Agreed


I still remember that week it was announced he was going to leave us for Wigan. Oh how many many Wigan supporters were celebrating at this news.


How times change

They did exactly the same thing when Millward signed for them after leaving Saints. They thought they had the Messiah.

I'm really not convinced Noble is the answer, even though I doubt it's true.

It might do you a bit of short term good, but I'm not convinced about his record. I know he won the things with Bradford, but he didn't have to deal with the crap hand that McNamara has.

If Noble comes back he might bring the under-performing Fielden back with him, and we can make him world-class again.

Of course, yes


I wonder if they'll ever learn from these quick fixes they keep trying

I'v heard this rumour aswell. Noble back our way and he's getting replaced at Wigan by Adrian Lam. I think it would be a negative step if he came in as head coach, maybe as a director of rugby, but if the clubs finances are as bad as reported, then how could they afford to do that? Wouldn't the money be better spent on a centre or a half back?

Opportunity cost, mate. It depends which is deemed more important by the Board. Noble is a good motivator, which is something we could use, but judging by Wigan's current style of play he isn't someone we should be looking to bring to the club.
