What about bringing back Tony Smith - he won 2 Grand Finals with Leeds? Could he bring that GF winning mentality to us?
Some people think that its all about the quality of Academy players? How important was the talent coming through Wigan's Academy to Wane and where is the guarantee that he would win with a lower quality of Academy like at Wire?'"
He’d win you a Grand Final IMO and I don’t doubt that whatsoever. He seems to be labelled as a one dimensional, aggressive up and at them and bash the hell out of them merchant but Wanes teams at Wigan could play when he was given the right attacking tools. When you’re stripped of you best attacking talent year in year out, then it becomes difficult to keep on building attacking structures but he dealt with absolutely everything that was thrown at him, picked a replacement up from the academy or in some cases on the cheap to develop them and cracked on and carried on winning.
If you guys want to win Grand Finals then there is no better man IMO. I actually think with the financial resources Wire have that he’d still have you playing some good stuff, as you wouldn’t have your squad ripped pillaged every year.
