We seemed to have gone stale under Noble. When he took over us we were in a far worse position then Wire found themselves in last year and if we'd been in a similar state Nobby might have guided us to a trophy pretty quickly but the rebuilding job was huge.



He got us so far and then everything seemed to stall. I think everybody at Wigan should be grateful to him though as he's left us some pretty solid foundations to build on.



Next year should be a really good season. Leeds and Saints will be there or therabouts and i'm expecting big improvments from Wire, Wigan, Hull, Bradford and Catalans aswell as the continued improvment of Hudds, Wakey and Hull KR.

I think most teams need the same thing.

Recorded interview with him at the top of the page.



If you can get it working, it's a bit touchy when using chrome.

Can't get it to work in Safari either and I've got Flip4Mac so that wmv files work.



No Problem working in Firefox.

It's the future

I prefer Chrome - just waiting for the Mac version.

I am very impressed, and feel tumescent at the thought of the forthcoming season....

Stop popping the Viagra then.

I am always sceptical to this theory Brian Noble has laid down 'solid foundations' for Mike MaGuire to build from. I think it is just an over used cliche. The main message I seem to be getting from the management, and one of the main reasons supporters are feeling optimistic, is the change of culture going on around the club. Also it's not like we're keeping the same staff either - we've had a complete overhaul from top to bottom at the club in that department. We're hearing of new structures, set plays and methods from Mike MaGuire - nothing about building on from what Noble has done. I fail to see what/where these solid foundations are.

He did say we had got great facilities

Facilities

Reserve and academy have improved although it's not all down to Noble

Noble took us from bottom of the table to finishing 3rd 3 years on the bounce



The club is in a much better state than 2005 and 2006, MaGuire would have a much tougher job if he was taking it from there.

Noble himself said he'd built us a bridge and was sad that he wouldn't get to paint it...................they're leaving that to Feka, Pryce and Riddell as part of the extra fitness work.



All the stretching of the arms should rid them of their 'Moobs'.
