| He cut a strange figure before the match where he stood for a good 10 minutes watching Hull warm up, he only briefly sauntered across to where his own team were preparing but still didn't take his eyes of Hull. It looked odd and it's not something i've seen any other coach do, It's as if he was staring someone out . Surely he'd have been better served working on his own teams preparations???

But why would he want to break the habit of a lifetime?

Is that his normal routine?

| Distancing himself from the team, and a generaly "hands-off" approach to coaching seems to be his normal routine.

| What can Noble do with a team that is severely weakened? Lets actually be honest with ourselves, the current Wigan team is dire. So what do you expect? Noble can only use what he has, and he hasn't got very much.

We have a team on paper, that is filled with quality NRL players England Internationals etc, Noble has a much better pool of players to pick from than most clubs.

Quality NRL players? Riddell an Roberts (who both may I add have question marks over thier heads by some fans). England Internationals are Lockers, Hock, Fielden(Not so much him but he's there and there abouts).
Yes we have some good players and one/two quality players, but you cannot say that we have a better squad than most other SL clubs.
Leeds, Sts, Wire, Huds are all before Wigan IMO. Probably even more clubs than that.
I agree that maybe Noble's tenure may come to an end at the end of the season or if results carry on, actually in the season, but when he asks for players and IL doesn't strive to sign them, can we really pin the blame on Noble?

Dropping Leuluai is not an option. He's one of very few that takes us* forward.

Ah the classic, 'it was all Elliots work'. Just like Anderson did no work at Saints.

| Quote DaveO="DaveO"Well Noble earned a Brownie point by dropping Coley. Can he earn another by playing Ainscough if Phelps is injured with a hamstring?
It would be ironic if injuries and suspensions delivered us a side selected as many of us would like e.g.
Riddell injured forces TL and McIllorum to be the hookers so we get Sam T in the team at 6 and Smith at 7.
Mathers suspended means we get Roberts or Richards at full back.
Phelps out puts Ainscough on the wing.
Dave'"
It would be very ironic if that is the case.
Lets just hope Pat gets over his calf problem though.
