McNamara has picked Mossop, McIlorum and Farrell, all questionable choices, certainly nowhere near the international class of Tomkins, O'L and Charnley. The fact that Wigan did the double with, IMO, a squad lacking the depth of quality of your competitors has to be down to coaching, you are the only team who seems able to consistently attack with pace & accuracy, where everyone recognises the pattern but always struggles to contain it. Whether the attack is down to Wane or Harris, I don't know. Looking at Wales performances I would have to say it must be Wane. I don't think we can sustain a full time top quality coach so no complaints from me if Wane was involved part time. However if he picked Goulding at centre, with some of the competition, I would change my opinion immediately. A decent SL centre but has less qualifications than the original 3 who I questioned for international selection.

Thought Edwards was asked about the job last time around? He told them his terms and that was the end of that. They then appointed McNamara.
That was a rumour around at the time.

Like a soccer club talking to Pep Guardiola and then appointing Ian Holloway!

Why? He'd just interfere IMO.

In fact interference is why I can never see Wane in the job. If he didn't pick Sir Kev the RFL would want to know why. Once Sinfield retires there will surely be another golden boy from Leeds who has to be picked!

I doubt Wane would stand for it.

Think SE has spent quite a bit of time in OZ with Wayne Bennett. Also still has brilliant natural understanding of the game. Couldn't see anyone dare sneaking out for a crafty pint if SE was in charge.

I think any player who didn't go along with Gizmo's rules would be out of the Intl squad immediately with no possibility of a return, ever!
All this lot who've been ill disciplined may well think there's a way back with a new coach and they could be right.

You mean like Hardaker, Briscoe, Watkins and Hall? Or maybe another JP?
