I've always said you should judge a team and a coach by how they finish and what they win. We're in the semi final of the challenge cup, (better than last year) and still in with a chance of play offs (ok, only because the play offs have been increased to 8. Maybe the RFL knew what we'd be like and conspired to still keep us in it! hahaha)
But this season I'm changing my mind. I can't remember ever having to walk away from a game and check my fixture list to see how long it would be before we could scrape a win and it be in a months time if we're lucky. The only game you'd look at and think "Yeah we'll definitely have a win there" was Celtic and look what happened there! We're too inconsistent and even if we had another good play off run to get to the semi final again, I don't think it would save Noble.
It's alright saying that he gets his teams hitting the straps at the business end of the season, but it makes it too hard to be serious contenders, and is really disheartening going watching a team that seems like its going through the motions half the time.
That is the culture that Noble has instilled in the club. It is ok to dish up garbage for most of the season "because the league is won in October". Seems like the players have taken it literally, there seems to be absolutely no motivation until we get to the playoffs.
That's why we've lost 2,000 casual fans, people won't pay to watch rubbish. The sooner he goes, the sooner we start getting our club in order.
