I did say one day

Wouldn't be happy with Lam as Head Coach, maybe assistant yes.

Get McGuire in

Lam definetly seems to be coming back to the UK - He says he wants to in LE and in this months RL World an interview with Tansey reveals that he thinks he is leaving the Roosters to come to the UK as well.

Assistant - Yes
Coach - No

No to Fairleigh as well, IL needs to appoint a proper coach otherwise we can forget it.

I totally agree, assistant only for Lam, and as for Fairleigh If I were Lenegan I wouldn't even waste my time. I think the fans have spoken, McGuire as coach with Lammy as assistant and Noble many many miles away.

I think he would do very well in france, the squad there is almost ready made for him.

surely who ever we get as the next coach will choose his on assistant...... i wouldnt want to come to a new job and be stuck with someone i couldnt work with

i personally dont want Lam back at wigan...

I take a punt on Dave Furner, he loved his time at wigan and always spoke well and also had influence in the short time he was with us he quickly became one of the pros who everyone looked up to.

I spoke to him many times when he was in the UK and he i think his passion and desire to win would work great at Wigan.

And just recently his raiders side exposed the Broncos to there worst ever defeat.

Whether we could get him away from his own town Canberra is another question.

Not a chance imo but a nice idea.

I think most people seem agreed now that McGuire looks the best bet due to his massive rating down under and the fact that he's been working at a great club in Melbourne under a great coach. They've brought through and made full use of their juniors and thats what we need to do here.

I'd like to see McGuire appointed with a British asisstant at the side of him. I like how the relationship between Brown and Paul Anderson has worked at Huddersfield and that little bit of superleague know how from a British coach could help McGuire to settle in.

Based on what?

pretty much agree with the above

as much as i think nobles time has come , lets not hang the bloke out to dry

Based on playing signings like Tim Smith, Riddell and Roberts.

These lads aren't top of the range players who'll command the top whack money but they were all players with half decent reps in the NRL.

Leeds signed Bederus- We signed Riddell


If theres a world class coach wanting a forunte or an up and coming coach wanting half that money but who the fans would still be happy enough with i feel he'd go for the second option.

I understand what you mean, but is this down to being "cheap" or down to cap space?

Smith was different, with Barrett suddenly announcing his leaving we needed a 6 asap imo.

IMO we've got all the singings we've needed from IL bar a prop.

I'd like to see another coach in if we are keeping the same team though. I can't see us winning anything with this squad, something needs to change and it clearly isn't going to be playing staff.

Abit of both.

We didn't really need Roberts and of Lenagan had added his money to the money spent on Riddell he could have aimed higher imo.

I suppose he's trying to build a squad and thats fair enough but you do get the feeling we're a top quality player or 2 short of having a 17 good enough to compete for honours.

Another thing that worries me is Lenagan saying we don't have any room to sign anybody for next year unless we loaned 3 or 4 players out. Whats happening with Hock and Smiths money then? That surely can't have all gone on upgrading a couple of youngsters deals!

I just hope he's attempting to put abit of a smokescreen up and the prop we need so much will be delivered.
