did any 1 spot the tvs at the ground at half time it went to wigans room then rover s was well inpressed the way maguire had a 1 to 1 with every player told them what ever then patted them on the back then he sat down in middle with full team and give his speech

yes notices it . obv had different things to say to each individual .

The way it should be.

Good to know that he is focussing on each persons game and going into the finer details too

Was just going to mention this. Very interesting way of doing things. You get so used to seeing the coach sat on a chair like Morgan actually was.

I have to admit wigan look a pretty well drilled team this year under maguire. Wigan look fitter, faster and giving the ball some more air than they have over the noble reign.

I liked his interview after the game in which he said he's not getting carried away as it's only week 2.

Even under noble i always said if wigan sort there attack out they would be huge threat to leeds ans saints. I still think wigan need to improve the attack even though they put to good scores on celtic and hull kr.

All in all i was pretty impressed with wigan last night.

Well im just sticking the match on now so Ill look out for this at half time then.

Because I am normally at the match and don't normally watch it after on the telly; but was the chairs thing in the dressing room before the game a new thing or has that been happening a while. It reminded me of circle time. Hull KR players were sat on the benches

I was mentioning this to my dad after watching the game again. It's something that the Melbourne Storm do and MaGuire has obviously brought this with him to Wigan.

I have just watched the game on sky (recorded) and really liked the dressing room at half time. It seemed maguire set the room out like a meeting, they sat on chairs instead of benches and he spoke to each individual player. Im guessing this is an australian thing but I really like it. It then showed the away dressing room which was a lot different, some of the players could hardly see the coach.

Anyone have an opinion?

I was impressed with this too! It was clear that he had some advice for each player.

Keep it up Madge!

Very impressive start for the new man.

Has backed up his rep so far.

Deacon apart they are the same players as last year but they are a completely different team.
Only down to the new coaching set up under Maguire's leadership.
When we think back to our first two home games last season, what a difference.

It shows good man management, each player having his role in the game reinforced and then addressing the team as a whole. What I did like was at the beginning of the game, it looked like Carmont, Deacon Fielden and Gleeson was geeing up the whole team before they went out, the management staff just walked out and left them to it, to get proper pumped up. I wonder if they sing in the changing room after they win, like the Aussie's do?

Also scroll to 29mins into the video afterwards for a classic clip of Stevo being bitten by an ostrich they played as part of some old clips of Eddies 60th Birthday.

Boots 'n' All used to be great in the old winter days!

Never mind Maguire how biased is Eddie Hemmings! Good grief you would have thought we scored a lucky win based on what he said.
