Says in league weekly he's on his way to us in the next couple of weeks as director of rugby and to work along side Radders

Great news

Hopefully , He needs some sort of help

Would be great to have someone with huge experience in the game at the club.

Would be excellent news and could transform us on and off the pitch. Not the greatest coach in the world but way better than what we have

People bemoan the fact Radford has tried to turn us into Bradford of the 90's with our style of play and who did he learn that from?
Now Noble is coming in to help allegedly, I personally can't see how that will help promote the rugby we all want and develop and foster new ideas and structures in play.
I would much rather a new broom sweep in and dispose of the coach and freshen up the place the players and the fans.
But if Radford is to take on help I would much rather it be from no one that has any connection to Radford or Bradford directly.
Just my thoughts though.

Radford and Noble haven't worked together for a decade.

Bradford were 1st or 2nd in terms of points scored in every season Noble was head coach there. If he can help with our attack it can only be a good thing.

When Noble initially took over at Salford, I remember seeing
Salford play at the KC, that night they looked more threatening in attack,
they moved the ball swiftly,from wing to wing, & they troubled our defence.

I hope Noble could have the same effect on our team, I would applaud his appointment...

Well its taken 36 hours at least for this announcement in the RL papers to register on here and Dave Parker isn't the most reliable of sources although he seems to have had an inside line to our Club in the past. My first thoughts were that should the wheel comes off in the middle 8 games and at last action is taken then it will be handy having someone in house who can take over the coaching straight away, even if only temporarily! I expected the Club to deny it by now but as I say 36 hours on they haven't!

And remember how he turned Crusaders from a team of players that'd never met a week before the season started to play off contenders

Was mentioned pearson was looking for a ceo/Dor a few weeks ago

Cant see a negative at all with this news, much needed support for Radford and coach with a pretty good coaching record, you can tell his knowledge when he speaks. Wouldn't want him as head coach long term, but some kind of director of rugby would be great.

Pretty sharp u-turn from Pearson considering 2-3 weeks ago he didn't see the point in bringing anyone in to work alongside Radford. If it's even true.

Does show how desperate people must be if they're happy with Noble.

Noble's shown himself to be very anti-youth in the past too. Not sure that's the same way of thinking as AP & LR.

well we cant bring anybody in, so if he does come he will have to work with them

Would be happy with that appointment, he is a known name in the game that will help attract better players, he is also good with the media which is something the club has lacked since the likes of Kear and McRae left.

Was just highlighting the complete difference in philosophies between the club & the way Noble works.

As long as it's only short term.

So we aren't getting any help for Radders?

Would be far from my choice to bring in but its the owners pockets and we cant go far more backwards.
It's a win win for Noble.
Slight improvement and he'll get the credit and if he can't assist in turning our fortunes round he'll skulk off back to his pundrity.

Noble is currently working at London isn't he?

Was meant to be there for the rest of this season after joining them last month

Lazy journalism.

According to smailes on twitter It isn't happening and he was told from someone at the club

Don't think your opinion really counts no more,you've lost all credibility with your ridiculous backing of our current coach! Your relegated to commentating on the u19s I do quite enjoy your updates on them! Lets just hope your right about them! Actually might re-think that, westerman , Hadley not quite become the superstars you've claimed they wil be! In 1865 I do not trust . Sorry, you obviously know your stuff , just please don't get involved in our scouting or recruitment of a new coach

A DOR, and a Football manager (Motu) and Head Coach? Seems a bit odd.

Either way I'm emailing Adam Pearson back to says its a step in the right direction (even if its bobbins it plants a seed in his mind).
