Lets not forget though....

Adrian Lam recommended Dennis Moran , one of the worst signings that Wigan have EVER made !!

Great player doesnt always mean a good coach !!

Isn't Lam's desire to be considered due purely to the fact he'll be sacked from the Roosters before long. How was his team's performance in their junior league? Does he coach in the Toyota Cup?

McGuire should be the man or type of coach we are looking for. Working in a club that's winning things, making good signings and developing their own talent. Does that apply to Lam? Don't think so!

I don't think Wigan should even be thinking about Lam either as head coach or asst.

Why? Is it because they have all got great CV's or because they are all Wigan lads or have played for Wigan?

We can recruit from outside the Parish, we are fast becoming the Newcastle of rugby, if they dont speak with a wigan accent there no good i tell tha!

I think you will find lammy doesnt speak with a wigan accent.

I think you will find he has an aussie accent

True, but he would fall under the played for wigan section

It is very hard to critique any assistant or inexperienced coach and we have to go on the judgement of IFL when he holds talks with these people.

Look at the likes of Mike Gregory or Ian Millward at Saint neither had glowing CV's prior to joining Wigan and Saints Mike Gregory was close to really turning this club around and Millward was a great success at Saints.

It has to be the right type of person to fit the Wigan club and vice versa its not just about a glittering track record, see Millward at Wigan.

I have never felt Noble is the right type of person for Wigan and that is why he has struggled.

Ultimately we have to rely on the judgement of IFL in this case and to be fair it is not often a person who is not a good judge of character does so well in the business world.

Reappointing Noble was his biggest error to date for the 2009 season in my opinion especially when a coach like Brown was available, hindsight is a wonderful thing but lets hope if the right man is available for 2010, IFL does not make the same mistake again.
