Yeah apparently he is bringing a magic wand with him that will make the pack bigger, turn Riddell into a good hooker and make Timmy and Tommy the world class half back partnership some ill-informed thought they would be.

Unfortunately I think Nobby's days are numbered and if they are no one should ever forget the work he has done in turning this club around and putting it back on the right track.

That being said I don't think Hanley is the man to turn it around. I think the last thing we need is a coach who is only concerned about his own ego.

Who to replace Nobby and take us to the next level....well that's the $1m question?

Preferably Edwards but highly unlikely.

I'm left at the point now were if Noble can't get us to win trophies can we rely on anyone with a proven track record given Noble has seemingly failed and he has one of the best track records anyone has ever seen?

is this actually true though ?

Paul Cullen. You heard it here first.

FFS please no, would rather keep Nobby

If that's the case I don't think I can go any more

He would rather not draw breath than coach us. The man hates us.

For me the feelings mutual. So that's great news

Hands up, I wasn't there tonight, and I wasn't at Hull. I'm as stunned as anyone at the start we've made but is sacking Noble and replacing him with god know's who the answer... really?! Sounds to me like certain players need to pull their digits out of their rear ends.

the buck stops with the coach/manager every time

im so sad to say this , but going to the game tonight was hard work , if i didnt have aseason ticket i would not have payed to watch them , does that make me a bad fan ? no .....

wigan is in my blood , im wigan through and through , but its just not enjoyable anymore

i would rather take my chance with a new coach than sit through this all year

Yeah but thats not Hanley is it. If he was concerned about his own ego he wouldn't have gone down scrapping to Doncaster.

He won the Grand Final with Saints and he did a great job with Doncaster, the man is a pure winner and commands respect wherever he goes. I hope he doesn't go to Wigan because I want him to go to Warrington but he would be a fantastic choice as coach.

There's a lot of crap talked about Hanley being ego-driven which I just don't se, he's one of the most unselfish and best mannered people in the game.

Would IL stump up the cash for Hanley.

When you have that answer, realise this discussion is over.

Who knows one day Wigan might be able to match the financial resources of Doncaster.

Shaun McRae is on his way.

To where? Big Al's takeaway? The sky studio for the game tomorrow? But he sure as hell isn't coming here.

Just thinking that then.
