Terrible isn't it, having a British coach with a bit of personality.

I think what we need is an Aussie who relentlessly moans to the media every week and speaks only cliches, the passion Wane shows is holding our team back.

Unfortunately lizardface Maguire has already ed off home.

Acceptance is the first step to overcoming your butthurt. Well done. Now you must recognize that a higher power can give strength. Accept Tony Smith can give you strength, just like every other fans in Super league!

It must be bad having a socially retarded Gorilla as your coach. I hope he is cheap, that's all I can say!

I might have been a bit harsh with my comment as I actually don't mind Wane, he's got Wigan playing more attractive stuff than Maguire did. Personally though I think dignity in a coach is a more important trait than personality.

It's interesting, the comparison between Cullen and Wane.
Both local, passionate lads (did you see his potty mouth expletives when the so called penalty try was not awarded), have been given a job that's a "bit above their station" .

Wigan were excellent today. Fair play to them. I just get the feeling they'll come up short, like they did Sept last year. They had no oxygen left in their tank.


Last year, we had the bad luck of our key players all deciding to play their worst game of the season on the same day. That was our fall down. Mr Smith, Bobby Fulton, Wayne Bennett et al, will all have suffered the same fate, bad fortune, on the big day. It happens. I get the feeling, come the end of the year, Mr Wane's enthusiasm wont be enough.

And yet you have absolutely nothing to base this on apart from wishful thinking. Do you reckon this says more about you or Wane and Wigan?

Obviously, I've nothing to base this on, as Wane has only been coaching since Fadge went back to Oz, so it's just my opinion. I just get the feeling that Wane (like Cullen) is an enthusiasm coach, not a thinker, like Smith.

As I said, we were undone by bad performances, by key players on one night. POO HAPPENS. Hopefully we'll learn by it.

Wane, (to me) seems a little "underdone" (as did Cullen, when he came to us) as a coach. Maybe, Wigan should have gone for a big name. It's not as if they haven't in the past.

fair play to him.... he is trying to get wigan play proper rugby again.

I've been impressed with him, great to see a bit of emotion. I know he doesn't come across as the most educated guy in the world but he has a wealth of rugby league knowledge and that is what matters.

Apart from his brain fart against Widnes, iv been very impressed with the rugby we have played, we are a joy to watch at times and that showed yesterday. IMO its great to have his kind of emotion and passion back in the sport, we need characters, its something RL is severely lacking.

The media have found out that they can get a couple of seconds of 'good TV' by panning in on Wane especially when a decision goes against Wigan. Other than this coming across, at times, as a lack of professionalism, it just shows his passion for the club. The one problem that I do see was shown in an example in yesterdays game when Charnley missed that kick that would have put them 3 scores ahead. He was clearly seen to criticise him and that should have been kept for the training ground, even if it needed to be mentioned at all. He'll watch these things back and will adjust his behaviour over time.

The one thing that is good about Wane is the type of rugby that he is trying to instill at Wigan as opposed to that under Margaret.
