I didnt't see anything in thqt interview that stated he expects to be coaching or will be coaching in the NRL. To me he addressed rumours that he was leaving, whilst als o stating his desire to test himself in the NRL.

Big deal?

Why talk about the NRL ?

Why hasn't he took the option up of another year?

Why is his mrs down under on holiday ?

No there is nothing wrong with ambition but it helps if there is some credibility attached to it and it is not credible a coach with less than two years first team SL coaching experience is going to get a job in the NRL now or in the future as no one knows (including Wane) how his career will pan out. As such he'd have been better keeping his mouth shut as it makes him look a bit silly.

I am not sure why any British SL coach (never mind Wane) thinks they would get a job in the NRL.



A fine illustration of the fact you only get the top jobs when you have proved yourself over a number of years not 18 months.

Madge got a job in the NRL after 2 years as a SL head coach...

I really don't see where he has "Made himself look silly", i think any coach would have answered these questions in a similar way. Some may have been more reticent, but i like his honesty when asked a question. I would rather that some mealy mouthed people you see talking all around a subject, rather than being honest.

But, like SW, you are entitled to your opinion, as i am mine...

Dave, honest question:

Has there EVER been a time in your life where you have been 100% content with all things regarding Wigan RLFC? (As in, the way the club was being run and the team was performing on the pitch).

And if so, when was it?

1) He was asked a direct question.

2) He hasn't been offered one yet?

3) One of his daughters works over there?

Wane is quoted: "The challenge of going over there excites me and, who knows, one day it might come off."

The only person who could claim that makes him look silly is someone who appears to have a vested interest in making him look silly.

All he's done is state that he has an ambition to one day coach in the NRL.

Even by the normal standards of your sniping, this is juvenile stuff.

Have you read my pm ?

I think it's pretty obvious by Wane's wife being flown out by the New Zealand Warriors along with Sam's mum there's been some form of offer or inquiry for the two of them.

Have they paid for the tickets for them?

That's going of an Aussie journo who claims the New Zealand Warriors had them flown out, they are doing all they can to lure Sam by the looks of things.
