I have stayed quiet about the Noble out protest for a good while, and have been quite disheartened watching the team slowly slide downwards, not only in the table but in pride passion and playin stlye.
Yes nobby may have saved us from relegation, but thank goodness there isn't any this season or we would be one of the clubs most likely to go that way.
Nobby has to go he's been given more than a fair chance and I for one would like to see a change, as to whom i'm not sure.
I feel the team could do a better job themselves than what is being done already.
Someone please get Faz to come and shout at them, he worked wonders at captain let him put them right again.
How can we play like we did at Quins, against Bradford and Thursday against the smellies and then turn out utter drivel the rest of the time. Yes we had a tough game thursday. So have all the other teams that have played yet they have bothered to play and not just given it little effort.
I'm not saying all the players have given no effort but there are certain ones whom need a stick of dynomite up their shorts to make them run.
Rant over

I blame the salary cap

We were gash at Quins as well. At the moment BN owes his career at Wigan to Chad Randell.

Noble speaks nobody in the dressing room listens, FACT. Time to go when this happens.

This was said to me to me by an respected ex player after that game .

The 'Noble Out' theme has gone on for far too long and got far too much momentum now, surely someone at the club can see this and do something about it?

I'd rather we paid up Nobby his salary for the rest of the year and gave Wane the hotseat. Maybe IL has someone already lined up for 2010. FFS he can't re-sign Nobby

Saved by the player he wanted before Riddell

Jesus Christ tonight, take your blinkers off.

It#'s not like we 'just' lost to Catalans. We lost to a poor side, following - Saints excepted - poor performances against other poor sides.

No we lost to a side that had won there last 2 games and gaining some form and were at home.

I thought we lost the plot after the High dive on Richards that was not picked up

Rugby League is a game defined by its physical contact. There was nothing wrong with that hit at all. He was in the air prior to Pat taking the ball.

Its a shame Brian had to show such a distinct lack of class during the game to take it up with the ref at half time.

So thats what you teach is it? his arm was under Richards neck with the full wight of his body behind him now thats a high shot in my books try looking at it again. Had it been the other way round the lad would have found himself with at least a yellow and knowing our luck a red.

Probably the silliest post you have ever made Jonh. Watch the replay.

Watched it a few times. I would have been very dissapointed had one of our players come up with this play and been penalised for it.

Really? Where? Give em a bl00dy game then!!

Agreed. Looked bad at first but he went up for the ball and didn't get it so went for the player who did. Your not allowed to tackle someone who's in the air but that was more the other way round. It was unusual, but not a penalty offence.

So it wasn't a head high tackle then?

I would say it was 2 players comitted to the play, which should be applauded not penalised.

Phelps on Wellens on Thursday with the last play of the game was just as bad if not filled with more intent on Phelps part, did not see many complaints in here.

So you don't think it was a head high tackle?


Yes or no will do.

Clearly not, no.

For someone who claims to be such an intellect i thought you would have worked that one out.


Are youn still looking forward to reviving all the posts about how poor us mortals think Noble is at the end of the season?

Yes or no will do.

I've always stuck up for Noble but now i think it's time for him to move on. He has done a terrific job here, keeping us in the Super League and almost getting us to the Grand Final etc. But i think we have to get rid for us to develop as a team and a club. IMO our defence has been poor everytime we have taken the field since Millward took over, with the odd exception of course (Leeds in the CC etc), and we need to add another dimension to our attacking play. Im sick of Wigan being the only team in SL to have no runners trying to confuse the opposition.

Well......thats my two cents anyway

I don't claim to have anything. It's only you who keeps banging on about me being "such an intellect" (whatever that means). Indeed now it appears you think I am some kind of Deity..........

I personally don't think BN will be here by the end of the season, but if he is I still think we will perform well in the playoffs.


This result hurt us a lot more than the Stains one though.

I chuffing love you Taylor.

He's spot on.

I would never join a campaign for a man who has put so much effort in to lose his job, even if it is the right thing for the club.

Noble's commitment to the cause cannot be questioned. I respect him for that and have a level of sympathy for the bloke.

No it is due to your lack of ability to debate yet try to degrade posters validity who do not follow your view by picking up on there spelling, or taking the moral high ground on education etc etc etc. Your track record speaks for itself.

If you are going to post on an internet forum, at least do people the courtesy of checking your spelling/grammar, especially when you are trying to put the other person down (as is your wont).

As for my "lack of ability to debate" - it's hard to debate with someone when you have to first attempt to translate their words into English before you can understand them.


Btw you have made another grammatical error in your personal attack above
