it has never worked

spot on!

As a wire fan, no offence but if wane got the job i can't see him carrying on maguire's work to the same degree. Personally, if edwards isn't coming home, then i think lam with wane assistant a bit longer is the way to go.

No to Lam ta

Yep, i agree. Maybe a more experienced coach from Aus just to build on the new ideas brought in by MM. Then in 2-3 years Wane may get top job.

Yeah same for me!

Ian Lenagans recruitment since taking over at Wigan has been almost perfect if not perfect to date.

I always felt that under Maurice Lindsey and the formation of Superleague that we were very much out of touch with what was happening in the NRL in relation to recruitment - Lindsey would always go for big names but they didn't always prove to be the right choice for Wigan, im not convinced that all of his coaching options were the best either although many would argue that he didnt get them long enough or the freedom to sign the players that they wanted.

When we were linked with Micheal Maguire few in this country knew who he was, the same could be said about Bitcon yet both have proved to be quality accusitions to Wigan - some credit must go to Tony Rae for that and ive no doubt he will be consulted again with regard to the availability of coaches in the NRL - not just for next season but in the years ahead (even if Wane is given the job).

I just hope that whoever is given the job is given it on the basis of not the ability to maintain our current standards but who can improve the team further.

It should be wanes. If waney feels he is ready give it to him. If not get searching Aus again. The only other coach I would consider is Nathan Brown.

Ian Millward.


nah Shaun Edwards!!!

I hope you go with Wane or Edwards.

That's the way it should be for me.

Wane has earned his chance to step up IMO.

I think I'm hoping it for very different reasons to you!

The more I think about it, the more I think it might be too soon for Waney and he needs to serve another few years as a no.2 with another NRL coach in the way Madge did before he stepped up at Wigan.

Basically I think we should move heaven and earth to get Tim Sheens in as the next coach. He's off contract at the end of the season with Wests. We need to move fast to secure a top quality replacement as I expect the Whinos and Widnes to start throwing big money about to get a top coach for 2012.
