Grow up. Very assured performance from Wigan, your youngsters leading the way, Riddell and Smith need to go, put your faith in the youngsters.

Gutsy performance, well done boys.

Good win but where still though.

i'd be sticking with Sam & Lulu as halfbacks and bring in 2 big house props and an athletic 2nd rower, send fat pig on his way and re-sign Phelps use ainscough from the bench and replace bailey with Mossop.

lol 15 including there fans cause thats who he was listening to

Was Carmont was ready to come off, Phelps to centre and Tomkins to fullback? When Smith got injured they left Carmont out there....

Maybe your dig at Noble is a little premature?

Win, lose or draw there will be some grumbling from the usual suspects.

Get in!!!!!

That is what I am thinking.

Jeez, Morgan drones on doesn't he.

Suggest a better option given the circumstance that would have lead to that move?



He went on about our penalties not helping. We only had 3. That frog hammered us in the second half

The Nobby doubters have gone a bit quiet again.


Perhaps they are thinking of ways in which he was "out coached" by Justin Morgan?

He is, but Fox is faster. Particularly when Fox isn't carrying a ball.

????!?!?!

Dont get carried away.....Quins will knock us back down to earth next week.

Noble is not the man for the job!

and quite rightly so...

Please! Fair credit to the boys, they performed extremely well, but one win does not a contract extension justify...

The Nobby Doubters.....

Me thinks you have been hangin with Hock a little too much..

The team had poor discipline and ball handling again today with Nobbys sprog aka White Flag Fielden being responsible for around half of Wigan's Penaltys or handling errors.

You and people with your attitude have contributed to Wigans downfall.

bless.

I don't half feel like a d*ck now

You go and join the "stupid idiot category". I did feel the same in truth but didn't stop watching!

It was always going to happen. One win and suddenly BN and the Wigan team are world beaters.

We won, fair enough hat's off to the lads. But it doesn't mean that the wrongs are rights.

I don't know about that. Cast your eyes on a few threads and he is criticised for his substitutions.

In any case with Noble the damage is done already. I also don't like the way he ignores form when picking players so as far as I am concerned we would win the lot from now on and I'd still like to see a new coach here for 2010.

Really pleased we won a close game tonight but that won't change my opinion of Noble as that has been formed by his entire record here over the last 3 years.

Exactly.....and who would bet against a harlequins win at the JJB next week? I certainly wouldnt be surprised.

You mean saving us from relegation and getting us to within 80 mins of the GF?


I am not suggesting I agree with all Nobby's decisions, far from it. However, I think the criticism he faces on these boards is well OTT.

As for other coaches being bandied around, Justin Morgan was hailed by some on here as a tactical genius. I saw no evidence of that on todays evidence.

Again, not criticising Morgan as I agree he is a good coach, however, to hail him as a genius and Nobby as hopeless is completely wrong.


The real answer is that they are both good coaches.


I will re-iterate again though that Nobby has to play to the conditions of the competition. This means peaking in September/October. He hasn't done a bad job of doing that in his coaching career.

Even if we had won the GF, it wouldn't make us a great team.

? So you would rather win 95% of your games and not win the competition, than win say 65% of your games and win the competition.

Just for the sake of argument?
