Or Leneghan hasnt decided how to announce he is staying for 2010.

I think one of one should decide pretty soon

I'm beginning to wonder if the only reason Wigan haven't announced anything yet is because Noble hasn't made his mind up where he's going.

Surely not Wigan's worry?
As long as we have made alternative arrangements.

I agree. If he is in such a position of power at the negotiating table over IFL we really are in trouble.

I do not think this is the case though, i am optimistic BN has known his future lies elsewhere for some time.

It may just be that they don't want to publicly tell the guy he isn't wanted before this campaign has finished. It's no skin of Wigan's nose if they've already got something sorted, and it would spare Noble a bit of embarrassment.

Of course, they won't be able to wait forever for him to announce that he's going somewhere else.

On the other hand, if Noble was staying for another year, I see nothing to be gained whatosever by withholding it.

I think this just about sum's it all up...

Quite surprised at this from what i was told it he was all but signed a couple of months ago for Wigan, his inclusion in the semi team though perhaps was an indication relationships had been improved upon.

Would have liked him with us in 2010 think he could have given us so much needed consistent go forward.

I am now really concerned that we have missed out on another target and starting to think we really will not be making any additions to the frontrow, really hope i am wrong on this.

The way he was celebrating at FT in the semi had me hopeful he'd signed a new deal. He started poorly this season, had a fall out with Browny and got dropped for 'disciplinary reasons' for two weeks but since then has improved consistently. I'm glad we've kept him as it looks like Jacko is off to Cas and we don't want wholesale changes to our pack. We could use one more top prop to replace Jacko though. Seems Korky will be off to Wakey and I don't think Scully is the answer.

The way its going we may be in a bidding war for Scully with you as the options in the frontrow market seem to be very limited now to say the least.
