Noble guided Wigan into the Super League play-offs last season

Wigan coach Brian Noble says his young team must be more composed, after they surrendered a 14-4 lead to lose 40-24 at Catalans Dragons.

The defeat was the Warriors' seventh of the current Super League campaign.

Noble told BBC Radio Manchester: "We've got a talented team and I'm confident we can make an impression if we learn the element of composure.

"We have to learn it quickly though because it is something you need in modern day rugby league."

He added: "We can't keep taking one step forwards and two backwards. I just hope the defeat at Catalans will prove to be a learning curve in the long run. It's a huge lesson for us.

"Some of those younger blokes were looking a bit fatigued, mentally not physically, so we'll need to take a look at that.

"We'll get them there and it's important we don't lose faith in them."
