Bye bye Noble your time is up

He should stay. He's doing a great job.
Spoiled it slightly by getting a couple of wins though...

It looks like there is a split decision over this, but like i said right at the begining of this thread its his style of rugby that really gets to me. The game of rugby as moved on a lot since he was having all the success with Bratfud, the big man picking the ball up at first reciever and running it in as hard and fast as he can have gone, a more faster and expansive passing game is what we have now and we simply dont seemed to have adapted as well as other teams, the likes of wakefield, huddersfield and hull all play a more exciting game than we seem capable of at the moment, as much as i hate to say this but i would rather pay my addmission fee to watch the more entertaining off the cuff rugby that St Helens play every week. To be honest in the 25 years of watching Wigan the current rugby im going to watch every week is the most boring i`ve witnessed and surely this is down to the tactics being taught them on the training ground. Time for a change is what our overall game is in need of before we get left even further behind the rest of the teams.

Like I have previously stated I dont think IL will sack Noble, but if we should lose on sunday I dont think he(IL) will any other option to do so. The fans will demand it.
PS: I think we will put 50 on Barrow on the weekend

I'm happy you find them amusing
As a Saints fan It's good to see Wigan struggle.
As a fan of Rugby League fan I am sorry to see Wigan in the state they are in at present.
Wigan are far to good a team, on paper, to be in the position they are in and the fans deserve to be rewarded for their loyalty.
Perhaps a change of coach is needed if only to bring new ideas to the club. Wigan do not seem to have gelled as a team in the past few seasons IMO which is unfortunate for Rugby League.


Now having said something 'nice' about Wigan, I'm going to take my tablets and go for a lie down

Not the impression I have got when speaking to him, if anything quite the opposite.

A horrendous statement.

Whether you back Noble or not and I still do by the way, no one can question his effort and commitment.
