On that logic we have Briers and Sculthorpe nailed on next season!

I suppose at least we know Noble IS actually looking for a new job as things stand and if Wigan change their mind on the back of recent form he would be silly to stay.

Wouldn't we all, but we know that isn't going to happen in the short term.

No logic , just mentioned by a director who also said Sharpe is going at the end of the season.

It's as likely as us binning Sharp for a different DOR.

Director of?

Why would he be silly to stay if he has worked hard to impress and win over his employer? Having seen Wigans academy and reserve grade this season as well as the improvements the first grade have made it would take a silly man to walk away of his own accord.

Each to their own I suppose RBA but if a friend of mine rang me from down under telling me my current boss had just been offered him MY job I wouldnt be happy!

Might get shot down here but i'd have Noble here over the current set up anyday - OOC at the year end and consistently has his sides there or thereabouts in the play offs. Can't see why people knock the bloke.

Re McRea i'd have him in a DOR role, with his contacts in Oz coming in very handy

Because he's dour!

Not just out of contract but hasnt been offered a new deal AFAIK.

Of course you wouldnt. But on the flip side if you have grafted your nuts off to bring a strong infrastructure to the club and you could see that a potential period of dominance was round the corner, why would you walk away and let somebody else take the plaudits?

Because your contract has ran out and you have not been offered a new one?

One of the fc directors.

Yes but i entered this discussion on the back of you saying that Noble would be silly to stay in the event of Wigan CHANGING THEIR MINDS about offering him a new deal.......

Is that it? Not the old Peter Sharp argument again is it...he's dour so he's inafective as a coach



Noble is the most successful SL coah in the comp and like i said he gets his teams there or thereabouts each year - Wigan appear to have devloped a fiar bit since he took over. That would do for me.

Sharp is our DOR?

His coaching record certainley reads well
2001/2003/2005 Grand Final Victories
2003 Challange cup
World club Championships 2002/2004/2006
Superleague coach of the year2003
Ex Geat Britain coach with a 43% win ratio
Saved wigan from relegation 2 years ago
Wigan (with a fair few injuries , them things we as a club use as an excuse year after year) to within 80 mins of the Grand Final last year.

Compare that to our current coach and I would have noble as our coach tommorrow given the chance.

no we presently do not have one

Sharpe is operations manager (some-thing along those lines)

I just dont see any solid working relationship between Noble and Leneghan. Just cos things are rosey on the pitch at the moment.

I'd have Mcrae back, we played attractive rugby, signed unknown players who turned out to be gems such as Raynor, Best, Dowes etc, he brought young players through, is a good spokesman to the media.

at the time I thought he'd taken us as far as he could and wasn't bothered that he was going, but I'd take him back now.

Ask your self a simple question ...........


Was the rugby on display better under Bomber ?



Well I guess we all know the asnwer to that one

I'd take him as DOR. Always seems to pick up good quality players from down under

But he did sign Chris Smith also.

Got to say I have always liked Bomber,but to have him back?Don`t really know.Does returning to a club ever work second time around?
