Possibly,or it could be the speed at which Harris was allowed out of Wigan.
Look,I've absolutely no problem at all with Iestyn Harris. I hope he turns out to be really good with us.
I just hate the constant carping about Noble

Yeah, but isn't talking about something actually related to the sport preferable to the usual "Ner ner ne nerr nerrrr, I call him Cockrash because it makes me feel big. He'll think twice before offending me again." level of complete and utter sand-pit and wendy house infantile drivel (sorry, dribble...actually, dribble might be more appropriate in this case) that this forum usually descends into?

Only to an extent.
Like most discussions they should have an end point because eventually they fizzle out, or indeed dribble out, and end up just repeating themselves. Or they simply get boring fast. The example you used about childish posts is a perfect example, however, constantly rehashing the same argument in a sensible discussion is also guilty of becoming mind-numbing.

| We wasn't great but I was disappointed with Salford tonight.
They certainly didn't look like a side who Phil Clarke assured would finish top of Super League and win the Grand Final.
Another new coach on the cards?

Yeah it's a massive game for Harris. For many who he has yet to impress this will be the game where people are looking to see the first signs of genuine progress. Another defeat is unthinkable really.

Yes zero wins from the last 8 games is totally unacceptable for a team at maximum salary cap. There is obviously something fundamentally wrong behind the scenes and I think it's about time they have an internal 'Cards on the table' crisis meeting with all concerned. The club are paying big money and get nothing in return. Get to the bottom of it and then fire some people through the door to set an example.

| Which brings us back to Noble..........
Sorry,Butcher,just joking.
Any coaching team can talk until they're blue in the face and mouthe all the right things about systems and progress.
The whole squad and management team has a problem if we don't beat Bratford comfortably.

Now you promised,didn't you?
Okay then.Have a glance at what Wigan fans thought after 3 years of Noble - [url=http://m.rlfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14370458HERE[/url
A management and coaching team that can mention - gelling - after 10 or 11 games? What ?
[url=http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12206/9188378/super-league-brian-noble-looks-long-term-after-loss-to-st-helensHERE[/url
Harris had 2 new combinations in the threequarters at Saints and they seemed to gell pretty quickly - none of them had to go it themselves from acting-half like Johnson at Widnes
Despite apparently spending up to the salary cap SRD have 2 loan players in the spine of the side.It is barely believable.Oh,and the last 2 defeats have been to sides going to the top of the Super League and both defeats have been to lesser scores than the players assembled by Noble could manage,against the same sides.
That does hint at improvement,I think.

| Even I am bored with the constant references to Noble now. Lets just hope the constant talk of putting the correct structures in place etc from Harris comes good in the second half of the season, starting with the Bradford game.

| Harris can continue to talk about 'structures' and blame Noble for screwing things up all he wants, but the bottom line is that Noble is an experienced and proven coach who has achieved success with several different clubs. Harris is not, and has abjectly failed in every senior coaching role he has had. I'd certainly trust Noble's structures over Harris's, and the fact that Noble was actually winning games would probably back that up. The longer you continue to buy into Harris's manipulation and garbage, the more your club is going to slip towards a relegation battle.

| The game against Bradford takes on a massive edge after they won today. I have my doubts Harris will be around at the end of the season if we lose it and we really got dragged into the relegation fight.
I get the feeling we'll have a big name Aussie coach at the start of next season.
An aside but does anyone know if Flanagan ever actually arrived? I would have expected performances to have picked up if he had.

You dont like Harris do you? 4th post on this thread all with the same vitriol. Presume you are related to Noble as well as many sheep down there as well.
Your info and use of hyperbole & rhetoric show that you are quite an intelligent man - tis a pity that your malevolence & malignity let you down in conducting a coherant stance. When you have watched the Devils for a dozen games or so maybe somebody may take note.

One of the pluses about Harris is the lack of spin.He has kept his head below the parapet and just got down to work immediately.He has inherited a dog's breakfast but it don't seem to faze him despite his critics.
Seems those young 'uns he coached,and capped,before they had any experience,played for Warrington in their victory against Leeds.
Another young player is on record with the following - They'll see a lot better drilled side for a start. I think the team is a lot closer this year, we're competing a lot better against the other sides and having a new coaching team has been a really big boost.
"It's helped loads to have Iestyn Harris on board. He's always giving me little tips and trying to help me out as much as possible. I'm always improving my game because of him."
[url=http://www.mission2013.co.uk/old-site/articlef000.html?id=1320Source[/url
Paul Highton at Salford also rates him - [url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/paul-highton-backs-iestyn-harris-6945955Story[/url
I have no idea how good Iestyn Harris may be but he has been prepared to take on the job and I doubt completely that he can do worse than Noble managed in 12 very long months.

So you have trained with him? Appears that way. Do you have any quotes from players who were not being paid by Moss & Roberts at Crusaders? Or - from the kids he trained with @ Wigan?
His League track record since joining is :-
11/04/14 20:00 A Bradford Bulls SL 24-38
18/04/14 18:00 H Huddersfield Giants SL 22-42
21/04/14 15:00 A Leeds Rhinos SL 32-4
May
03/05/14 18:00 A Catalans Dragons SL 37-24
10/05/14 18:00 H Hull K R SL 16-16
17/05/14 14:45 A Widnes Vikings SL 30-24
22/05/14 20:00 H Wigan Warriors SL 4-25
30/05/14 20;00 A St Helens SL 32-12
1 win and 1 draw from 8. Look at the teams though. Last years League Winners. Saints & Leeds Away. Wigan at home. Catalans & Widnes for me were both winnable but individual errors and the Roby brainfart cost us dearly.
The Salford fans are divided on `improvement`. I personally feel there is improvement - certainly in the style of play and the awareness of IH to bring in younger players & look for pace. Remember he was a great player - an International in both codes and admired by many. Give him a chance - let him advise MK (already has) on younger players to bring in - rebuild the shanty town of a side he inherited & also cut him some slack. Time will tell.

This is exactly the spin that I'm talking about. Things clearly weren't perfect under Noble but the results were a hell of a lot better than under Harris. Noble had a 50% win record in 2014, Harris so far has 11%. And for all the things you've just posted about young players, Wales were humiliated at the World Cup and didn't even come close to winning a match despite being purposely placed into a group with the three worst nations on paper.
You can defend him and make excuses and I don't blame you as fans, you want to feel like you're progressing as a club and haven't made a backwards step, but the truth is that Harris says all the right things to get people on his side and delivers nothing. The sooner your owner realizes this, the better.
