Can,t agree with Ian Lenaghan. I think that Wigan played as well as they possibly could last night. It was just that the Saints defence, which was superb, stifled them.
You will have to go a long way to find a coach to do what Noble has done at Wigan. Staring down both barrell's of relagation when he took over, and has been a regular in semi-finals three years running. not a bad year by Wigan considering losing first choice 1,6,11 for large parts of the year.
As for Jon Sharp there welcome to him.... average at best

I think Noble has been harshly treated by Wigan, he is a good coach and he always seems to have his teams playing at their best at the business end of the season. I wouldn't say no to Noble if he came to Warrington as the eventual successor to Smith.

As you say, the thing that Noble can do is turn a sows ear of a squad into a silk purse at the business end of the season for some reason. We just needed a coach who could manage not to turn a silk purse of a squad into a sows ear on a seasonal basis. Hopefuly Smith is that man.
