Lets not forget that Madge has cheated his way to his vicories and Smith encourages open flowing beautiful rugby

I'd imagine centralparkforever, sorry warrior1973 is pretty Despondent that the thread seems to be going along sensible lines so far. Keep it up everyone.

I see what you did there

To be fair. England did win their first series in a long time when he was coach. Although we were shocking in the world cup I'd have him back as England coach tomorrow.

both competely different styles of coach. i wish we could keep Madge as coach for the next 10 years b ut id be equally as happy with Smith as coach

its 50/50 for me

both do an excellent job and have brought a much needed boost to our competition

Well that's it then. Wigan fans think it's Maguire, Wire fans think it's Smith, but we're all agreed they are the two best coaches in SL. What a shocker, Wigan and Wire fans agree on something.

when smith came to wire we were dead last you have to put that into considerdartion he won the cup in his first season which was our first for over 30 years took us from 10th to 3rd and a cup in his second now he has finished 1st when maguire came wigan were finishing around 4th anyway but you cant call between the two like the roby vs monaghan debate we will never get the answer

Madge brought a team that was winning nothing to win some of the gretaest titles and that was with a team that had won nothing for the past 'few' years, there were no new signings so it obviously shows madge can bring the best out of any player.

So looking forward to next season -

Tony Smith v Shaun Wane (If he is promoted up to head coach)

Who wins that one ?

Pretty stupid thread. Both brilliant coaches and the best two in SL by a mile. Obviously Wiganers will say Madge and Wire will say Smith.

On another note, it's Maguire not McGuire. If you can't spell it at least say Madge

well how the f*ck can anybody answer that?

i think vadge has more of a killer instinct, perhaps something that may well have benifited the setup at england. smith is a man manager and gets the best out of his team in other ways. i think this is refelected in the two teams style of play.
both best in SL by a mile, but totally different in style and approach. imagine the team performance if you could create some freaky hybrid coach?
