- Involved one of the top coaches in the game
- Fletcher was in absolute disbelief at the time
Rugby league legend Bryan Fletcher has revealed a very unhygienic act his former coach at Wigan once performed during a halftime speech to his disgusted team.
Fletcher, 51, played for the Wigan Warriors in England between 2006 and 2007 – and the Fox Sports TV star recalled Brian Noble once tried to fire up his team in diabolical circumstances.
‘He (Noble) was kicking back doing the (halftime) speech from the brasco (toilet),’ Fletcher said on SEN.
‘At the time the door was open and he was doing an ‘Edgar’ (Edgar Britt – rhyming slang for defecating).
‘He was telling “Bails” (teammate Phil Bailey) to move up in defence while he was folding (toilet paper)….then he told me, “Hey Fletch, you need to stop missing all these tackles”.’
Fletcher then said Noble was deadly serious during his team address – before adding his coach was also a ‘looker’.

Affectionately known as ‘Fletch’, the backrower made his NRL debut with the Roosters in 1997 and won a premiership in 2002.
He then joined bitter rivals South Sydney for three seasons before finishing his footy career in 2007 with English glamour club Wigan.
In 2014 Fletcher join the Fox League team – and over a decade later, remains on their books.
The father of three also recently landed $7500 after a bold pre-game bet during Magic Round that Knights star Fletcher Sharpe would score a hat-trick versus the Rabbitohs.
Away from footy, Fletcher’s life is just as colourful.
Last November he opened up about the bizarre medical treatment he received after suffering a nasty surfing injury while holidaying in Indonesia.
The former Roosters star was on a surfing holiday at Telo Island off the west coast of Sumatra when he cut his foot while trying to get back into a boat.
Fletcher’s wound was serious and required stitches – and fortunately, help wasn’t far away.
‘There was a team of doctors in a nearby house, which was perfect,’ he told SEN.
‘The guy was a neurosurgeon, but my mates wouldn’t allow him to do it until after dinner when he was blind [drunk]. They were feeding him tequila and he couldn’t even stand up.
‘I was encouraging it all, and he nailed it. I’ve got no scar because he did such a good job. Even though he couldn’t really stand up.
‘It was quite funny. He stitched it up and I strapped it and got straight back in the surf.’
