How is he not in your opinion? He was poor for Wigan i agree, he in my opinion never stood a chance due to his relationships off the field and history. He lost the dressing room the minute he walked in.
Nobles effect is like a cancer though is a slow death and a slow loss of confidence. Noble stood a chance at Wigan, Millward never did.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Because he is a strong character who will dominate the dressingroom and command respect. Something we have not seen since Mike Gregory. Not to mention his record.
Why would you not want him?

Turned Leeds into League Champions in his first season, something many bigger names had not achieved in 32 years
Went on to claim the WCC, and then, despite being under the kosh from know-nowt Leeds fans, delivered another title
Likes to use the academy (IIRC about 11 of our 2004 Grand Final winning team came through the ranks) but will use decent older players if they fit in with his plans
Forget his World Cup with England, they were going to fail whoever was in charge. And I'm sure he'd leave that post if he was offered a job like Wigan.
So if Smith was appointed, what would you think of that?

Tony Smith at Wigan would be outstanding.

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars

would he bring in any 'big units'???

true, but people said that about Noble, awsome at Bradford. But I would say Smith would be my first choice followed by Paul Cullen
