We've had years of coaches telling us that success would come once they had "their team"
My argument is that MM hardly signed anyone for you and yet turned you into champions.

I could only remember them. There was another Melbourne player.
The point which you clearly are deliberately avoiding is Maguire had a far far far better squad.
Stick with Wane he's building a seriously good team out of your academy. Which he's had a lot of input in.
You've lost 2 games grow up all of you. Before that you didn't concede a point in 160 mins.

| I'm not ready to join the Wane out brigade yet - we've played some of our best rugby in a long time under his coaching. However he needs to keep his mouth firmly shut and stop giving the opposition team talk for them. He's also got three games to sort out the appalling away performances that are going to kill the season unless something changes. Three poor defeats at Newcastle v Leeds, at Huddersfield and Stains and his position will be untenable.

Lima, Hoffman and Finch joined after Maguire won his only GF with us.

Did MM inherit a great team at Souths as well then?
Bit of a coincidence he's gone back to the NRL and done exactly what he did here.

| Quote Burtons Forearm="Burtons Forearm"Maguire brought half the Melbourne team with him. Didn't have a squad of academy players.
Oh and didn't he leave the ´ biggest´ club in rugby for bigger and better things?
I should study more. Your not behind wire in grand final wins. Have they won more challenge cups in the modern era than Wigan?
6-3 would be........double the amount ie twice as many, twice as far....way ahead.'"
Wrong again.
Madge took over a team that finished 6th the season before and took them to the title with only one addition in Paul Deacon.
Challenge Cup wins is 3 each with us and Wire. So will you admit we are way ahead of them them?
Also apart from you who mentioned the biggest club in the world? I actually said we aren't the best side in SL
You seem to either not know what you talking about, love clutching at straws or you're a bad troll.

It was a long shot you'd win anything this season with your squad compared to leeds saints and Catalan and given their age.
Judge them next season. They'll start to kick on then.
A new coach would destroy these kids and bring in a lot of dross players.
You have Tomkins to add next year. He seems happy playing for Wane.

Spot on.
I'm a SW fan but his pre match interviews are tedious, repetitive and are not doing SW or the team any favours.
He may have lost the players if he has then his time will be limited.
Our game plan demands good centre play but at the moment we have none therefore, our attack is stop start and our passing abysmal.
I hope he can turn it around but this needs more than wingers working hard and the team "playing tough" this needs the team and playing style stripping down to basics and building back up again.
Saints got battered there last year and turned it around hopefully we can repeat that but personally I doubt it. Hope I wrong

All three it appears. Thanks for the insight. You didn't mention that 6 is twice as many as 3 though. Was I correct on that point?
Only joined the debate as I think you need a bit of perspective 're your current coach.
Some of you do. You clearly don't.
Trolls don't praise opposition teams. As I keep repeating look around the league. You have a generation much like Leeds did 10 years ago.

Pretty much what I said here
Quote Burtons Forearm="MattyB"With the players we have I don't think we're a million miles away from having a successful team. We have a young team that will no doubt only get better as they gain more experience.
I don't think we are good enough to win it this year( if we do it will be a shock IMO).
We have Sam Tomkins to come back next season which will give us more attacking options, I think we need a couple of old heads 2 x Craig Smith types, beef that pack up.
I'm not into this 15 Brits (of which 12 are Wiganers) first team, we need experience to help these young lads reach their potential.'"
