Not my first choice, but not terrible either if it happens. Get it sorted and let's see what happens when we get the ball rolling.

How could you be disappointed with the appointment of Noble? I certainly won't be, a little underwhelmed but certainly not disappointed.

Didn't the MEN recently report that Dr Koukash was to fly to Australia to interview ?
It would be surprising if the first reported meeting with a potential new head coach resulted in the job being given immediately without anyone else being seen.
I await being surprised,again.

I wouldn't be disappointed just underwhelmed slightly, like yourself.

I read somewhere that Brian Smith was coaching rugby union in some capacity. I wonder if he is contracted to the club he's working for?

Personally I would like to see a coaching team that has a combination of vast Superleague experiance (like Noble) and a technical overseas coach with a modern approach and knowledge of the latest training techniques and tactics from the NRL.

If you appoint Noble you will make the 8 and reach some semi finals. The Rugby on show will not be that amazing either.

That'll do for now!

Appreciate the name is a common one but it’s a bit of a coincidence don’t you think?

Good work Sherlock. The timing is right too - 2 games in 4 days - interesting as presumably 1st class seats as well.

Well if true and its a joint situation then what a message it sends around the world. ' Life of Brian II.'

Very interesting can you do it direct with no change Sydney to Manchester?

It's been a long time since I travelled to Oz, but when I went Qantas it was direct but from Heathrow, not Manchester. Things obviously will have changed so quite possibly.

Qantas QF2 - LHR-SIN-SYD

Yep, I'm afraid so. If Mr Smith is travelling from Sydney to Manchester then he'd find QF1 much more useful (SYD-SIN-LHR).

Bl00dy Photoshop!!

doubt he is there are no flights out of sydney to manchester tomorrow

Shame because I understand they were intending to spend some of the Myler money on those flights !

Sydney Morning Herald writer, Brad Walters, saying on Twitter that he's heard from 'someone with connections to the club' that Noble will be the new coach.

The national grid?
