Problem solved!!

Bit harsh. I live in Hull and spend a fortune each year travelling over to Wigan and going to away games usually on a Friday night after a busy week at work. A week in which if I only performed 50% of the time I would be sacked. It is an insult to the fans to expect them to pay to watch the drivel we saw at Hull KR this year amongst many other places.

Harsh maybe! But to choose last night of all times to come on to the forum and slag off the coach was pretty poor timing! And like I said, we could win the GF and some people would want Noble out. And I'd refute any similarity to Dorahy. When you see Noble walking up Standishgate chomping on a pasty and spilling the gravy down his shirt, maybe. Until that time, no way!

You cannot really hold the moral ground with that comment though KW. The similarity is in the playing form. The Dorahay era mirrors 2008 albeit the players back then got themselves out of jail far more frequently.

I honestly do not care if our coach is a slob or whatever as long as he does not break any laws and can coach.

Re your comment. I know many people who find the constant chewing of gum by coaches such as Noble distasteful.

It was only a few weeks ago we were singing your not fit to wear the shirt at the players now they turn in performances like the last 3 games one game away from the GF.Where has this form been all season ???????
I have to agree with CP fate more than good coaching .

Was it fate we were not religated. Was it fate we are for the second season 80 mins away from a GF with a real posibility of getting there. Is it fate that BN is the coach with the most gf's uner his belt already. Is it fate he was chosen for GB coach. Is it fate the management have faith in him. He said there were problems to resolve. He probably not in a position to name them. With the team pulling their weight to a man now we see what is a match winning team. When the ref blows that whistle Noble has no control over the effort each player will put in. Is it not time to sto licking your wounds and enjoy the moment. Lets face it if we lose aganst Leeds. There is a long winter to endulge in a sea of self-pity.

HC, Noble came in, key players like Hock returned to the team at a similar time and we then broke the rules to sign Fielden and Dobson. Bradford were dominant before he became coach. What did he leave behind? A mess. His stint at GB was fairly disasturous.

The coach coaches, selects and interchanges players. Colbon instead of Calderwood has to be deemed a monumental mistake. Likewise Noble refusing to read the game and rely on pre planned interchanges has been a monumental mistake as far as say Higham is concerned.

My own personal opinion. Hypothetically, if Noble haad been struck by illness and could not coach we would have been in the same position play off wise but better in the league with Barrett as an acting player coach.

Until the pounding by Huddersfield Barrett wasn't at the races. I think that personal differences in the camp is more responsible for the seesaw standard of performance that we have witnessed in the team. THe team coming out without the fire and passion in not purely down to the coach. Since the fans got through to them at Hudd. we have seen a different team. Barrett for one is a different player, Fielden, Lulu, Hanson have all upped their game. Now they are playing with belief, effort and passion they can win the GF. More on the subject when the season is over.

Calderwood would have played his last game for Wigan RLFC and we would have had Colbon on the wing. I do not care whether people are pro/anti Noble, even a St Heleners can see Calders has been great and added something to the team that Colbon could not. Fate more than the coach has made us better. That has to be a coaching error. The players cannot do it if they are not selected.

Joel Tomkins is a great young player. He was actually too good for Widnes. If Noble had his way Joel would not be playing. Fate more than the coach has made us better. That has to be a coaching error. The players cannot do it if they are not selected.

I have posted before that Noble is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in your eyes.

He completely out foxed Potter and his stereotypical Aussie style and you cannot find the grace to offer him any praise what so ever.

Churlish to say the least.

Noble for me has finally started to get his tactics right and the timings of his subsitutions spot on, also having a decent bench helps!!! The tactics of shutting down the oppositions creative players is finally being done, Long and Pryce didnt get a lookin neither did Deacon/Harris, or Bosch/Mogg, If we do the same against Leeds and close down Burrows/Maguire, Wigan will win!!! Keep it going Nobby!!

LoL not really DOD

Do you honestly think we outfoxed Catalan. That game could and maybe should have been won by Catalan in the first half. I am glad we won but I defy anybody not to be impressed by Catalan even on that showing.

Your comment on Potter shows ignorance.
