Noble has made one of the worst decisions in SL history, by loaning out Sneyd. Too old school and thinks too short term and it showed in his tactics and recruitment.

I don't think Gentle can be blamed for the cup final defeat, if we had held the ball 50% more then we could have won! players fault that one.

Some of that might have been Koucash's fault. He seems to want to buy instant success, rather than building up to it over a period of years. There might well have been pressure on Noble to sign 'experienced' players, when all it really meant was that he was getting a lot of past-it hasbeens.

Good evening Mr Scudamore.

exactly my thoughts - koucash wanted big name players in the salford team to attract publicity and thus get bigger crowds in from the off. players who didn't fit in this bracket looked like they wouldn't get in the team so were loaned out.

wonder who actually picks the team at salford

Tim Smith is hardly a big name player, certainly compared to some of the other signings they have made so I don't buy into that argument.

Noble just got it wrong. Whatever happens to Radford I don't want to see Noble at Hull as he's well past his sell by date.
