Much of the cutting edge stuff Madge has done includes going down 2 places like Wasps and talking with Edwards.

Although I want Wane to succeed Madge, as I think it's Wane's time and he's earned it Edwards is a viable option.

Let's not put our head in the sand RU is a progressional sport, with big money involved and guys like Edwards will be just as cutting edge as their RL counterparts when it comes to training, fitness & match prep the other parts such as RL tactics will come natural to Edwards as well.

I don't pretend to have professional coaching insights, but after appointing one of the best young coaches at Melbourne, and seeing us reap the rich (some would say inevitable) rewards, I would be very disappointed indeed with IL if he then replaced him with the head coach of Saracens RU. Not unless Farrell was prepared to come to Wigan as an assistant for a period first.

I don't care what anyone says, RL and RU - whether they're both professional or not - are significantly different games in many areas. I'd call it blind optimism to expect a coach from another sport to take over from Madge and continue with the same degree of success.

With regard to Edwards, I'd be less nervous, given that he seems to have a track record of coaching achievement which is very widely respected. But I too think the job should go to Shaun Wane. He's earned it more than anyone else.

From a outside point of view, i agree.

Both faz and edwards have been out of league now for a long time. I wouldn't be happy with any of them two if i was a wigan fan.

I wouldn't be happy with Faz but I'd be optimistic of our chances with Edwards.

But as you said it's Wane's job.

The real question is who would be his number 2??

I would be more concerned if clubs in the NRL werent after him to be honest.

I'll be happy if Maguire serves his full 3 year deal and suprised if he does more but the clubs in great shape now and we all know who'll get the job next. It will eventually go to Shaun Wane and as Priestman85 says the only real question is who Wane's assistant would be.

My money would be on Rads and i'd be confident of that partnership keeping up the good work thats been started.

This.

to replace Craig Bellamy who will replace Ivan Henjak at the Broncos. Rumour has it Henjak will be reviewed after 10 weeks. Lets hope for Wigan it is just a rumour. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 1a4ac.html So would he go? And if he did would it make a big difference to Wigans aspirations of continuing their recent success?

already a thread on this. Most people tend to agree that Maguire seems to be the kind of bloke that would honour his 3 year contract, and when it does end we wont be any worse off with Wane in charge.

Lets put some facts into that fake title

Ah ok, apologies I didn't see it.

If Wigan win the WCC at a canter as most people expect them to then it could be a double edged sword.

Hey if you can fit all that into the Subject box you are better than I am

Who expects us to win at a canter?

No you stated it as fact , not even a question mark or rumour in the title

Who are these most people?
Most people I know don't expect them to win in a canter at all, in fact most people I know think it will be a tight game which could go either way.
