Lay off Noble! : Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:41 am  

Lets face facts here! Brian Noble has an outstanding coaching record and to be wanting the man out is bloody stupid. 2006 he saved from relegation and in 2007/2008 had you within 80 minutes of the Grand Final. Ok you have had 3 defeats but its not like you have been hammered is it??? Sacking a coach for heavy defeats and p**s poor performances is warranted but sacking Noble for 3 defeats which hasnt been more than 6 points in each or 8 at the most is pathetic.

I agree actually. I'm not seeing a lack of effort and dis-interest from the players and in truth had we had Pat out there tonight we'd have won. Sure he wouldn't have missed 4 conversions - that's what cost us.

Its not just the 3 losses.

Its the boring rugby, poor recruitment, leaving young players out, same shít different week basically, we all know whats going to happen all the opposition coach has to do is tell his team to defend 5 drives up the field then a shít kick straight to the winger and they will have the game in the bag. Noble hasnt done bad at wigan, he's took us from relegation to semi's but thats as far as he can take us for me. Its time for a change...

Letting them score 28 points is what cost us. Nothing else.

Disagree. Had we kicked a couple of the conversions from the second half tries we'd have been leading in the final 10 mins and would have probably have got the late clinching try ourselves. Not having a go at the kickers - they were tough kicks but shows how much Pat was missed. 28 points is not good either but I don't mind conceding 28 points if we score 29!
