There you are eccles star!



It's been a while since the last crisis, your fingers must have nearly seized-up. Can always rely on you for forthright, hard to read, negativity without full stops.

Will the Good Doctor be taking over himself in 8 games time when you are further down the league?

Feeling all nostalgic , this story has caused a tremor that seems to have woken up afew old timers from their antediluvian slumber.

Just need mitemouse-philyourboots to join in & smithy68 to start telling us of his dreams and it'll be just like the bad-ole-days

Good God this is the last thing we need, there's more than enough malcontents from other teams infesting the board without those we all hoped had had the computer use privilege taken away from them by the staff at Meadowbrook.

While I am surprised that Harris has left Wigan,with their involvement in Wales - and while I respect your posts on a number of subjects - I think it difficult to judge anyone against the backdrop at Crusaders,and their owners,during that period.

They may have ended with the wooden spoon but they did start with a 4 points deficit.

As a young coach at the time he demonstrated his strength of character with his willingness to discipline - [url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/celtic-crusaders-suspend-7-stars-140166Story[/url

Or you could say that seven players had that little respect for him as a coach they went out on the lash in the lead up to a game.

Good God he's back from the dead. Having been 6 ft under for 12 months he must have missed the departure of Simms & now Noble,



I dont suppose you have bought a ticket this year either Eccles have you?



If you are 'Eccles Star' then I would hate to see the supporting cast.

He'd lost the dressing room, simple as, with players frustrated at complete lack of a game plan.



It may be that he has learned from his time there, and his time with Shaun Wane may have been invaluable, but can you really see him having the strength and gravitas to deal with a rampaging Koukash? I can't help feeling that the coach required at Salford is one who will insist on being in charge, at excluding chairman when required, and that Harris has really just swapped one assistant coaching for another, except the head coach doesn't know much about on-field tactics.



I've no beef with Salford at all, and I really thought you'd be interesting this year, but it does seem like your biggest asset and saviour is also one of your biggest problems.

Slugger I think you are wrong about the loss of the dressing room at Cru. The problem there was that the players were not being [size=150paid[/size on time.



Rugby League players view this as #1 and it has always been the case.



Think we should give Iestyn the time now (12 months max) to show what he can do.

I just hope that this weekend’s shenanigans don’t effect the players in a negative way, we have a huge game on Friday night against Bradford, it’s a must win if we are serious about finishing 8-6. My fear is that the players will again have to get used to new coaching methods and idea’s and it will be like starting all over again. We need stability now, let the players gel, put some structures in place and start winning a few games. No doubt the players were still getting used to each other and Nobles structures so it concerns me that we’re effectively ripping all that up and starting again.



I don’t think Harris is the answer and a combination of player power and Marwan’s impulsiveness’ (if that’s the correct word) seems to be the reason for Nobles departure. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think Noble was the long term answer, but nor do I think Harris is. I give him 10 games and if we’re not looking like making the 8 he’ll be out.



Just as we thought things were looking up as well!! It seems it’s never that straight forward at Salford.

I can see Harris letting Long lose on the backs for this weeks game, as I mentioned on a previous thread I spotted him the other week working with the backs on plays that I doubt Noble would have let them try in a game situation. I can see this Friday things clicking and us rattling up a decent score, if what has been said is true the players who have been up in arms about Noble will I'm sure put that little bit more effort in.

has anyone mentioned which players were up in arms with noble?

Anyone shed any light on who they are?
