is 3years not long enougth?

why was none of this noble rubbish spoke last week when we beat salford.i know why because all wigan fans are fickle and think its an easy fix to sack the coach, just wait till the end of the seadon again when you start turning out in your hundreds, because you may think me might get to a grand final

Why do you not know...??

i think noble may have taken us as far as he can and can't really see us challenging this year or next if hes in charge. however he is a good coach. who could we realistically replace him with that is better. id love the whole edwards /farrell thing but it just isn't going to happen. i personally think justin morgan is one of the best in sl but lenaghan would have to pay a club some serious dollar to prise away a top coach

Why talk of the Saints and Cats matches when we play Barrow next?

I think Barrow will worry us. If they beat us imagine then facing Saints?

If the unrest in the camp is true what better way of getting Noble out than losing to Barrow?

We are only 8 games into a new season and hopes of a grand final place have gone, so the challenge cup is probably our only realistic chance of a trophy this season. If they blow that at Barrow it does'nt bare thinking about.

Even then i'm stretching the word realistic to it's limits

I dont think there is a hope in hell of winning the challenge cup with this current set up. Losing to Barrow could be a blessing in disguise.

You could be right but if you look over the past three seasons, Hudds, Cats and Hull all made it to the final with very average squads not playing well in SL.

I know they all lost but it just goes to show it's the luck of the draw and a trip to Wembley would go down well ............ even if we did get beat. Althought you never know with a one off game.

Ever the optimist



Things must be bad i'm not depressed at all this morning.

There aint no bigger fan of Wigan than Mr Lenaghan and thats whats baffling as to why there isnt any drastic action being taken.

Weve been tactically woeful in every match bar the Bradford game, lets not kid ourselves here, the rugby's pi$$ boring, i was actually bored at the game last night for the first time ever...

Somehow though, im struggling to comprehend Mr Noble getting sacked, it seems it just aint gonna happen

That is not acceptable and looks very likely to happen

IL doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong though and Noble's job looks pretty much safe and I have that little confidence in him that I think Noble will get a contract extension as long as we make the 8

Get Noble out now, He obviously has no idea what to do with this team, or how to manage in the new super league. Come on comments like he thinks hudds should be investigated because they dont let teams get an roll on and play rugby just shows how stupid he really is. any manager should have watched tapes and seen hudds tactics and planned for them. Last night we looked like an amature slow, unfit side, there was no flow, no passing, no movement, no passion. We are playing for penalties, that for 1 winds me well up, we are playing like a bunch of footballers.
right rant over.................. for now

I'll repeat what I said on another thread.

We DO NOT look like a well-coached team. Look how Saints attack opposition defences - use of the Dummer runner is superb - we are a long, long way away from how the top 2 play.

We haven't progressed at all under Noble - the way we are playing, we wil be lucky to get into the top 8.

We have a decent enough squad of players - but are poorly coached. If Mick Potter, McLennan or Nathan Brown were coaching us - would we be a better side?? Of course we would.

Lenagan needs to get rid now - with the hope of salvaging the season - he needs a top Aussie coach - and pay for him. We are the most famous club in the world and should not accept mediocrity.

However, I have no faith in IL - I am off to the bookies later to see what the odds are of Brian McDermott becoming the next Wigan coach. Lenagan knows him from Quins after all.

Enough is Enough with Nobby. Great bloke, but it isn't working.

The real question those wanting Noble out should be asking themselves is, off current form, why does anyone think IL will shell out the £££ for a top quality coach.

He will appoint a #2 from elsewhere who in real terms, won't do much at all except have his players picked for him.

IL will not sack Noble he wont pay up. i'm afraid were stuck with these performences,lack of spirit and togetherness shown by the players untill his contracts up

But please dont start thinking of the Murreys and ricky Stewarts of this world



It will be a in house appointment.In other words the cheapest option.

I think your right ..it might be the person who prepared the team for the bradford game

We'd turn into the new Wire and the way they were reluctant to sack Cullen.

Wane ?

Too simplistic to sack Nobby, for a start, at this stage of the season, which top coach would we get in?
Secondly, after the Bradford game, many on here were saying we have turned a corner and are suddenly a great team. Truely, we are only as good as our last game!
For me, the problem is the quality of the players in the squad, nothing less. No new coach could turn this around instantly.
There are no easy answers or solutions here.

I never said that

And why did Noble not prepare them?

I have no idea.

But you believe Wayne did?

Yes...and before someone asks how I know..I'm not saying..believe it or not it's up to you..makes no diference to me.
