Should we have gone for him when he said that he wanted to get back into coaching a Super League club again. He 's certainly turned wire around.

No. He's such a boring man. Good coach, but very, very boring.

oh well in that case i dont know why we bothered to give him a job.

Strange one, isn't it?

Maybe, but, it would have cost us too much to sack Nobby and brought him in. He has done an ok job at Warrington. Still they're in the bottom half of the Superleague.

Yeah, what you want is a real fun loving character as a coach who turns up for press conferences with oranges hanging from his nose - it doesn't matter about success, its a CHARACTER you want!

If Wigan were genuinely in with a chance of getting Smith (which I doubt) then they missed a real trick and their fans should be p*ssed about it

There's no doubt for me that TS has made a big difference to wire and credit to them for getting him, but I wouldn't have wanted him, hopefully we can do better, and if anybody wonders who I mean look in my sig.

It does go to show though that the anti Noble brigade which I include myself in are right when it comes to show what a change of coach can do for you, had wire stuck with Lowe's I very much doubt they would have got past the quaters let alone to the final.

Pretty sure he'd already agreed to sign for us when he said that. We just had to bring him in earlier than expected.

Why would Brian Noble wish to lead his team to finals when he earns a pretty penny from the BBC and SKY to wear smart suit, tie & earpiece??

Id have had Smith at the time and still would, if Noble goes we'll end up with someone without any SL coaching experience and its a greater risk than what Smith would of been IMO.

Looking at the league table I'd say Noble has done a better job than Smith.

You having a laugh? Smith has done more in 4 months than Noble in 3 years at Wigan.
Let's consider where Wire were when Smith came in, 2nd bottom.
Took them from dead beats to Cup Winners in a few months.

Up until 3 games ago, they were on a par with us the league but took their eye of the ball in the lead up to Wembley.

How much of that is down to the coach and how much down to the players, though?

2nd bottom in the league has nothing to do with winning the cup.
If he gets them into the playoffs from 2nd bottom then fairt play to him.
What I think Warrington have over us is that they know who's in charge next tear. We're in late August and we still don't know 100% who'll be our coach in 2010.
