a poor hull fc team that beat an equally poor if not worse overseas filled less than average team!!

That's probably spot on actually. A decent side would have beaten Hull tonight, unfortunately Wigan aren't a decent side.

The Hull side is poor, Noble will say "we were out enthused", I am aware that Phelps pulled up after 20+ minutes with what looks like a hamstring, as for Smith he might have been one of our best players but he drifts in and out of the game far too much, Smiths problem is that he is 2 steps ahead of the other losers in the team.

btw thats twice now a poor hull team as beat you at the kc two seasons running

i think your sig should sums you up perfect, just exchange saints to your name

Where there many rumours pre season? Beyond those on here not liking Noble?

We need to give him 10-15 games. It is madness to judge a coach 3 games into a season.

People are starting to judge him on far more than 15 games. They are starting to judge him on 2007, 2008 and the games we play this season. The fact we have played only two so far is not seen as relevant to the bigger picture of how the team plays under him which by and large is poorly.

Yes, there seems to be no improvement from last, but I fail to see who we can appoint after 3 games who is available who would change anything, given we don't have a stand off and are a centre short of being anything like.

Wakefield were short of a lot of first team regulars so I don't think is any excuse and part of the problem is how Noble is dealing with the half backs. It seem obvious to me now that it should be Smith at 7, Tomkins at 6 and TL as a 9.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work but he would have far more support from the fans if he did that than picked the team as he has done so far. He is part of the problem.

Didn't Riddell play prop at Paramatta towards the end of last year because tbh I woudl have TL & McIllorum at 9, I wouldn't have Riddell anywhere near that poistion until he got proper fit. In fact I think aussie who only join the pre season training in Jan want a good flogging.

I agree, but that is the key word "Part". If he doesn't change things around and get Prescott/Tomkins and such involved and show the bottle to bin Phelps/Coley etc then yes, questions re his future should be asked, but this season with this squad, requires more time imo.
