Did anyone hear this guys rant about how he thinks Super League clubs need to start signing union players because we aren't producing enough young players???
Is he for real? Wigan have plenty of decent young players who aren't getting a game...
For Gods sake he played 9 overseas players last week against Wakey..

He's spouted this before.

I can't believe this bloke was ever GB coach.

He would rather we spent money on Union players than develop our own for cheaper.

There is nothing stopping him taking a gamble on a Union player anyway if he thinks they can add value.

In the current economic climate, now is not the time to look to increase the salary cap, which this would do.

hmm Union does have some very good youngsters knocking about at the minute though, Wales have some fantastic backs.
I'd bet if a club took a punt on Farrels son, he'd be every bit as good as his dad.

But they can do that anyway, they don't need an extra £50k on the cap.

If they think it's a good move, go for it.

So just as the influx of imports looks to be drying up because of visa regulations, Nobby suggest we bugger off to Union for them now.

If he wants to coach Aussies and Union players, he should bugger off to the Super 14






Union is played by people who close airports after a bit of snow, League is played by people who would go and have a snowball fight with a 747

England RU has got some cracking young players coming through.

Or so we were told at the end of the last world cup.

Cipriani Noble's next superstar stand off?






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

I think Noble is living in cloud cuckoo land personally and should be concentrating on promoting the youth of Wigan through the ranks instead of putting big money into the hands of a few pockets.
