Worst kept secret in Rugby League, but a bold decision.
Well done !

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"On sportinglife it says "Wigan needed special dispensation from the Rugby Football League to employ Maguire, who was not at today's press conference at the DW Stadium but will join the club next month."
Any idea what the dispensation was for?'"
It will be because he does not have experience as a first team head coach or as an international coach so requires dispensation to take a head coach position from the RFL under their own rules. |

What we will get though is the best out of our players, surely that is the aim with no new signings? |

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"Could well be right fella, Wane has certainly done a good job with the young players and Maguire has been successful and worked under a top coach at Melbourne.
But then again, Maguire won't have Inglis/Slater/Smith etc at Wigan and will be under a lot of pressure as a head coach.
Interesting times - looks like there could be 4 or 5 genuinely strong sides next year in Saints/Leeds/Wigan/Wire/Hull.'"
Weve got the next Slater, Inglis and Smith waiting in our reserves  |

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"Ah, OK. Didn't know that was the case.

Im sure those rules were put in place, seems bizzare really because in theory it means the Raper's & Millwards wouldn't get a gig over here again.
But if the RFL will do dispensation, whats the point in the rule.
Id be keen to know what the dispensation was given for.

Same story on Sporting Life, just running the PA story it would seem. Hopefully the club will have some quotes from MM, or we will need to wait for them to filter through from Aus. |

There aren't many world class players in SL full stop. People need a reality check here. Yes the current Wigan side is way off the legendary sides of the early 90s but so is every other team in SL. In fact SL has gone backwards in the last few years.
We have some young players with the potential to be truly world class however and I would expect that a coach with Maguire's reputation will develop them.
The current Wigan side has been shockingly inconsistent but has proved that it is close to Leeds and Saints already. If all he does is make us more consistent and raise Wigan's questionable standards of fitness to something close to Melbourne's then that should be enough to allow the current side to beat Saints and Leeds more often that not. |

It could also be said that losses against
Cas
Wakey
Celtic
Hudds x 2
Warrington
Hull KR
have prevented us from being a top team. You cannot have a list of losses like that all season and expect to win things. Our run to the challenge cup semi was pretty easy by many standards and previous years. |

It's not a case of that at all.
We’ve just made a massive coup in getting him as our coach for next season. Maguire was being linked with some of the top jobs in the NRL as well as being endorsed by some of its most respected coaches and all you are bothered about is the website not being updated?? |
