The only way Noble can stay now is if we win the double.

Makes me laugh when people say this because the odds are probably about 1000/1 at the moment. We have a good chance of winning the CC but Leeds/Saints will walk away with the SL as usual.

I doubt we will even consider looking for a fullback when we have Amos Roberts , Pat Richards and Sean Ainscough at the club. Unless Roberts gets homesick or we decide to release Sean Ainscough one of those players will have to play fullback.

Although many are I am not against the recruitment of Amos Roberts. At the time we had released Calderwood and Colbon and needed a winger as Sean Ainscough had not played a single game of super league and it would have been advisable to play him for a full season. So a winger was needed but my concern was the length of the contract we gave to Amos Roberts. 4 years. That simply is too young with the knowledge that we had a promising winger in the reserves in Sean Ainscough.

So true, as much as I'd like is to sign K Hunt (or keep Phelps personally don't want that) it would force Roberts and Richards to the wings leaving no spot for Ainscough, plus wingers are usually the least likely to get injured so little chance of him getting game time through that.

I never saw any official comfirmation that we'd offered him anything or he'd turned anything down..............the same as this week really.

All guesswork.

But it is the only realistic way he should remain at the club.

The odds may be huge but there the best he has in my opinion, if he is to remain at Wigan. A win in the cup and scraping into the play offs is not acceptable in my opinion.

As much as i would love him I think he is too close to a first team job in the NRL for him to come to SL.

I live in hope of being proven wrong.

Says who? It was in one Aussie paper yesterday that he's open to offers from British clubs.

Kearney is coach of a national team. Probably the most fiercely passionate of all the national teams. There must be absolutely no problem getting them up for each and every game. Could he cope with our halfarsed, feckless layabouts?
