| The man needs to get a grip and fast. That interview told you so much about Wane. Just angry, same old cliches and lost his composure at the end - just like his team. Tonight was a terrible loss.
However, we had 6 men out, we had a slow start, lacked composure final third, looked off in the warm up, they had a game plan and were allowed to execute it - excuses. Did Michael Maguire ever make these excuses?
Gets asked if he is under pressure. Takes offense, says no other club he would be asked that and then slams the table and leaves after a we woulda coulda shoulda had we won and hull lost etc.
He has given his all, but I am sick of him now. He is arrogant and clueless on how to turn this around other than yelling at his players. Can we honestly say he will turn our attack around next season and we'll be thoroughly entertaining? Sack him. He MUST go. What was the attendance tonight?

| Quote: 21-12 "The point I was making, is that the "replacement" has to be someone is that is available, wants to come to Wigan, and has a credible CV. Not sure why some people assume Australian coaches will drop everything and come to Wigan. Theres loads to take into account, they mave have a young settled family in OZ etc etc.'"
But no-one can know what any coach would think about the prospect of coaching Wigan, not just those in Australia. We can only speculate on [ipotential[/i targets.

You do realise that we run an Under 23's team too?

You mean a reserves team? The ones that have about 5 games a year?

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "As I stated above, I think his time has run BUT I wouldn't have a major problem with ONE more year. To be fair to him he's been dealt a real poor hand this year with the injury situation and it's a credit to him for Wigan to be where they are (look at Leeds who have had similar problems) Should we put a director of rugby above him as Salford did? Certainly the "style" of rugby has been poor to watch, but is that down to Wane or the constant changes he's had to make? I honestly don't know, and "our group" have spent hours debating it, without resolution
You've got to strike a balance. Hull have 8 in the squad yes (although Feka was only really kept because we want him for a community development role and he wasn't quite ready to hang up his boots), and that is on the high side. On the other hand 8 members of the cup final winning side were Hull lads, and our squad is packed with academy products. As it stands our overseas total for next year sits at 6.
Wigan's model of having almost a full team of local talent is very noble, but if the players aren't good enough, then what is it achieving? It helps neither Wigan or the national team. An aspiring young player will learn more by playing along side a Mark Minichiello or Sika Manu than they would just being chucked in alongside his mates from the under 19's.
