During a raid last night at the home of Mr Brian Noble, Head Coach of Wigan Warriors RLFC, a number of illegal items were found.
The raid was performed by the World Widlife Fund, and the items in question were over 30 Rhinocerous hides, found in a bedroom.
Mr Noble is believed to wrap these around his body, under his clothing, prior to every game played by his team.
They provide a hide thick enough to withstand the calls to resign, following each additional loss suffered by his club.
Additionally, a large number of sheep-skins were located around Mr Noble's home.
Whilst not illegal, these are believed to have a more sinister use than being simple rugs.
It would appear that prior to each game, one is presented to a Mr Lenagan, the too-trusting, kindly old owner of Mr Noble's club.
During a winning performance, the fleece provides Mr Lenagan with a warm, fuzzy feeling, thus endearing Mr Noble to him.
However, during the (frequent) losing performances, an accomplice of Mr Noble, believed to be a Mr P. Vievers, will sneak up behind the club's owner and tape the fleece around his head - Thus pulling the wool around his eyes, and forcing him to believe the excuses and platitudes offered after each sub-standard performance by Mr Noble, blaming everybody from the referee to Humpty Dumpty and deflecting the blame from himself.
During a follow-up raid by the RSPCA at the club premises, a number of ostriches were siezed, having been found with their heads so firmly buried in the sand on the pitch that they had to be cut free.
