Seems clear the club are heavily targeting the next round of IMG gradings - we are surely going to need quite a few pieces of the jigsaw to fall in place for any realistic chance. And that is before we factor in further improvements by SL clubs above and potential moving of the goalposts in the next few months.


Well Noble is 62 now so probably didn't want a long contract. Maybe the club have a target who isn't available yet?

As for IMG ratings it's clear where we need to improve. There's still scope for on field improvement but the main areas of improvement needed are with the ground - can't see any championship club managing to get attendances of 7.5k.

It's good to see how much interest this has sparked, not only amongst the supporters, but also it's the most media interest I've seen in the club for a good many years. It's even on the BBC (admittedly in the sports/rugby league section) which virtually never mentions championship clubs.

I thought the same, it even was the headline on the Sky Sports RL page!

Will we once again see a classic roller coaster Noble led season whereby the Bulls misfire for various reasons (usually suspensions & injuries) then come July (or as Nobby likes to put it the business end of the season) start firing on all cylinders for the run in!
We don't need to hit the ground running only to fall flat on the face!






The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

From memory, it was only 2005 that was like that....2001-2003 we performed well throughout and led the pack from the off. 2004 we were clearly 2nd best and finished up runners up that year.

I take your point though, it is key to hit form at the back end of the year (we've seen some Championship favourites fall foul of this!) and Nobby does have a good record of doing this.
