I wouldn't be surprised if Roby does a Tommy and stays for an extra year to help out the new coach. I also wouldn't be shocked if this was the reason Watson recently signed a new deal at Hudds. He seems like the standout option from SL. I kinda like the idea of Watson and Peet battling it out over the next decade or so too.

That’s some turnaround from earlier this morning when the suggestions floating about seemed to be that he was staying. I’d expect if he goes, Roby will do the extra year to steady things and help make Wellens job a bit easier (presuming Wellens gets the job there mind).

You'd have to be a complete numpty not to get a title challenge out of the squad St Helens have - I certainly don't think there would be a Cunningham esque meltdown if Wellens took over.

Roby is doing another year.

Correct. It's the reason we pulled out of the verbal agreement we had with Dwyer.



As for Woolf, it'll be sad to see him go but it's also exciting to see Wellens take the job on. There'll always be the fear of another Cunningham scenario happening but I feel like Wellens is more prepared and has a bigger and better standing within the game than Cunningham had.



Someone mentioned Peet and Watson battling it out but what about Peet and Wellens. Two locals lads head to head coaching their boyhood clubs at the top. Can't ask for better than that as far as the derby goes.

He’s also got a far far better side than the one Cunningham took on. I’m not sure the worst coach in the league could fail to make you extremely competitive. Guys like Roby, Lomax, Makinson and Knowles won’t let standards slip. He’s really lucky in that regard Wellens.

I bet Adrian Lam could...

I’d love to see it!



So difficult to judge what type of job Lam has done at Leigh. I think anybody on here could throw that group of players out in the championship and get similar results.

I'm a little bit biased here as one of my best mates was involved working for Wigan with Lam and despite the banter we had and continue to have, I still stick up for him.



What I will say is that Lam was without French and Field for all of last season and if you look at the number of tries scored and the assists from both this season then if you take them out of the current Wigan team, you wouldn't have won the CC or sit 2nd in the league. In 2020 you were inches away from winning the Grand Final having finished top of the league. Lam had a hell of a lot of bad luck despite everything and I know a lot of what went on behind the scenes trust me.



As good as Wigan have been in parts you were less than 4 mins away from losing that CC Final. Things could look very different had that not gone your way.
