider it. I did notice at the Cas game that for the first time ever that I can recall the hospitality boxes were not sold out ,
