Think you've as much chance seeing Wayne Benett at Headingley

Dont like his style of Rugby either, it's horrible to watch.

Massive load of tosh. I toook a great big dump this morning but this thread is even bigger.

Nobles' philosophies of the game are the opposite to what the make up Leeds are. He would be a step backwards. He would do well at a team like Hull

I've seen Wayne Bennett at Headingley so it appears it's a 100% chance of Noble being Leeds coach.

God I hate noble!! What a w#nker!!

I off course meant as Leeds Coach.

Yes, we will knock his teeth out and put seats in!

FFS, when does made up crap become a rumour?

I've heard a rumour that Leeds are signing Greg Inglis, but I just made that up.

I had a sex wee until i read that bit in bold!!

Daft rumour.

I don't know why Leeds would be interested for arguments sake.

Every one harps on about what he did at Bradford, fair enough.

But what about his tenure at Wigan? He hasn't brought home the bacon.

The same can be said for his time at GB and not playing Sinfield!!!

When Dave Whelan took Noble to Wigan he said that he and Noble would be out if silverwear was not returned to the JJB by the end of 2009.

Whelan saw the writing on the wall and made good on his promise.

If there is any doubt about the natural father of Michael Jackson's eldest, Noble should head the list to be eliminated by DNA.

For me it's an absolute no. Don't like the style any of his teams play/ have played, and he hates Leeds.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nobby continues to assist the Bradford slump by removing McBananna at the end of the season.

With a bit of luck, he might have persuaded the Bradford board to pay him something more like what he was earning at Wigan, compared to what he was on the last time he was in the coaching chair at Odslum.

all good fun these threads

Nobby gave a very interesting interview last year after the Wigan leeds playoff game. He obviously knew exactly the problems at Wigan and what was needed recruitment wise to sort them out. From what happened in their off season you might imagine he was less than satisfied. However, the recruitment of Gleeson and the strong showing of a few of their youngsters (even though the team itself is still pants overall), makes me think he might just want to stick around there another few years if asked. The one concern Wigan have is their pack, which is well below ordinary and not particularly flush with youth. They have some good backs but little in the pack to crow about, but if they can put together a competitive set of forwards in the nest few years then they should be top 4 again.
I can't see Noble at Leeds, Peter Fox buried the chances of any ex-Bradford coach with a one dimensional coaching style (however effective) ending up at Headingley. If Sinfield does move to Warrington (

) it won't be to avoid a coach who left him out of key international games now will it.

You know when someone blatanty speeks bul. Doesn't it click with you?

Right. Wait a minute. Just wait. I'm stopping myself. I don't need to do this? I'm not. I'm not saying anymore.

SEEUBYE.

Explain yourself

People are being ruddy harsh on Peter Fox. The Leeds team he coached went within a whisker of Wembley in a hugely entertaining game vs KR (24-all anyone?). The following year Leeds' recuitment bar ET and McGaw for a short period was absolutely hopeless - Peter Smith? Bob Morris? Andrew Staniland? A knackered Trevor Skerrett? Vs the loss of Tony Currie and Cliff Lyons? ET was great to watch but in terms of overall influence I'd take Lyons and TC any day over ET and McGaw. Compare and contrast to the splurge that started the minute Bamford walked back which continued into 87-88.

IMO he suffered more from the seemingly perennial problem of Leeds' Board failing to back up a degree of success - something David Ward would probably agree with.

FWIW Noble is a professional coach - the chances that he'd let issues with Leeds stop him from trying to get a job there if there was a vacancy are laughable. And he was entirely correct not to pick Sinfield for GB IMO. Having said that he'll never coach Leeds and once his tenure at Wigan ends he'll be on a general downward spiral in terms of clubs he works with.

As far as Noble at Wigan goes, if he hasn't been responsible for their signings then he made a dumb move in the first place. If he is then his judgement is dreadful.

how could noble coach leeds when he gears preperation around peaking for games against leeds?


we'd be peaking for a game we'd never play

mind=blown

He's certainly an expert at getting teams to finish top

saints are very grateful

And still an issue that exists today despite there not being a board member in common..... probably.



So he is on his way back to Odsal then?

what have I done to offend you
