Anyone who cares about the current recruitment drive! I wish JK would do the decent thing and leave now.

No bad feelings either, onwards and upwards!

Listening to Noble on Radio Leeds and he is no doubt positioning himself to apply for the job, his answers gave it away 100%.

hope not no another old coach

Oh dear thats not great.

We are still only part way on a journey, for a decent NRL coach/assistant, it may be too much of an ask to bring someone in and sort recruitment out what with uk boarder agency etc.
The club we are now may need some stability as we are still in our infancy, the club we may become WHEN Newmarket is passed could be a totally different thing.
On that thought I have to concede Noble could well be the man on a fixed term contract, giving him time to prove he isn't just Brian Smiths lackey or us time to scour the NRL.
That's if you look long term and have the belief.

noble without a doubt for me .

Its a step in the wrong direction for me.

I agree with you in rugby terms, but as a name to get people in to the ground its probably the biggest available, back him with a young hungry aussie assistant??

Weirdly we have lost, in kear the clubs biggest name to the armchair punters, which sort of say it al about the players we ended up with.

Might agree with you for once on this. I think it would be like for like, swapping one coach for another coach that probably also thinks he achieved enough in the game.
We need someone younger and hungrier, someone who has been around success and strife with still a lot to achieve in a coaching role, these are Poching's comments after today's Wire masterclass.



Notice he calls the players 'the boys,' 'we' and 'Whole group.' JK refers to 'players' and 'team.' For me heartless labels. Poching (and of course Smith) wasn't bothered about the result, unlike Kear, he wanted the side playing the 'way they want to.'

Think Noble would be a good choice, what about promoting from within for the assistants job. Rich Slater would fit the bill nicley

I have the utmost respect for Will and people like JD but i do not want them back at this club under the guise of First team coach and quite frankly anyone who thinks they could do a good job is misguided.

We don't get the new coach right and we'll not push on IMO.

Don't know the current NRL coaching situation so from my limited knowledge I'd go with Noble. He actually achieved something with Crusaders in the time he was there in a very unpromising situation. He may not produce the most exciting teams but they always seem to do something - like getting the basics right and having some creative ideas. If we we are to build then we need to set out a solid foundation next season and he might just be able to provide it. He also seems to be able to recruit decent players to play for him.

So although I know it might not set the world alight I'd go for Noble - at least the ship won't sink!

noble with harrison as number 2?
