| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"Carmont is interesting. He'll be 32 during the playing season next year, so would you give him a two year deal?
If you do where does that leave Marsh, Goulding and Thornley?'"
One of my favourite players but one year is enough and then let him earn another.

| Quote Mini Rogue="Mini Rogue"Noble wanted Ennis instead of Piggy but IL chose the cheaper option, unsure about Amos though but he doesn't seem to be the type of winger Noble would pick from what he previously picked at Bradford.'"
IL signed Roberts and Noble wasn't happy but things like this happen.

I heard near enough the opposite. That Roberts was signed with Noble's full agreement.
I also heard that the decision to permanently drop Ainscough in favour of Roberts was totally Noble's decision, and that it ruffled a few feathers (Roberts having been signed partly as cover for full back) but that certain people at the club then felt they couldn't interfere with team selection.

Bloody hell, Mark Bryant and Lincoln Withers are world class now??????
Says a lot about what's an acceptable level of player ability and performance for some
Come on Brian mate....
People really really overuse the 'world class' tag these days.

I wish him the best of luck. He's going to need it, if that's his plan.
Wasn't it the Wales RU coach who boasted that any decent players emerging at Celtic would immediately be nabbed by RU? I can't see there's much scope for it working the other way, and as for pinching some older RU boys - I can't see a bunch of 15-a-side veterans coping in SL. The likes of Tommy David did it with Cardiff in another era, and it didn't even work then.

I think you're right there about the Wales RU coach. Wasn't it Graham Henry, who's now in charge of New Zealand rugby union?
I don't think Noble is daft so if it obviously isn't going to work he'll ditch the idea.
And you don't know if a certain question was out to him by a Welsh journalist. 'Would you entertain union players Mr Noble?' Easiest thing is to just say 'Yes, lad'.

In principle, I respect the notion of raiding RU. We got great talent from it in the past, though that was at a time when top Welsh players needed the money. That doesn't tend to happen now, so I suspect that, as you say, Nobby was probably thinking aloud rather than announcing a genuine campaign.
