Can they afford to sack him? He must be on a fair wedge.

And who would they go after to replace him? Hanley? Cullen



And would he take stuart with hm again??

Depends if there is unrest at the club, bit hard to call without seeing them play. But he'll certainly be under pressure, if he still has the support of the players then he should be given more than 3 games to turn things around.

me and you would give him more than 3 games, but the wigan board have been known to be a bit sharp with these things in the past.

I think he'll be ok... at least for another week.

Who they playing next week?

Quins away I think

-edit- yes its quins away then we visit the JJB for a reunion with our old boss, could be interesting timing that one if they struggle again next week.

Also well done to cas, cracking result for them.

Knowing how fickle the Wigan fans and board have been in recent history, I'll be amazed if Noble is still in charge there by this time next week.

Away to Quins next. The good news for Nobby though is that he faces Bradford in a fortnight. McNamara will keep him in a job.

Noble's doing what he did here during his final years with Wigan.

The kids are gone, you'd note Colbon had a decent game for Wigan tonight, as did Briscoe, but I believe Noble carted both those out of the door at Wigan (actually, Briscoe may have been a bit previous to Noble's tenure, but there are other young players).

Noble got rid of a countless amount of academy players at Bradford and we saw the likes of Bai, McKenna and St.Hilaire, and this is something to do with where we are now.

I think Lenagan will have lost patience by now, they'll have demandeed a win tonight.

Lenagan has just come out and offered Noble a vote of confidence...

That's it then. He a deffo gonner next weekend

the dreaded vote of confidence, prelude to the end of a few of my championship manager careers

Strange seeing as he was playing for Hull KR.

Briscoe went from Wigan during Stuart Rapers days.

Hull KR even! I'm sure even you RER, the messiah of youth development

, would agree with me, his youth policy is pretty poor.

Sam Tomkins, 5 tries in the CC last year in one game, hasn't played since.

Against Whitehaven.I also don't think his youth policy was as people make out.

What do you mean by that?

As in perhaps, the crop of players during the early 2000's were developed during the Elliot years and made good for Noble to come in and work with? And then, Noble just got rid of them and bought over-the-hill players?

k.Pryce, Burgess, Halley, Kopczak, Langley, Ferres, James all developed by Noble.

One international class, one Super League class and the rest are very average.

The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days.

Langley & Burgess are international class, the rest are mostly SL class and still young.

I think he'll get another match or so depending on the margin of win/loss and the performance. Congrats to Cas anyway.

What's funniest is for me, two things, all the money he has spent and then he got rid of higham for a fat, unfit and injured pig

- Higham totally proved noble wrong, i just hope they keep losing and they play us, lose, then sack noble - That would be justice big time

The Bradford game will be the clincher for me.

By then the inevitable questions about his apprentice may have resurfaced.

That match could have massive bearings on the season for both clubs.

Give over he's failed to live up to his potential of 3 yrs ago and is just average at best.

oh come on, that's an easy 2 pts for wigan
