No suprises there then!!!

Worst kept secret in Super League.

Good luck to him. Two years in row he's taken his team to third, and the squad he has to use isn't that great. I'm sure he'll be a relative success wherever he goes.

Best of luck to him. I like the fella.

What a 5hitehouse that leneghan must be,telling nobby the week before the semi that it was time for a change?
what motivation that is,i hope that it comes back to haunt him

it was time for a change. wigan blew it tonight.most of the game it was boring one man rugby. when they eventually tried to create something they got success. he has taken them as far as he can

Any coach who doesn't have a contract extension half way through the season knows he's likely to be going. It should have been no suprise to Noble, or anyone. Whilst I think it's a mistake by Wigan, I can see why they have done it.

I have a lot of respect for what he's done at club level, and he comes across as a really good bloke. I was never a fan of his time as GB coach, he never really managed to create a team for me, but given our international record it'shard to really criticise an individual for that.
I am sure he will do well wherever he goes. I think it's a big loss for Wigan. We will have to see how they go next year.

Probably. But he's taken them to third (incl playoffs) and I'm not sure they have the third best set of players in the league. So on that basis, he has the players playing above themselves.

He'll be a reasonably hard act to follow. Wigan have improved greatly from when he took over without quite making the breakthrough.

He's appeared very professional these last couple of months (in front of the cameras at least) considering the rumours circulating and constant questioning by pundits/commentators.

He did say that he has known for a week but not let it out.
