Quote: inside_man "No, not quite the same Dave. It would only be the same if Wigan had another assistant alongside Harris which they'd chosen, so Harris was a "bonus". Alternatively if the RFL gave us Thomas and said "YOU HAVE TO PLAY HIM EVERY WEEK", then it might be similar. '"


What on earth are you on about? If it is ridiculous to suggest Wigan took on Harris because the RFL wanted them to then it is ridiculous that Wigan will take on Thomas for the same reasons but that is what was being assumed re Thomas. It's got nothing to with how often Thomas plays. It's about if Wigan are doing some strange deal with the RFL or not over a Welsh connection and taking on Harris and Thomas for that reason.

Quote: inside_man "As it is, even if the RFL offered to pay Harris' wage, and offered him to Wigan, Wigan could quite easily say no. Fact is they didn't. So which is more likely, Wane ok'd the appointment and Harris was the best candidate, or the RFL forced him on Wigan and said he has to be your assistant or else....'"


They could say no to Thomas as well if that were on the table so what is your point? I guess we will see one way or the other when he gets back from the RU world cup.

But Thomas is a bonus, he isn't integral to the running of the team (like an assistant would be). Thomas would be free, wouldn't count on the cap, and isn't that bad a player. Wigan would get a benefit (aside from the financial) to taking on Thomas. That's not the same situation with Harris.

Its different offering a player to a club who already has 25 players in their squad for free as opposed to forcing a club to have an assistant where they currently have 0.

We HAVE to use Harris (in this scenario), we don't HAVE to use Thomas. Thats why its different.

Just noticed this interview with Wane on the Wigan site.

www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... &type=news

Some good stuff in it. Particularly about the juniors, and how Shaun wants to keep a big involvement with them personally.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.

L.Daley 2005:



Good luck to Wane,served his apprentrsgip and deserves his chance but so did Agar who worked under Kear and Sharp( we Won the cup with Kear and went to a GF with Sharp) and we have had 4 yrs of dross with him in charge and took the club backwards at a alarmingg rate...2 bottom 3 finishes,6th and 8th in his tenure as well has having 3 assistants as well......NO2's dont always make great coaches.

True but almost every coach was a number 2 at some point.

Wane to Maguire - Maguire to Bellamy - Bellamy to Wayne Bennett

I agree mate and some take to it naturally....just saying that we got a total numpty.Mind you,our new coach is a no2 as well so we are still in same boat.

As a outsider looking in,i think you have squad trouble as well...You never replaced Gleeson,Tomkins isnt a centre and looks to be off....Charnley is still unproven and needs a good centre with him.Deacon too old and Leuluai best position is hooker imo so that leves you needing a 6 0r 7 to go with Finch and another Hooker as i dont rate Mcliorum...you struggle when he is on.Your pack looks ok but Hock out for the 1st 3 weeks?

Mate the last 3 weeks didnt come at all twice with Agar ane we didnt get into week 2 the other 2 times....Compare that to Kear and sharpe and we did pretty well in the play-offs and even got to GF in 2006

Agar is just a freak exception to the rule imo. There cant be that many people around who could do so sh*t imo.

I expect Hull to improve dramatically next season just by getting rid of him icon_lol.gif
