Can I just add something else to this discussion. At half time, when Sky showed the dressing rooms, Noble was clearly in the middle giving a team talk. It shot to Bradford. Now I could be completely wrong, (and if I am I apologise), but I couldn't see Steve Mcnamara in there, never mind giving a team talk!!

Surely after the first half performance, he would have been in there ASAP to tell them what they need to do??

Might have been stood under the camera?

If he was, the players were paying no attention. They looked in complete disarray- some players were being spoken to by, I presume fitness coaches etc, but there didn't appear to be any type of team talk happening!!

There's a rumor going about that McNamara was in the tunnel sulking against the wall and went into the dressing room for approximately 2 minutes.

Oh, and it's nice to see you not trolling Emma, which you could have easily done in our moment of disarray. Well done.

If that is true, then that is shocking IMO. How does that help the players or the team get better?

I spotted this too, Wigan were sat attentively being given their instructions for the second half. Our guys were milling around with our awesome coaching staff doing little.

It spoke volumes for the difference in intensity. But then Noble has always been good at working the half time
