I know that, which is why I said "had he been in charge".

You can add Ryan Atkins to that list too. He left because of Nobby too. I was speaking to him a few weeks back on a night out in Pudsey and he said he went to see Noble asking to be given a chance over Ben Harris, yes I said BEN HARRIS (remember him!!) , and he was told he wasn't ready by Noble. Macca was of a different opinion.

ben harris was superb, atkins was in no way shape or form ready to displace him

...and that tells it own story. Ben Harris was an excellent player for us. Ryan Atkins is very average indeed.

For one who seems to want the whole world to love Mr McNamara, your defence case is curious to say the least.

think that might have been part of the problem with young Ryan. Likes his nights out a bit too much

Perhaps he does, when i've spoke to Atkins he's said that Noble never seemed to have any faith in the younger players. And he's not the only one who's said it.

Perhaps he might be a little bitter?

Nah, thats not like Raz, think he's just being honest in my opinion.

Raz? I call him R.

Why?

Isn't his name Ryan.

Another interesting point of note for Mr Highlander is that if Mr McNamara rated Atkins so highly, how come we were interested in practically every RL centre in the world, yet we were not linked with him.

Go figure.
