I'm sorry, but I just don't fancy Brian Noble as Halifax RLFC coach full time, whether or not Matt is or isn't with the club in the future.
I just don't fancy paying to watch boring RL, hell I could go to Odsal, Galpharm or Headingley for that. OR, to watch decent RL, I could travel to the other side of the Pennines for the likes of Saints, Warrington or Wigan.
Even the NRL has got out of defensive mode & play with flair nowadays.....
I wonder what the future holds for our beloved club's style of playing rugby league ?

And is Brian Noble not the most successful ENGLISH coach??? Don't know if you've noticed but since "Nobby" has been involved our defense and commitment has improved???? I feel for one that Nobby's input could inprove the club as a whole??? anyone else??? mind you this is personal opinion!!!

We came a Dave Larder fingertip away from reaching the Grand Final in 2005 under Faz after a great run of form in the latter part of the season yet people still moaned as we were playing 'boring' rugby.

We just need a coach who can shore up our somewhat dodgy defence whilst keeping our exciting brand of attacking rugby. I thought we were onto a winner with Nobby on board to mentor Matt et al on this. I admire teams like Batley who play the simple stuff very effectively and win games by them (that's how they beat us) Would I want to see a Karl Harrison type team every week? I'm not so sure.

According to todays courier, Nobby has not been at the Shay since last Sunday?

Fax's statement includes

"The Club's now excited to work hard for the remainder of the 2011 season, and its planning for 2012"

Planning for 2012? does this mean they know the answer?

3 day's John and we can plan for next season regardless of the outcome.

A Grand Final appearance this season, while possible, is a massively long shot, maybe time to look ahead rather than wait until late september to start planning

Good point, I agree.
