It would depend how he did?

About 3 weeks before the Grand Final a lot of people on here were saying Wane was rubbish, one dimensional and had no Plan B, just like everyone was slagging off McBanana before today and had it not been for a George Burgess penalty giving the Kiwis a last chance, we would be in the World Cup final and he would have been hailed as a hero.

I think McNamara is fine to stay as England coach tbh. But if he does leave and the vacancy is open I still say its Wane at the top of the list for me. I don't have any divided loyalties over Wane with Wigan so I can say honestly I would be happy with his appointment to the England job as I've been very impressed. We produce few enough good coaches in England so we should get behind Wane.

Several were saying this, but they had been saying it all season, and just shouted down all who disagreed. As well you know, you e stirring bugger...

Haha ooops, the no.9 was an accident but Ryan Hall wasn't that was deliberate, He is losing pace fast and in 5 years will be burned out.

A loud minority have been questioning everything Wane did since his appointment as part of an ongoing 'we are dissatisfied with Wigan' campaign, which mainly existed on the other website. Since the double was done, those responsible - on both this site and that one - have been noticeable for either their absence or their amazing change of tone. But as soon as something 'goes wrong' next season - we either lose a key match, or a players gets disciplined for unacceptable behaviour - it will all start again.

Don't forget, an awful lot of us used to be called 'happy clappers'.

I'm going to bookmark your post, because we all know they will come out of the woodwork at the first signs of anything going wrong. I wonder who the 2014 scapegoat will be?

If we Huddersfield beat us in game 1 and Bowen doesn't score it'll be him. Otherwise I can see Pettybourne copping plenty stick

I had a wobbler against Wane during that purple patch coming to the back end of the season but mainly because i thought we had run out of steam like season before, but he put every doubter in their place.

Gelling without a doubt

Same here. Totally understandable.

But there were others for whom he could do no right.

If McNamara goes which hopefully he will then the England coaching job may well go part time. If so then Wane, McDermott and Anderson will probably be considered.
If it remains full time Shaun Wane will not leave Wigan for that job, no chance.

Would Shaun Edwards not be a great choice?
He ticks all the boxes for me, especially as he has no club connections, for now

Shaun Edwards would be a superb choice.
