Noble can stay for me, can't think who'd come here who would be better.
If IL can persuade Phil Gould as coach with say Matty Johns as his asst then OK I'd go with that any day.
Gould BTW has said he'd like to go back into club coaching.
If Noble goes than whoever replaces him has to be proven to be better, otherwise it's pointless replacing him.

Has Matty Johns had some personal issues of late?

Would be great to get Phil G involved at Wigan but would he come to England to coach or was he dropping a major hint to anyone in the NRL who'll take him?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but I've just been reading th Daily Express or Daily Mail in't butty shop and it says a deal to bring North Queensland Cowboys prop Carl Webb to Wigan now hinges on how he gets on with a drunk & disorderly charge.

I thought it was a drink drive charge he was up on, nearly certain in fact. Sometimes think that the newspapers just put 2+2 together using poor research and rumour and come up with 5.

He is but was being made available to free up cap space so they could re-sign Tronc and a couple of others. I think that given the fact Tronc has signed for Wakefield NQ will not now be as willing to see him go, which is why i guess this is just lazy journalism and echo's of rumours that were floating round here a few months back.

Would not mind seeing him in a Wigan shirt but in my opinion it seems unlikely, could well be wrong though.

I would love Gould to come to Wigan but his stating he would consider a return to club rugby a message, put out in public, which will put the Roosters management under pressure.
As if the're not under enough already.

I would seriously doubt Gould is referring to English club rugby given his views on the game over here.
