Quote: tonyanl "No No NO! Noble inherited a great team at Bradford, Wigan were going down until they broke the salary cap and got Fielden, who, not Noble, was still at his best then and saved Wigan, and he became one of the worst international coaches ever [e.g. he ignored Briers, for years one of the best scrum halves in the world] Why do you think other clubs recently, including Bradford, have ignored him. His teams play boring rugby.
A "Jack the lad" I know, but we should go for Millward. I am a Hull season ticket holder, but live in Lancs. and I watch alot of rugby in Lancs.He never had a chance at Wigan, who panicked, but I saw what he did at Leigh, at St. Helens, and again at Leigh today. He is an inspirational coach, an innovator and a motivator. In contrast, can you imagine listening to Agar........?!! anl'"
I was of that exact mind when he was at Bradford/GB. Over the course of his Wigan spell he changed my mind a bit though, and then he also got Crusaders playing some decent stuff. I think he just plays to the strengths of the squad he has, which was overpoweringly the pack at Bradford (and he picked most of it for GB so did the same).
I'm not saying he coaches champagne rugby, but better stuff than he used to, and certainly better than we've seen from Agar.
