What he said.

Noble coming to Hull would be underwhelming.

Noble coming to Hull would be awesome plus we could come out to the Thunderbirds Music

Much that i would love to see Noble here, it just wont happen.
a - He would cost to much money.
b - He would want total control of team affairs, which he wouldnt get here.
c - He is not a yes man.

he would cost to much money how the hell did bradford,wigan and crusaders afford him then

not quite sure why some people are trying to pretend that Noble wouldn't be good for us, at least for one or two seasons...

1. He has won plenty of silverware and has the required experience
2. He can make decent and shrewd signings (see Crusaders)
3. He would probably revel in utilising our pack, which is great on paper and could be awesome on the pitch
4. We could give Noble a 1 or 2 year contract which I wouldn't have a problem with
5. At the end of this season we have massive recruitment which IMO Noble could undertake
6. He's a good bloke and would suit the culture of our club far more than Agar

He's the only coach available as far as i'm aware and he's a more realistic target than a "top-class aussie"

Personally i'd give him this season and then perhaps renew for 2012 based on performance and win ratio

To pretend Noble is no better than Agar is deluded

His links to Elliott at Penrith no doubt. If Nobby does take over as our coach let's hope he can go back to Penrith again....just as long as it doesn't result in Worrincy

I agree completely from a coaching POV. If you look at our squad on paper it is good but we suffer from poor discipline, lack of options, predictable strategy and seemingly insane substitutions. Noble may have his faults but he has proven in the past he can handle these issues better than Agar seems to be able to.

I agreed when Rich Agar said that he wanted to put his team together and I gave him the benefit of the doubt to do this, I also think he did a pretty good job at it too...but the trouble is he doesn't seem to now know what to do with them and we need someone with better management and tactical skills to start getting anywhere near the club's on-paper potential.

If we'd signed Witt or Sammut and Long had gone elsewhere there would have been uproar on here.

Dont think so. most people with half a brain new Long was well past his sell buy date.

I think you're wrong and at the very least we would have had the 'lack of ambition' line trotted out again. Guess we'll never know for sure.

what planet are you on...long is at least 2 years past his best, and anyone with half a brain could see that the guy is finished.....hence him playing about 20 games in 2 years

By ringing your old boss to ask for a favour.
