Agreed. i would want him to name his full staff and hope with his experience in the field a very good conditioner would be on his way with him, not one of his mates.

Head Coach and Backs Coach - Michael Maguire
Assistant Coach and Forwards Coach - Shaun Wane
Assistant Coach and Halves Coach - Adrian Lam
Reserves Coach - John Pendlebury
Assistant Reserves Coach - Andy Farrell
Academy Coach - Kris Radlinski
Assistant Academy Coach - Phil Bailey
Strength and Conditioning Coach - Steve Hampson

The Wigan put back into Wigan I say!

Very rarely does a new coach from abroad bring a whole back room team with him.

I'd find it even less likely that Maguire will do this as he’s never been a head coach before so won’t have his own guys to bring.

It’s far more likely that he’ll have to look at whose available at the club already and then look at CV’s of ex players like Sculthorpe & Harris as not many coaches from Aus will come over to coach the 21’s or 18’s at Wigan.

Thanks for clearing that up

Harris has only recently got a gig of his own.

Only at Wales tho isn't it? There was talk about him and Nobby linking up at Celtic next season?

If he's available I’d go for him as there are very few ex GB back players who have gone into coaching.

I know Maguire will have some good back ideas as that’s part of what he does at the Storm but I’d still like to see a dedicated coach for that area of the team.

As for any bitterness, Noble saidI’ve loved it, what an experience. I got there and the joint was a shambles. They were 12 points off the pace. We’ve built a considerable bridge. I’m really proud[/i.”

You would hope he has demanded this.

If he is happy with the credentials of older players, then Lam as 20's coach and Pongia/Hampson as conditioners would work for me, but if he sees better people out their, get them in.

Fair play to him and he is right.

Good luck Brian.

Yep. He's spot on.
Best of luck Nobby.

Agreed - my opinion of the fella, who has been a great ambassador for the club since the day he arrived, is only enhanced by his comments in the last few days. I wish him well with whatever he goes on to do.

Perhaps with the short time he'd have to make appointments we may just run with what we've got, like the playing staff, and then it can be reassessed once he's worked a season with them.

and hes right.

people calling for his head mid season were reminded (by me) of the fantastic job he did in keeping us up. He got us up to the pack, then the RFL deducted our points, ans he had to start again. The players of course played a part.
next 3 seasons he was 80 mins away from old trafford, the last 2 he was a converted try away.

we need to move on though, and nobbys doing the right thing.
the guys been a great press spokesman, keeping his thoughts to himself by answering critics in riddles (eggs etc).
he could quite easily have come out blaming the players, bt he didnt (in public anyway).

good luck nobby, you will be remembered as the guy who saved us from agent millwards plan to get us into NL1.

Yes you can, it's called Dorodango (google it)

Well I never, I stand corrected. I thought about watching some videos on the process but seeing as it's dinner time I though better of it.
