it seems like a lot of people on here want noble to come in and think hes guna be some sort of saviour but i dont see it happen. He did nowt wi wigan or crusaders and is overated imo.

i think noble could do alot better then agar, he got crusaders into the playoffs after putting a team together in 6 weeks, agree did nt do to well at wigan, only coach to win 3 grand finals

i dont see him turning club around although am not sure who would want to come into the clua at min wi the current BoD or who else is even available.

Took Wigan from near certain relegation to 1 game from the GF, Maguire came in and added 1 player and won the league and GF.

Took the Crusaders jobs weeks before season starts assembled a ragtag bunch together in no time at all and took them to play-offs.

So yeah i guess he did nothing at either team

not saying i would like noble on board but having said that he got the crusaders up and running in a matter of weeks , also managed to unearth sammut something we could not manage to do.
also whilst at wigan he blooded the young ones and set them on the path to be a force again . for me i would be happy if he had till the end of season to prove his worth just maybe

Don't misunderstand me and presume i am a big Noble fan because I am not. However it annoys me that people cannot seem to see what he did at Wigan & Crusaders.

One thing you can guarantee with Nobby is that he wont let the players rest on their laurels like they seem able to do at the moment. Remember the game last year when he kicked the bottle etc, you can see his passion etc from incidents like that. We currently need someone to light a fire under our players because it seems clear to me Agar is letting them just go through the motions, and the only time they are fired up is when it suits them.

You said everything I would have said!

Twice in one year

Beginning to become habit forming this Paul

So let me get this right, with Nobby we may scrape 8th

If the board leave it too much longer play offs will be a far off fantasy

If we can tempt Tommy Lee back, maybe it's on.

i would defo bring in noble even if it was for the rest of this season (earn a longer deal). he would certainly get a lot more out of our squad than agar ever could, i think he would attract good players too, he is very well respected in the game.

fair enuff he did ok with wigan and crusaders and dint really think about it when i wrote it initially but i dont think he woul turn things round here.

it will be better then sticking with what we have got and finishing 12th, if we give noble time he as plenty experience to take us further

tbh, i think the only thing missing at hull is a good coach, i think he would turn it round

And Blake Green IIRC.....

How did he unearth Sammut?

Well he managed to sign him and Witt and Schikofski (spelling?) when we struggled to find anyone for 3 solid years.

With a pick and a shovel

.....exactly!!!

And Harauki (now at leeds)

I meant more along the creativity side of things though. Which the 3 I mentioned certainly have. My psot is also not a dig at the signings of Meley/Fitz etc just that we have been crying out for creative players for so long but there was never anybody available yet Noble managed to brings these players in with very short notice.

If we'd have signed a 34 year old full back who hasn't played league for years there would have been a up roar.

I don't know how much in earthing these players get, I'm sure the agents just send their names out to every club when their available.

And the other 2 who are much younger??? The fact is Noble had the foresight to sign the players, whereas we went with the super fit super young Long who was always a massive gamble, one that has ultimately failed.

We signed Long before the others became available.

Crusaders are also in the position that they don't have to comply with the quota.
