He recruited Withers and Millard for this season and they are Nobles players so his fault we ended up with them.
The squad would have been far better served with him recruiting just one experienced prop instead of those two.

Withers would have been class if fit and if ashton had stayed, i think he did a lot to help the team and just because he got injured dnt mean he's a waste of money it can happen to any player at any time.
Withers took up an 20/25 slot and while Noble could not have predicted he would have to retire to suggest a player who had to retire leaving us a man down is not a waste of money is very strange.
We also needed a prop more than we needed him so he should never have been signed in the first place IMO. The same goes for Millard. That was a mistake by Noble regardless of how good these two turned out to be.
The fact Withers retired and Millard is awful just compounds the midstake.
Millard's been good he's calmed the ruck down which means that when higham plays its a completely different game, last seasons we've had two speedy hookers in higham and godwin* millard's been playin a much more controlled role and given higham the freedom to rome when on the field.
"Millard has been good"? He is the worst signing in the last decade, even worse than DV. Hehasn't been good at all.
"calmed the ruck down". What does that mean? Are you trying to find an excuse that he does everything too slow?
"playing a much more controlled role"? Is he heck.
I am sorry but if you think Millard has been good you do not know anything about the game. He has no pace, his passing is so slow his gets his props smashed by the defence and that is if he manages to hit the target and not pass it to their feet or at their head. he is technically poor and he is physically passed it.
He is one of the worst players I have ever seen in the c&w.
both were good signings both of them got injured mid season and that's not their fault nor noble's its a fact of sport, injuries happen.
Absolute rubbish. No way were they good signings. If you think the tone is a bit harsh its simply because your opinion on these two players, especially Millard, does not have any relation to the truth of the matter.
Why you think this I really do not know. Is it because you feel you have to defend Noble? Or you must defend any player in the c&w from criticism?
It certainly can't be based on any rational evaluation of the players.
