The same source who told us all Noble had lost the dressing room and was to be sacked a week before it happened.

Isn't it Ratchford's brother or something? I seem to remember him being prominent on here when Ratchford played for us.

Sure it wasn't his brother's friend's next door neighbours cousin who lives in Sydney ?

Bonita the only other explanation is if the players have been asked in the company of the owner directly and they have answered honestly. Perhaps to say 'going behind Noble's back' was harsh and they were put on the spot and forced or encouraged to go behind Noble's back?

Nope. As pointed out by JGR it was by the same person who correctly said Noble had lost the dressing room and was about to be sacked a week before it happened.

There were also reports of Smith and Meli flouncing out of training after a bust up with Noble earlier this season.

I find it irritating when things go wrong and suddenly the "coach has lost the dressing room" and I don't believe Noble should have been sacked because of it but it does look as if there was some unrest from some players and this contributed to his downfall.

As for Morley - I'm not sure he's on Twitter and I've not seen this comment about him being shocked. If he has said it - what were the alternative? Answer the question about Noble being sacked (bearing in mind he may be staying on the club payroll) by saying "yep not surprised he's gone - the lads couldn't stand him"
