Noble doesnt need to prove his career. He already has at Bradford by winning the lot. Tonight he blew the theory that 'he can only coach boring rugby' out of the water. At the same time he blew the theory that 'he will not give youth a chance' out of the water.



Go on admit it you were wrong,it wont hurt!

Well done lads, was hoping for an even match as a neutral but you mullered bratfud and they didnt even turn up

They did play like wasters for the first few games. I pointed out time and time again there is no way Brian Noble can be blamed for simple errors and the inability to complete a simple tackle yet the majority were praying Noble would be sacked as though it was his fault.



Back to my original point though. Jonh has rambled on for years with huge posts claiming he could do a better job than Noble when tonight has proven that Noble can coach the game which ever way you like it and he is not one dimensional at all.

RJH are you really that sad that you have to take a great performance like tonight and use it to have a pop at posters who do not agree with you.



I have to credit Noble tonight and am happy to do so the team played to the levels it should tonight and the tactics are starting to change. I hope this continues. Lets not forget 1 swallow does not make a Spring we have seen this before yet not kicked on, this is the key.



Tonight was a very anti Noble style peformance and hopefully it is a sign he is evolving as a coach, he had to change his style and mentality and he has, his failure to do this is my biggest gripe with him, lets hope we get more performances like that so you can post petty threads like this.





As a aditional point it is interesting that the tactics myself and Dave and other "bandwagon" jumpers have called for, for the last 2 years tonight brought success in such emphatic style to the performance and victory, maybe Brian has been on here taking note

Cries of "Noble Out" a couple of weeks ago, then a chant tonight:



"BRIAN NOBLE'S BARMY ARMY!"

LOL,so when the team are playing poor its Nobles fault. When they play well its nothing to do with Noble,its down to the players? By your theory as long as you have good support and a solid halfback pairing you dont need a coach? Pull the other one!



One game doesnt make a coaches career no so its a good job Noble has already proven himself at the Bulls. Now all he has to do is get the team to perform consistantly which i have no doubts he will do.

Or the team followed the gameplan and respected the ball?!







Utter tosh and you know it. Its only anti Noble if your view that he is boring is followed.







Behave yourself

Did I say that? No. I'm saying that tonight we had a decent halfback pairing and excellent support of the runner. Quit with reading what's not there, it makes you look silly.



Yes we need a coach, I just don't think Noble's the one. If he gets the team to play like this for the remainder of the season and breeds some consistency into the side then I will owe him an apology. Until then I question if he's the man for us.

Well everyone is entitled to there opinion i for one am made up by the performance tonight, and as i said it bodes well for the future, it will take more than one performance in 4 for me to be pleased but the signs are there.



If that was not an anti Noble style performance what has 90 % of the last 3 years performances been?



I was obviously being tongue in cheek with the last point but can you say that most of the critics of him have not been calling for a more expansive style, which we got tonight, an end to the stupid move forward 3 steps and hold in defence, which we generally saw tonight and the likes of Tomkins and Ainscough to be given a chance.

Are you sure about that? Thought you would have wanted us to lose again

Well it helps having a hooker that knows what he is doing in relation to controlling the attack and a pack that can actually recieve passes they can run on to.







TBH in defence, we were still moving up and holding, but the clamping of the ball was much better.



As for Tomkins, picked on merit, another thing people can no longer bag Nobby for.

Just hope this trend continues! WD Sam and Shaun for taking your chances
