Because we're in the middle of a recession maybe?

As stated, Bradford got worse every season, that is not the sign of a good coach. The side he inherited carried him for the first few years. And when he realised that a side full of power but no flair can only get you so far he jumped ship. And created a Wigan side full of power and no flair! Does anyone really think he will change these tatics at Celtic?

And yet they won all 4 available trophies in the middle of his spell.

If you really think all Noble's success was luck, you truly are an idiot of the very highest order.

I actually think your an idiot. Probably one of those Bradford fans who never went before pre Super League, not really interested in the rugby, just goes for the pre match entertainment. Because you clearly no nothing about the game.

If you're going to call someone an idiot, I'd recommend learning how to spell.

That's not even mentioning the "before pre Super League" bit.

There is a certain irony to you suggesting someone knows nothing about the game though, after declaring 5 Grand Finals on the trot, 3 Super League Titles, a Challenge Cup, a Minor Premiership and 3 World Club Challenges, is lucky.

Know nothing.

And yes DILLIGAF is quite clearly a total idiot. Well spotted.

I will say again, it was lucky. Lucky coach. As proved everywhere else he has coached.

And Kear was/is mediocre in comparison to Nobby.

Indeed, making this a lucky season for Wakey. Maybe Kear will get 1/10th of Nobby's luck and Wakefield may win something.

Kear is not mediocre. We were bottom when he took over 3 years ago. We are now 5th.

We were not champions when Noble took over. We were 1, 3 and 5 years later.

If you're going to use an argument, at least use one that doesn't work against your own earlier points!

Noble is at the richest club in the league, and what has he done?

Jarryd Hayne is not mediocre and is morer betterer than Nobby and Kear put together. And he's fitter aswell. He's such a babe.

He is? When did he leave Wigan?

if that's my statement you're referring to you've taken it wildly out of context to suit your own nonsense. Its a very subjective opinion of mine and I'm talking about the slightest of differences between teams over 5 years at the top of their game, which is hardly comparable to Nobles Wigan, GB or Celtic.

I will provide you with a fact though as you seem to be short of them to support your lucky theme, of the 17 players that won Noble his first trophy for us, only 4 were in the 17 that won his last with us. Luck? I don't think so.

This has got to be a Boazza "Nom de Plume"

Ha, think Jim Carter has had a few too many brandy's! Shame though because a player like Moi Moi would make a huge difference to our pack. The sort of impact player we have missed since Big Joe. Burgess has sort of taken up this role recently, but I think he has more to his game than running through people.

Another rumour to throw into the mix is halfback Tom Hemmingway from Huddersfield according to someone on the bbc forum, apprantly he's heard from someone inside the Bulls camp that he will be cover for Deacon.

The ultimate insult.

THe lad who couldn't get in the Batley, Halifax, Leigh or Huddersfield side.

Sounds perfect for us then...

However mediocre Noble was, I don't recall him losing a first round play off match ever....

He's only ever lost 2 play off games.

I spoke to Tom last night, but he wouldn't say much. Gave me a wink when I mentioned the Bradford rumour, but I don't know if he was winding me up!!

Please god Nooooooooooooooooooooo.
