Quote: Bullseye "I can see the attraction of appointing Wane since Wiganers can see how they kicked on when Maguire took over from Noble but just because it worked for them doesn’t mean it should work for England. You’re dealing with a setup that has as little as a 3 games a year. You’ve not got as long to work with players or embed a lot of structure. Wigan play a very structured game so it would be difficult to bring this in.
McNamara has an advantage in that he’s above club politics and can’t be accused of bias or being a divisive influence like was the case when Smith was in charge. Wane or anyone else would get accused of that if they kept the club job.
Wane has taken over from Maguire in a system which has hardly changed. Putting a new gut in charge of England would mean a new system and ethos which would take time to get used to with no guarantee of success. It’s a gamble.
If we’d played like we did in 2008 it would be worth it but I think giving McNamara the chance to win the 2015 series is worth it. If England win that series he should be kept on. If he doesn’t then open the job up to Wane, Powell and McDermott. Invite them to apply.'"
as the world and his wife have said England try and attack like wigan and they have a wigan assistant already on the staff, appointing Wane would not affect the structures.
again the personnel and playing style are very different under wane, maguire was a lot more reluctant to move the ball early and in our own half.
like it or not Wane is a fantastic coach who has a recent history of winning.
Shaun Wane wants to win so he'll pick the best players, anyone who's seen the way Taylor has been pushed out at wigan will know he doesn't mind upsetting people.
I fear he'll miss out like brian clough did with the FA
