I could see Shandy Farrell coming back before Sean Edwards to coach Wigan.

Why?

He's just got the Sarries head coaches job for next season.

Farrell has barely begun his RU coaching career. I seriously doubt he'd be allowed to walk into the top job at Wigan. Maybe as Wane's number two seeing as Rads has always distanced himself from it

Amen to that!

IF (and i mean IF) he goes and SW steps up, i can see no reason why we cant kick on. Its not as if he has not already got a good first team record as a stand in. Add to the fact that his record in the reserves is nothing short of phenomenal.

Even if Mr Wane does not take the top job, i am sure we will recruit the very best available. I have heard that Barrow have just got rid of a very highly rated coach?. perhaps this young gun will provide the tactical nuance required to take this great club of ours forward?

If Wane isn't ready or doesn't want it. Simply we should move heaven and earth for Nathan Brown.

The same playing roster that noble had and had us hovering around 5th and 6th you mean?!

For me the major reason we are challenging is due to madge. Without him, while im not saying we're doomed, I just fear we'll fall back to being 'on the cusp challenging' again rather than challenging and leading the way.

As I said before, Wane is not the answer IMO- Cracking lad, and a great motivator but will prove himself not to be tactically astute enough IMO and sadly I think the push into the limelight could end his wigan career. Would much rather keep him as a number 2 as wouldnt want to risk losing him.

Isn't he going back to Oz once his contract is up? Sure it took all Huddersfield could muster to convince to stay on past 2010?

They like to say that but in reality he wasn't offered an NRL job so he stayed.

If the same happens again I'd take him at Wigan.

The players are good enough to challenge.

Simple as that.

Wane and Edwards partnership will do me.

If you had asked me would Edwards have been a great choice when Noble clearly wasn't going to get a new deal before we knew Maguire had got the job I'd have agreed with you. Now I have seen what a modern RL coach can do I think Edwards needs to go and work under Bennett before coming back to RL. Edwards has been away too long. This is an about face for me as I always thought Edwards would be dedicated and obsessed enough to be a coach with modern ideas himself i.e. teach himself to be on a par with the Aussies. Now I am not sure he could without an apprenticeship.




The idea because technically he can get a release does not mean he isn't in the wrong. There are loads of examples in every day life that show just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. He has broken his word and commitment (if he is off) because he signed a three year deal. It looks like it just so happens there was a mechanism there to allow to go back on his word and commitment.

For Gods sake all I said was I doubted it would take long to get resolved given it is just a coach resigning and getting a new job.

Coaches leave clubs in sport all the time without any long drawn out legal process. It's rare that happens at all even in soccer with its mega-bucks. They resign and get a new job. It's pretty simple.

If Maguire is to leave at the end of the season then I just hope we get it all out in the open so we can concentrate on the job in hand. I really hope it isn't true but can't see it not being and I think he will be off at the end of this season. That is fine aslong we don't bring problems upon ourselves by leaving everyone in the dark.

Get it out in the open, let the players and fans get their heads around it and lets kick on to some more silverware both whilst Maguire is here and after he's gone under Shaun Wanes leadership.

The culture that has been bread under Maguire is one of no excuses and that if one man exits the team via injury or other means that just means an opportunity for somebody else. The same can be said of the coaching role in itself. If one man in Maguire leaves then that becomes Shaun Wanes opportunity and i'd back him 100% to continue the great work that has been started.

One thing is for sure we can't all start getting all 'doom and gloom' over this. It's not great news if confirmed but it's far from being the end of the world.
