| Quote: jinkin jimmy "Agreed. Plus it would be a hoot to hear those none-too-dulcet Wigan tones on TV during interviews! He announces the team news in the lounges before each game and it can be quite entertaining, especially if you have any Aussies/Kiwis with you. They almost need a translation!
Seriously, it would be intriguing to see him given his chance. The obvious downside for him is that should it turn sour he will have lost everything - is it a risk woth taking from his point of view?'"
That would concern me. If, for instance, he was given a caretaker-coach role while we were waiting for someone else to divest himself of his current job, it could backfire badly. If Wane does a good job ... what do we do: cancel the new guy's contract and back Wane (which, if the new guy was going to be someone special, would be a mistake IMO), or push Wane back into his former role, which might pee him off and send him elsewhere. |

Surely he'd take the risk though.
As a Wiganer if you got offered the top job at the club you know that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and to turn it down would be madness imo.
I'd rather have a go and fail then sit back in 20 years and think 'what if'.

Wane has other considerations such as a business away from the sport as I understand it, so it would not be the end of the world for him personally if he did make a hash of it, not that i am saying he would by the way.

Would it not be wise to move for chris thorman can cover full back and stand off quite well.

If we could train a chimp to cover full back & stand off, i'd rather do that than take Thorman on this year's form.

Shaun Wane may be an asst to a head coach still to be named.
I could very well see him being an asst to Lam!
At the moment he's not an asst but p/t reserve coach. From that to head man of the first team is one heck of a jump for SW and a massive leap of faith by IL if it's all true.

I dont think Lam will be involved.
If Wane is to get it, we need to appoint an assistant with experience.

It would be the lowest point in the clubs history if we signed Thorman. |

Yes and instead of kits the club should sell straight jackets..because signing Thorman would send me over the edge. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

God no, Thorman is pants.
I would rather us re sign Moran than Thorman.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
