Noble and the curse of the Quins : Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:07 am  

I know for sure Sharpe at Hull got the push after losing to us and have a sneaky feeling another coach (was it Sharp at Hudds) got the same after coming under pressure. I reckon if we win against the pies IL will press the button as it will be one defeat too far. I get the feeling the relationship between IL and Noble is not that good anyway but IL is just hoping Noble will turn it round soon but 4 losses on the trot .... that will not wash at Wigan with their expectations.

Cullen got the push before the Wire came to the Stoop with Lowes and won.

Reckon he's safe regardless of our result as thrywont get anyone in before the Bradford and Leeds games. The ones after ours. He'll get sacked if he doesn't win at least two of the next three.

My worry about this game is, we have a habit of losing to teams that are on a losing streak, i.e. Cas, Fax and who can forget Leigh and im sure there have been others, I just hope it dont happen again.

And dont for get we on Sky too and there have been alot of times we havent performed in front of them too.

Funny thing is I really fancy Us too take the pies apart, They are not united fit or playing with any confidence. If We score the 1st try they will be under real real pressure from their followers, Could be a cracker

I was hoping we could give Wigan a good game, and seeing them lose to Wakey made me think we could beat them, but now they have lost to Cas as well I am scared they are going take all their vengeance out on us.

Really hope I'm wrong, because if come 7.15pm next saturday we have won, against the pies, and on sky, I will want to celebrate like its christmas again.

wigan were really poor last night no orginisation what so ever

i'd say based on cas' first two games you were by far the better of the two

fingers crossed for another pies defeat

Fax weren't on a losing streak when we lost to them in the first game of the 2003 season. The losing streak came after they beat us when they lost every other game that season!
