Surely every coach wants a challenge and to revive a fallen giant must be a lucrative opportunity.....It was for Brian Noble, thats why he went to the Pies. Look at Tony Smith aswell....Im sure he's gone to Warrington for the challenge of taking them up the table and meeting expectations. With Bulls its a Win Win. Morgan takes em up the table its his coaching skills. if the stay stagnently treading water at the bottom of the table Morgan gives it "I feel sorry for Steve Mc because I can now see how uninterested and poor this group of players are!"


Disagree. Bradford, like Wigan, have a high weight of expectation around them, expectation which their budget (probably) and current playing staff (almost certainly) are not going to be able to deliver. If he achieves nothing, he will get sacked and no longer be regarded as the promising young coach he is seen as at the moment.

I think part of Smith's reasoning might have been that he wanted to get back into club coaching (his words) and Wire had a vacancy. Plus, longer term, I don't think Wire, with their rich backer and nice, manageable new ground, are in anything like the mess Bradford seem to be in.

I agree with that sentiment as much as my last comment but I think the lure of the Bulls may seem a big one for as you rightfully put it a promising young coach. At the end of the day the Bulls financially have the same as everyone else to spend on players and i believe will almost certainly have funds available for a new coach (the Greg Bird bid proving so) I hope Steve Mc can sort it at Odsal and I hope Morgan sticks with KR and is sucessful, but IMO the Bulls Head Coach is a position for any prospective coach to think about

He wouldn't. The OP just made it up.

I just made that up. There was never any truth to it.

I have it on very good from a memeber of PA Press that McBanana will stay on as coach this season if not replaced interim by Hanley (if Bradford can afford it) However the interesting bit is that the rumours in the press circle is that Noble will be back for 2010

Quite right - Noble wants out of Wigan - expect him to return to the Bulls






Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

How do we know or rather how do you know that Noble wants out of Wigan? If so i'd like to see him get pally with that Tomkins half back. He might do well at Odsal

Noble to Bradford.
Shaun Edwards to replace him at Wigan.
All in 2010.

The question is would Bradford be able to match the salary demands of Noble after a couple of years of getting 2.5 times more than he was on the last time at Odslum ?
