Quote: jonh "Barrett was outstanding one of the best players I have had the pleasure to watch in a Wigan shirt, he was frustrated due to the coaching of the team. If we had him now we would be unbeatable in this league, although Finch is doing a cracking job his is no Barrett.

Noble had virtually the exact same set of players as Maguire did last year but played 1 out rugby and surrounded himself with a mickey poor back room, much like Kear.

I do not get the Millward hate, he is a cracking coach, he failed badly at Wigan but that was more to do with his history prior to taking the job, he is doing a blinding job and Leigh, and has at every club he has been involved with except Wigan.'"


Not heard a single good word said about Millward the man.

I think Noble tried to carry on the Bradford Dulls kind of play with a side that wasn't as physically dominant as the Bradford team. But you could apply the Millward boast to Noble, in that they've done well everywhere apart from Wigan, but Noble comes out best, in that he turned them around and built the foundations for Maguire. He just couldn't take them to the next level.

As for Barrett, he was very good, but only in patches. You say that he was frustrated by the coaching. I've never spoken to the guy, so I don't know, but I just got the impression that he never really settled in the UK and was always looking for the next plane home.

Millward was never going to work at Wigan. Noble had every opportunity but failed. He jumped ship at Bradford just as it all started to go wrong.

In his last year at Wigan he went to the press stating he was interested in other jobs etc etc.

Barrett was an out and out genius but had no pass selection due to the nature of the team, 2 years of drop offs and short balls killed him. Cant blame him for wanting to go home.

I also do not buy into this built the foundations line, with the exact same team he played 1 out rugby and underachieved, the next year we had bodies in motion running at gaps second wave attack and a far better conditioned team.

Noble is not the man for Trinity. Frying pan to fire springs to mind. There may be a short term boost but now we have an opportunity to look longer term and Noble is not the man to do that for me.

But don't you think that we are in a position much nearer to where Crusaders were two years ago than the pre-Noble Wigan? We have got a smattering of experience and loads of kids. Rather than thinking of how Noble didn't do well with players who are now Grand Final winners, I'm thinking of how he will do with the crop available to him, which is a much different issue.

I personally think you need a coach with modern techniques to move the club forward, not sure how brining in a dinosaur to get the best out of a potentially weaker club is the answer.

You need a technician not a Kear mark II.

Quote: Slugger McBatt "Millward? No thank you.

Barrett was unsettled, that was obvious fairly early on. The game was lost against us and he just spat his dummy and was sin-binned for the last ten of the game.

I'm not trying to build a case for Noble, but I wouldn't be disappointed as a stabilisation for a couple of years. I agree that we should think bigger, but no one in the rugby league world will have gone, [size"Wakefield, got a franchise? Thank God. This is my moment. Where do I sign[/size?"

My thinking is that Noble would be good until we can start to attract the signings we'd like.'"


Maybe not but that's why our next coach should probably be our most expensive signing for the next franchise (spit) period. It's a gamble same as appointing any coach, you reduce that risk by doing your homework and this is my main worry - who is gonna be making these decisions given Glover has admitted his knowledge is limited?
