If the bloke is available, and the board have the money to sort it, Noble is surely the man to take us to the next level.
A longshot I know, but they do come in now and again

100% agree

maybe Mcrae will be gone? Noble and Millward to replace? think these would do a very good job at the club!

I don't agree there. Michael McGuire took over virtually the same Wigan team that Noble had (he only signed Deacon) and has got them top of the league as well as playing some excellent rugby. He's done fairly well at Crusaders, but he's been able to play a load of Aussies and has got some good assistants with him too. I don't think he did very well with Great Britain either.

I appreciate what you say, but can I see both sides of this scenario.
If MM has guided Wigan to the top of the regular season, all credit to him. But, as you have pointed out, it was Noble who assembled the squad at Wigan, after he saved them from total disaster (bottom of the table with 2 wins from 15 games IIRC). He built the Bulls squad that ruled the roost for some time, and IMO has done a fantastic job at Crusaders in no time at all.
I could be wrong, but he really does seem to be able to steer/inspire whichever squad he is in control of to deliver the goods.
As for the GB job, it's surely a poison chalice unless Australia decide to take up ping pong rather than RL ?
Anyway, I'm off for another San Miguel so will leave it there (for now)

if noble did well this year with his crusaders team that was thrown together in 2 weeks!!imagine what he could do with the decent signings we have made!!
im getting far from excited for next year,can see it now "now now chris dont pass to broughton to often,just try get a few yards extra up the middle if poss"........"luke,make sure u sit nice and deep to oversea the defence,i dont want u creeping to far forward into attacking positions!"..."feka,,no silly stuff please,its all about percentages,no silly offloads required"...."vinnie,dont get tackling to hard,i want you injury free all season"...."tevita....theres no need to try playing to fast from the play the ball,we just need to get as many full sets of 6 in as poss"......MACRAE=RUGBY GENIUS

I thought Smith assesmbed the squad at Bratfud then Noble took over? totally in agreement with you regarding getting him, but i wouldnt touch Millward.

Either ... Brian Smith was rubbish at Bradford and they only started to win things when Nobby took over and Nobby was rubbish at Wigan and they they only started to win things when McGuire took over.

or ... Brian Smith is great but Nobby only succeeded at Bradford thanks to Smith's ground-work and Nobby is great but McGuire only succeeded at Wigan thanks to Noble's ground-work.

One way or the other, Noble must've done something right along the way.

However I think a large chunk of the success at Wrexham his year is down to a certain Mr J. Sharp ... and there's a bloke I would LOVE to see coaching aqt Salford.

Off to Penrith isn't he?

Salford play boring rugby and the players aren't improving, so let's bring in Brian Noble. That's like saying "the kids don't like the babysitter and are afraid of the dark, so let's bring in Josef Fritzl."

Scores an 8 on the Dumbometer.

Any chance you could expand, as I'm struggling to understand what you are saying.
