Mr Rule, make thousands happy and bin a simply not good enough coach in Agar and replace him with Noble. These coaches like nobby are like rocking horse dung, we usually just end up with dung coaches. It would give every fc fan a lift in the off season and those fans debating weather to get a pass or not will more than likely get one without agar at the helm. James, you know it make sense.

I would be very happy with Nobby

Dear god NO NO NO.......Noble isnt the answer at all.......besides he only wants a years deal (Wigan are happy to offer that) as he wants to complete 10yrs in S/L coaching then have a crack at Aus.We need to get a coach in pre-season to sort the sods out.

Why?

I dont rate him at all.

Rather have Noble than agar , he has his critics but has done decent job at wigan . We are not going to get bennett,hasler,sheens e.t.c

He has a good track record, he knows how to get a team going at the right time G/Finals, I personally admire him.

We all had this debate earlier in the season and I mentioned Nobby and Tony Smith surprisingly a lot of posters dismissed them and argued they had not really achieved much they are imo 2 of the best coaches in this country with Nathan Brown and Justin Morgan not far behind imo of course.

I think hasler would come, he's already said he's done what he wanted to with manly.

Thats like saying 'Better the Devil we DON'T know' is it not?

Noble has NEVER liked Hull, that was apparent for all to see when he was in charge of GB......He only picked Rich Horne out of peer pressure.....then stuck him on the wing with Senior (who was having a bad season) as his .....Thus making him look average. Other than that....He never liked picking FC players. I actually found myself cheering for the Kiwis at the Test at the KC

Big rumours that Noble is going to Cetic next season with John Dixon moving to Director of Rugby.

This simply cannot go on 4 wins in 21 in any other season would have got the coach the sack long ago

Last season Adam Dykes and Wembley papered over the cracks, as when Dykes played we won

But 2 seasons of this rugby, with this coach isn't good enough he has to go, he gets nothing out of the team at all

It is just getting seriously depressing now, surely action must be taken or the season pass sales will dip big style, we are a laughing stock

Who was Noble's assistant??

The only reasons to appoint Noble would be that he's available and better than Agar. He's not delivered much at Wigan and made some poor/average overseas signings. He's got a poor record on retaining local talent. The playing style he adopts is somewhat outdated. He's got previous with 2 of our senior players for next season.

The next coaching appointment is vital. Personally I'd be looking in Aus and getting the chequebook out. We are not even also-rans in the competition now but established as the worst non-promoted team. A 33-year-old scrum half and a couple of new forwards are not going to magically transform us into play-off contenders.

I am more pi$$ed off this morning than last night. Looking at what was on offer last night was a clear picture of the consequences of a coach out of his depth.
Injuries aside (although there must be a question as to why we get so many more than other teams)
Calderwood out, despite being our POTY and still looking our keenest player in the warm-up
Briscoe back in and not ready
Yeaman back in and not ready
Thackray not mentioned
Thorman sat on the sidelines with confidence destroyed
Tansey moved out of position to 6 to avoid the scenario of our cleverest footballer being played in a creative position.
Money spent on Cordoba who makes mistake after mistake but
Maloney being cast aside.
Radford, re-signed under Agar, making no impression
Berrigan, playing with injections, a world class hooker playing out of position for months to address the recruitment mistake of Thorman

I could go on but you get the idea.

I don't think Noble's the answer but I KNOW Agar isn't.

But that doesn't make him a bad coach. I'd take him in a heartbeat, he'd be a class above anyone we've had coaching this club for a decade or more.
