If Nobby goes.........

You actually believe Noble doesn't know the score :eh: .

Noble knows exactly where he'll be next season and my guess is that IL can't or has been asked not to release the name of the new coach until the season is over.

I gotta agree with what has been said above, Noble should have been told yay or ney by now, its ridiculous!

Brian Noble knows what is happening. He often makes the move. Applying for Catalan when under a Wigan contract.

I may be wrong SEFC but I thought AMOR trialled after IFL took over. However, I agree. I honestly believe some great RL talents do not even play RL which is a loss and there must be talents outside the traditional amateur catchment area. It would be arrogant on our part to assume that a small area of Wigan has all the future Wigan RL professional stars.

Greg Mcnally, playing at Whitehaven, on loan from Huddersfield. One for the future, how did he slip through the net.
As someone said, Cumbria is never looked at.
Wath Brow Hornets will be up with the top teams in the National conference this season, but by all acounts now have big links to Bradford Bulls.
I honestly hope certain people will be leaving Wigan at the end of this season, for the sake of recruiting top youngsters.

Chorley have big links with Saints! Where did the Tomkins start their junior rugby? I'll give you one guess!

As for Noble, he is probably getting 60% out of the players. My view is that a new coach will get considerably more out of them, hence, I am willing to bet that we will not lose as many games as this season with a new man at the helm.

As for Waney, I don't see him as the head coach but a full-time assistant. Oh and by the way, he can motivate players. You'll be happy to know that he is currently on Pryce's case.

Excellent thread SEFC.
Tony Smith at Wigan on Challenge Cup Semi Final would have seen a different team in the final.
Hopefully with a good change around of coaching staff, the player recruitment methods will change.
Theres no doubt about it, a fit, confident and willing Pryce would be a benefit. Its just difficult to see if this is possible with the man.

the players DO know what is happening and so does Noble

but I wish IL would make an offical announcement

[cherrywarrior]

How do you know? I wish some one would tell me! I need to get better connections...

[THE 18th Man]

with or without 'connexions' it is obvious Noble doesnt have a job next year at Wigan and Noble DOES know it

lol, well if anyone knew anything for certain it would be somewhere on the net surely!

[Exiled Wiganer]

I think it would be a courageous career move to go to Crusaders. I think they are allowed more overseas players than other clubs so that perhaps appeals to him.
I like the sound of the Storm's assistant coach. that is an organisation which achieves brilliant things each year - if he could bring some of their standards and innovations we would be well set.

[fred_flintstone]

Sorry, but I don't believe for one minute he doesn't know what's happening.
