Without wanting to be accused of being the Minister of Forum Corrections again you said "you simply can't call either of them second rate coaches" which I took to mean you didn't think either were second rate coaches.

Noble's record is clearly first rate, whether he is still a first rate coach is a different question. I've not changed my opinion of him since he's been sacked - I thought he was the right man to help rebuild the club from the ground up as that is exactly what we needed (and still need) but like everyone else I had doubts about whether he was truly passed it or not at the very highest level. I'm happy to discount last season because of the state of the squad but this year the performances have been average at best. I would have given him until the end of the season at least to see what he can do with the squad he has assembled and because we need stability as a club.

However, as the decision had been taken to replace him, the important thing was that we replaced him with as good a coach as we could get. I don't think anyone really believes Harris is the best. The main thing in his favour appears to be having worked at Wigan for a couple of years, the main negative is his record as a head coach at Crusaders and Wales, admittedly with limited squads.

Noble seemed to say on the SL Show that Harris was lined up to become his assistant and then somehow things changed and he became his replacement. The most intriguing thing in all this is who advised Koukash that Harris was suitable head coach material.

It’s obvious from those “in the know” that senior players were critical of Noble’s methods and tactics. Marwan had let the man loose with his cheque book, we had come off the back of one of the best results in our recent history why else would a man with limited knowledge of RL sack the head coach? It was because he was left with no option. The players have now got a modern coach, who has spent the last few years winning trophies with a Wigan team that played an expansive and exciting game.

No excuses from here on in.

Dead right regarding players going to MK.
Somebody states it on here,as a fact,and then it's taken as gospel.
What is the source of this and how reliable is it ?
Noble hasn't got where he is today,or at least where he was last week,by being undermined by players

The same source that posted Noble had lost the dressing room and would be replaced a week before it actually happened. If you are interested to know which players PM me and I will tell you who they were.

Let us look forwards not backwards! We cannot change what has happened and all this "Who did what and to who" is becoming tiresome. From Twitter today Noble is talking to the Doctor which is a good thing. We must get behind both the team, who should be on a high after the cup result, AND the new coach. Do we want him thinking he has made the wrong choice? No! We want him to think positively, work hard and take the Club forward.

Sorry,Beck, but I hate the idea of people going behind their boss's back.
I agree we must look forward and support the team.
This remains a forum to establish what's going on behind the scenes.
