Noble has got Cas job at end of year as matterson going bak to oz

I also suggested Millward as a potentially improvement on Kear for us - have suggested it for well over a year.

Yes Millward has got flaws in his game (as has Noble) and if we was Wigan, Huddersfield or Warrington the neither of them would be the answer, but seen as we dont have the pick of the crop we need to be sensible about who we can possibly get. It has to be somebody available and both Millward and Noble are, presumably, available.

I am not suggesting that either of them are the messiah, simply that they are probably available (and have been for a long time) and would both be an improvement on what we have at the moment.

That depends on wether or not he (JK) knew or not i suppose, and i suppose we will never know (i certainly dont know).
Im fairly certain at the time Noble knew he was overspending (hadn't Radlinski had to play for love/free, after retiring just prior to Fielden's signing because there was no room in the salary cap?) so therefore he knew what he was doing was wrong.
What i am not trying to do is compare Kear with Noble or make him out to be a better coach, just to clarify that point.

I remember Ned Catic scoring a good try as well and the massive cheer that went up when they put the Cas score on the big screen.

IMO neither are guaranteed to be better than Kear, and both or certainly Millward anyway, would be available for a reason, nobody in SL wants him.
Noble could well be waiting for a bigger club than us (or won he considers to be bigger anyway) I don't know.
If Kear is to leave, I would love to see a hungry young Aussie coach to come in.
If we are to make ground, we need new methods, hunger and someone who has the inside track on talent down under aswell as the ability to bring the best out of British talent.

If we was a mid table side looking to kick on to get to the next level (like Hudds, Wigan and Wire to a certain extent) then I agree completely - a young up and coming coach from Oz, maybe an assistat, would be the way to go without doubt - I reckon to get to that elite level the British coaches at the moment aren't good enough to do it.

Trouble is, I dont think we are near enough to that level yet, and we need to improve to be a consistent mid table side - to be like Bradford or either of the Hull clubs are what we should aim for first (you know, play offs just about every year) then after a period of stability try to get to the very top via an australian coach.
