I certainly hope so mate!! When i heard rumours last week saying he was on the verge of a new contract i felt sick.
Noble and his tactics, and the lack of a Midfield general is the only two things holding wigan back from being a championship winning side IMO.
Look at last nights game and last week where we dominated large parts of the game in terms of possession and teritory, look at the stats that show us top of the league in terms of metres made, and that for me shows you what we're lacking.
We're doing all the basics right, but we haven't got the ability to break teams down in the final quarter as a team as opposed to a bit of individual brilliance....even last nights try had to come off a kick after what must have been 30 tackles on the wire line. The only way we EVER make breaks is by brut force by feka, an offload from hock, or a bit of a jinking run from Leuleui or Tompkins. All teams need to do is mark those players out the game and we lose as we can't play as a team, simple as!!
We need another barrett/ a lockyer or an orford and a new coach. Despite our awful season and where we are in the league I could seriously see us winning SL next season if Leneghan can sort these issues out. Lets just hope he comes back from Aus with either Lam or Raper as Coach and Orford or Lockyer for 2010!
