They are evens for the wooden spoon next year.
To me this seems like a brilliant bet!They struggled last year and finished 8 points adrift of salford,and then they lost their nucleus of their squad,i know they will bring in some players but so will the other teams around them.
I dont know if im underestimating what Brain Noble can do,but to me it looks a great bet and im looking at investing some serious cash into it!

I dont think I'll be putting any money on Celtic until al their signings are announced to be honest.

Who have they actually signed so far? If anyone?

Only that winger Matt Utai that I'm aware of.

The odds will probably change depending on signings but they will have to sign a lot of players and with not too many quality players seeming available they may struggle to attract any quality unless they pay over the odds.

I think if Noble gets some bobies in and make's their home a bit of a fortress they might just finish above Salford.

Salford to take home the Wooden Spoon for me.

Salford have lost a few key players and i do feel it will be between them and Celtic but at the odds i feel its a good bet,i would rather have my money on Celtic finishing bottom than on a toss of a coin,because thats the odds your getting.

Your kidding! How did I miss that signing!

think they have signed tommy lee aswell

Frank Winterstein has also signed.

I'm very confident Wigan will convincingly beat a Brian Noble led Celtic Crusaders next season both home and away.

So am I.

Me too. Don't think I could cope with that embarassment again.

How can you possibly make that statement?

You don't know the Celtic Crusaders signings.

You don't know if we will make any signings.

You don't know how Brian Noble will impact Celtic.

You don't know how Michael MaGuire will impact Wigan.

I was pretty confident last season but we managed to balls that up

Easy, I just typed in my opinion using my keyboard.




Won't matter, a few washed up Aussies added to a team of average Welsh lads who only won three times last season isn't gonna change my opinion.



Don't think I need to yet. Our current squad of players are quite capable of beating Celtic on a regular basis.




Just cause he did the business for Wigan in moving us away from relegation and even though we were losing we had a squad that were light years ahead of what Celtic are now.



No, but I know of Shaun Wane and the results and performances he gets from his players. No doubt we will be better prepared on our trip down 'into the valleys', unlike last season when a Brian Noble led team just walzed in assuming victory was ours and got tonked.

Don't take it personally (I know from your posts you have a soft spot for Celtic), but I know for a fact that if this post was related to Salford you would not have mentioned the fact.

[uHow to beat a Brian Noble led team[/u:

Score 2-3 tries early on, we all know BN has no Plan B.
Play % rugby, complete your sets, play enthusiastic rugby and as a team.
Play them in a semi final.

I didn't realise Wane was our head coach.

He isn't

They will do well to get more than 4 wins and how can they survive of gates sub 4k, i hope when they are on the move next year that there gates will inprove.

It will be a strange one when we come up against them.

Noble will know all our players inside out and he’ll also know their weaknesses as well. I hope Noble doesn’t turn out to be a thorn in our side like he has with Leeds.

That being said however we’ll also know the way Noble plays. Maguire hopefully will have worked on some of our weaknesses and developed a style of play which blow them away as we have the superior players.

One thing we do know is that Celtics best games will be against Leeds.

The best games are normally against Rangers

You could have fooled me



If quite a few our players play anything like they played under Noble we may as well give up. It should be like watching a different team for us next season and likewise Noble ought not to recognise it either. At least I think that is the plan!

Much the same as this season i think. They probably need 10 new players to even compete!
