FMC you need to get out more

if i told you why i hadn't been out this last 12 months, you'd call me a liar

although you've just reminded me

just to say, we weren't exactly a free flowing try scoring thang for a couple of years in the middle of that, lest we forget the matt russell, higham, clark, ratchford scoot a thon that we became for a few seasons

What is the guarantee that he will win Grand Finals?

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?

Wane would bring one thing that we have sorely lacked through all the good, bad and ugly of rhe last 10 years - a win at all costs, [iall costs[/i mentality.

Genuine rip up the rulebook, damn your sportsmanship, push the limits then push them more throw your mother under the train obsessive, mongrel desire.

Like most people I look back at the first half of TS tenure and regularly go misty eyed at the memory of the rugby, but when the chips were down we went all stiff upper lip instead of stiff uppercut.

I quite fancy becoming the panto villains again, perhaps we can revive The House of Pain.

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.

Imo he be inheriting a club at the top, like he did Wigan, and slowly run it down to the dregs Lam ended up with.

I'm happy with this IF it's true, he's the coach i want so time will show if it pays off. He brings a very tough mental side to players, won't take crap and demands 100% effort all the time. He can take us to the next level i'm sure of it

I’m not a massive fan but I can’t see it was Wane that wanted all his star players sold off, that type of decision comes from the top. The fact that Wigan are investing in bringing players in (back) may be related to Lenegans decision to sell the club.

From what I understand he left Wigan in the end because of the financial restraints he was working to and the refusal to support his plans with the necessary finances.

Wane's last game in charge of Wigan was a Grand Final victory. If he wishes to run Warrington into the ground in a similar fashion he's more than welcome for me.

Also the "dregs" you refer to also lost the Grand Final in the last second last year.

I guess it played a pretty big part. It’s Lenagans business model to let players leave when their wage demands get too high and he’s brought in transfer fees for many players but as a coach when you have to deal with some of your best players leaving each year it can’t be easy. I think the fact Tomkins, Bateman and Sutton were going at the end of 2018 and if replaced, were being replaced with cheaper options tipped him over the edge. I must admit I thought in 2019 we’d decided to really cut back and not spend up to the cap but that then changed for 2020 and now we seem to be making moves Wane probably wanted before his exit. Maybe it’s the investment Mike Danson put up that’s made it possible but I bet Wane wished it had happened sooner (although maybe not on George Burgess).

If Wane didn’t win a Grand Final at Warrington in his time I’d be amazed. I really hope in that case that these rumours aren’t true

Rightly or wrongly I’m treating this as confirmation!
Welcome to Wane’s World!
