Who praised him for it?

You suggest that the gameplan is simple and easy to follow as though it is a slur on the players for making mistakes.

The fact that the game plan is so simple ensures in my opinion that the players are more open to make errors.

Although i agree with most of what you say i dont agree with the Feka bit. Whilst he cant play long spells he is very very effective and has won us many games when hes come on the field.

As for Noble i agree,it amazes me how there are so many people on here who think they know better than him. Nobodys saying hes perfect or never makes mistakes but he can do no right with most of the Wigan fans. You summed it up when you said players who think they run the club. Ive said it all along we cannot keep sacking coaches just because the players are dummy spitters. Its time they accepted that Noble is the coach and did what he tells them to.

I agree totally.


I am really going to enjoy posting this link in October, so some can see the utter tripe that they have posted on this matter.


"Let's sack a coach who has the best record in SL, who has saved Wigan from relegation and taken them to 3rd place two years on the trot And let's replace him with ..........er... Exactly".

This year the competition is even less about the regular rounds and totally about how you play in Sept/Oct.

I disagree with the format, but you play the hand that you are dealt.

Exactly what do you expect us to have achieved by October?

A good coach should be able to improve a player on an individual basis as well as a team basis . Something I've not seen in two years at wigan. same old same old. WE NEED CHANGE.

I think we will be in a Grand Final.

Will you get off your Anti-Nobby hobby horse if we are?

No it's not. The worse you do in the weekly rounds the harder it is to win the thing. No one has ever won the comp from outside of third and it's no coincidence.

I want to see the team play well week in week out and then go to the playoffs in a good position to win the thing. This hasn’t happened in three years with Noble at the helm please tell me why this year is going to be any different? It’s no coincidence the teams that have played well all season go on to contest the GF.

IMO it’s about potentialy sacking Noble the coach who hasn't taken us forward after he saved us from relegation, the coach who hasn't put together a win streak or consistency, the coach who picks the wrong team or the coach who plays a style of rugby that meant we had more points scored against us that we scored ourselves last season.

We have a good squad and Noble isn’t getting the best out of it. I can’t see how anyone can say he is.

I really can’t see what Noble has going for him in his time at Wigan apart from saving us from relegation. The two semi final appearances seem to have made some fans think we had a good season. Do you not remember the Hudds game, Hull KR away, Saints at MM, the capitulation at Wakey in previous seasons or our inability to win at Warrington all regular times when we just didn’t have a clue? Sadly it looks like more of the same from where I’m sitting this season also and I’m absolutely fed up with it.

I think you will find that the team who comes 4th plays the team that comes 1st in the initial Qualifier.

That's 1st v 4th not 1st v 2nd as in 2008.


The winner STILL has to play in the elimination SF.

I say again, this year the regular rounds are much less important than they have been in the past.

That may well be true and that’s the comp we are in but I’m sorry;

It’s not an excuse for performances like we've been having under him,
It’s not an excuse for a negative point’s diff,
It’s not an excuse for not putting together a winning streak together
It’s not an excuse for not playing a style of rugby that’s half entertaining
It’s not an excuse for players not developing under him

Say all you want like Noble does about the comp being won in October I want to see good rugby week in week out, I want to see marked improvements week in week out, I want to feel we have a chance at beating Saints in the weekly. I want be top of the league during the regular season.

I would just like to be able to leave after a game with pride win,lose or draw instead of not knowing how long i can put up with this gloom .
