[b:3oz7jfnu]Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Some people within the club [Castleford] have come out with comments saying we're beatable and it's a great game for them and they're very confident.
Many of the comments I've heard have been bordering on disrespectful.
They can be as confident as they want, but they're going to get a tough game this weekend and we'll be trying our best to make sure they don't get that win.
We've played in some big games over these last few years and they've not played in as many, if any, so to be that confident is very risky for them.
They come here with confidence because they've scored a lot of points and beaten us at home, but I wouldn't be overconfident if I was them."

I told you that Gary was gonna go,He apparently chose the York job when it was offered because the Rams who were his preffered choice of clubs were hesitating decision wise regarding keeping or releasing their present coach Jowwit
Good luck to GT as i believe that he has done a great job down the lane,i would have personally liked to have seen him move up the coaching pecking order at our club

| Quote: Trouble Darn T Lane "I have heard that the Dewsbury Rams are becoming very interested in our academy coach Gary Thornton,he would be a big loss to our club imo if he went
word has it that he would take it too if it was offered as he's not convinced at all by Basil's coaching and how he's handling the club and it's players at present,apparently the whole coaching team don't rate him one bit and reckon that the club has gone back years from when matterson was at the club and that the after effects of this will show up down the line
Should we be concerned about Basil if this is true?'"
It looks like GT was right all along in wanting out of the club and that what i was told back in July was correct too in regards to Basil 
My choice of coach would be Karl Harrison if/when Basil departs as i believe that he did a very good job at Salford but was unfairly dismissed despite doing a very good job,he would certainly stand no nonsense from our players who clearly are more concerned about which beer run they are doing next than doing our great club any great service out on the field,it makes you realise just how good a coach TM was doesn't it |

That would shift some memberships! |

I don't think in our current financial plight we could afford Mr Sheen, yet alone Tim Sheens!

When names from the championship get bandied about I'm always amazed that no-one (apart from me) mentions Mark Aston. He might not have the SL experience or, perhaps more significantly, the profile of Powell/Harrison/Kear but despite fewer resources he has once again handed most if not all of them their posteriors on a plate. |

Excellent point about Aston, but I also think the 'secret' of his success has been long term change and consistent, predictable building and using players he wants and being allowed to sacrifice in the short term for longer term development. He is a quality person and I think I am right in saying coaching is not his main job, he couples it with other commitments, so is unlikely to be looking for a full time role no matter how *ahem attractive that might be.
Sadly, in our position and in fairness with the nature of our support, that is simply not an option becuase the patience doesn't exist.....

I've been a big admirer of Mark Aston for a few years. It always amazes me that he is never considered for a step up to SL

Good call. A big question for Saints fans to ponder will be can Nathan Brown follow up the sterling work done by Rush and Cunningham. |
