Not too sure what Wane's role actually is. Sounds like he's essentially a supervisor. I imagine a priority when planning this would be to establish firm boundaries.

Did he not get all of that under Wane the first time? Or when he was the best head of youth we've ever had?

It’s not who I would have chosen without a doubt but I am quietly optimistic this new coaching set up might work out.

I don’t buy into the ‘big name’ coach to be honest. It doesn’t always work out for the best for either party, so with that Peet being someone some Batley fan turns round and says “who?” about is an irrelevance.

100% support from me going in to 2022. I like what Peet has to say and the way he presented himself. Let’s see what 2022 brings.

Isn't that just what always happens with assistant coaches? I can't remember ever hearing of a side bringing in a new coach when the current one has been temporarily unavailable. In fact has Peet not coached us at some point when either Lam or Wane has been ill?

Pretty much my thoughts.

Would I have loved Craig Bellamy or Ivan Cleary? Of course I would, but I can see why the club have chosen him when you consider his CV.

Briers has worked with him before (has he chosen his own staff??????) so they will know how one another works, as will SOL and from what I have heard about Peet from numerous people there will be nobody getting an easy ride.

Let's give the guy a chance before we slag him (and of course the club) off shall we? Let's try something new for a change.

So he was ready three years ago then? Why didn't he get the gig when Wane left? As I have to keep saying, I believe it's time for someone from outside the club to come in and shake things up - we look stale as a club and promoting from within doesn't look the right appointment given where we are.

I'm assuming that a club like Melbourne would have more than one assistant, but it was Maguire who took over.

Has anyone seen what length contract Peet has been given? Not seen any information myself.

3 years according to the WEP.

Spot on.

Plus the scenes when Lee Briers lifts the SL trophy with Wigan against Wire will be biblical.

Was he even at the club then?

Sounds very much like a "but but but but but" approach.

Who would you have appointed that would "shake things up" and what makes you think Peet won't now he has the main job?

He signed for Sale in August 2018 and left when Wane did I believe. They clearly wanted Shaun Edwards above anyone and I do wonder had they known how things would pan out, if they’d have just given Peet the job then. We’ll never know now and that will sadly mean I’ll wake up in cold sweats for many months now, after having this recurring nightmare of Adrian Lam coming out after games we’d scored 6 points in saying we’d played well and how we thrown more shape than anyone at teams.

The new coaching set up tells you everything you need to know about Adrian Lam.

It’s a line up to re-instate a winning culture and a no nonsense approach to getting the job done.

I think the addition of Briers is a smart one, he himself can learn a lot from the culture that Peet brings…supported by Wane.

Only one thing missing…..a new half back that can ignite our attacking play that quite frankly has been non existent for far too long.

A few years ago I was sat just in front of Lee Briers at a Wigan v Wire academy game at Orrell. Briers was the Wire academy coach at the time. Wigan were winning quite comfortably and Wire scored a try. As the goalkick was being taken Briers was barking orders down the radio to his on pitch assistant.

It went something like this. "Play one, alpha, play two prop carry the ball to right hand post. Play three wide ball out to the left. Play four chip kick for winger, tell centre to be up in support"
And that's exactly what happened Wire went the length of the field and scored a superb try.

I turned around and said "Great call that Lee" He laughed and said "it is when it works".

I know 8 letters in total is a bugger isn't it
