Around the 62min mark today Noble went down to the bench and was talking to the subs - one of them gave him a look as if to say "bog off, I have zero respect for you" it was complete contempt! Anyone else notice?

Yes I did...as in not interested in what you say "look".

Its something we have seen a few times this year.

Coley and Feka have both had a pop when they have been subbed of late, a direct pop as well. It something that has been developing over the last 18 months in my opinion from the outide looking in the body language has been simply wong.

Even worse is now the fact that everyone of the pundits doing the rounds who has a friendship to Noble of any time always feels the need to drop in he is a great coach, its opinions like this that make us such a small sport, everyone knows everyone and few have the balls to speak there mind for fear of upsetting one of there mates or being blackballed in the RL old boys club.

I think it was Joel Tomkins.

I noticed the dirty look he gave Nobby.

Seems like things are a mess at the moment, which is reflected in the score.

Problem is we'll only know what is really happening after Noble leaves.

I found it interesting how someone on another thread said that nobody listens to him in the dressing room anymore. I don't know if thats true or how they know but it wouldn't suprise me seeing things like that.

It was Prescott I think but I wouldn't look into it too much.

On a 1 off occasion maybe not, if it is a recurring action as it seems to be then alarm bells need to ring!

He says something like "Joel, are you alright?"

Joel (who is clearly not) says something like "no"


Wigan are 14 points down at this point.



Not sure what you are trying to read into here?

Coley and Feka have directly blown up at him this season for subbing them.

The look was one of total contempt tonight. Its these kind of signals that give us looking from the outside in an idea of what is going on.

The Sam Tomkins interview on debut can be added to the evidence.

It is not the individual events that should be a worry but when you combine them then i feel it does show we are a club who are far from happy with the coaching.

Just watched it, and it was Joel actually, Prescott was sitting next to him and Joel gives Nobby the evils.
