Very good discussion in here actually, kudos all. I guess the one thing we (as in fans who really have no idea what goes on day to day at Arden St) can all see is that our senior players are letting us down. Whether that can change this year or not might be the difference between winning two games or five, but regardless of whether we cut too deep, kept the wrong ones, overrated our youth etc., with our current “leaders” playing as they are we will continue getting belted.
It looks bad for Noble too, but I think until there is utterly clear evidence that he has lost the players then we persist - the rest of the year will tell us one way or the other. Our senior players are beyond ordinary but surely just getting back to basics, playing those in form and getting our structure right up forward plus an easier draw after the bye should see us look more cohesive, bank a coupe of wins, build confidence and look like a football team again. If we’re still losing like this come years end we should sack him unless we are devastated by covid or something…
