or maybe Noble has just woken up and realised that he is making a huge mistake and wants out,even though he was never in!

A visit to Red Hall to find out what (if anything) is going to happen to O'Loughlin? Or since both sides publically acknowledge that discussions have taken place then it wouldn't be a surprise if he's off to talk to Bradford about something, or even going to meet Gary Hetherington so they can discuss rugby union and Leeds Tykes getting relegated (I wonder if that's going to affect Leeds' financial situation?). It could be anything at all, it's almost like trying to find significance behind seeing a player's car on the motorway going past a sign which contains the word "Wigan" - it doesn't mean they're about to sign for us!

think we all know that,did it mention phil Clarke as hid right hand man
I've got a feeling you could be right about clarkey as he was atthe match paying very close attention to everything that was going on and the way he kept praising wign on friday and going on about them at last nights game could be a good indicator that he's comming back into the fold

He could just have gone to the RFL website for that, and found that:
"Following a meeting of the RFL’s Video Review Panel in Leeds on Tuesday, Sean O’Loughlin of Wigan Warriors has been referred to Wednesday’s meeting of the Disciplinary Committee.
He will face a charge of alleged striking in the engage Super League fixture against Harlequins RL on Monday, April 17."

I'm sure things have changed, but not too long ago I heard from a former member of staff at Wigan that ML wanted to get rid of the email system there because he couldn't understand how emails could make money for the club, he thought the system would just be costing them money instead. The potential benefits of communicating with supporters and commercial sponsors to keep them up-to-date and perhaps entice them to spend some money hadn't apparently been clear to him... But I'm sure Maurice is much more IT-savvy now - I bet he's there downloading the podcasts to his Ipod Nano every week now!

Then were buggered.

Oh well relegation here we come.

Who wants it now then. If he now as i suspect stays at the Bulls who do we go after. Another week of uncertainty and rumor ahead.
No coach with any ambition will touch us now.

When did Phil say this? Iv heard today the Bradford board have put a bid in to keep Noble at Bradford, but its thought this is just "talk" to stop the fans backlash.

Surely Noble must have agreed my now but is picking the right time to announce, MO knows how desperate we are for a coach and i would of thought demanded some form of an answer from Noble by now.

I am worried, heard and read a lot of things today to suggest Noble isnt coming after all.
