I've just been thinking that I prefer having this new coaching set up (not proved yet of course) than having won the Challenge Cup. It seems that if we had won the Cup things would have been status quo. However, I'm excited about next season. Much more excited than I would have been with the Challenge Cup in the trophy cabinet and nothing changing.

Challenge cup no doubt. Trophy drought has gone on too long.

Having listened to the Rugby league programme on GMR last night I think the whole town is excited about our prospects for next season. I can't wait and this season is only just finishing. |

I believe i would feel a lot smugger than I am now (ala Hemmings), but IMO Noble would still have gone even if he won the CC.
You can call me greedy but I would have taken both CC and a new exciting coaching set up.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the new coaching setup.

| New coaching set up obviously as it was shown you are not good enough to win the challenge cup  |

Spot on, as Wane mentions in his interview "change was needed and its not acceptable". |

Maybe one way to look at this would be; would Warrington have preferred the CC with the prospect of Lowes in charge for the forseeable future, or have Smith to look forward to for the coming seasons. I understand that the parallels aren't exact and that their trophy drought was somewhat longer than ours, but I still fail to see how many would take the trophy and Lowes rather than Smith and the prospect of challenging for/winning trophies for many seasons to come.

I would go with that too.
We won the cup in 2002 but failed to kick on and then things just went from bad to worse and then to hell with the club heading for relegation.
I think that the majority of people that travelled to Widnes for the semi-final of the cup would have realised that Noble had to go, not just because we lost but because we were exposed tactically more than ever in that second period of the first half. |

Neither were Warrington and yet they won it.
