Astonishing comments really.

He would do better to prove himself in this competition first.

I don't think he has handled that interview well.
For the record I like Wane and want him to stay and be successful for the long term,
but as it stands he's won less than John Kear.

I don't see them as astonishing at all.... Whats wrong with ambition!! If he said his ambition was to coach a championship side i would be "Astonished"..

For goodness sake!

For the record, a coach in another sport has just been given a rather high profile job, with only this trophy as a manager.

Manager
Preston North End
Football League Second Division (1): 1999–2000

Would love a go in the NRL, loves it at Wigan and has the support of the head honcho...

Nothing to see here, but we have the SW bashing brigade out again.

Quite big words really. I'm not saying he's a bad coach, but he's got a lot to prove here yet, like winning some big games!

For the record I like Wane, but those comments......... Not his finest.

I'm of the same opinion, Wane may have learnt a lot from Maguire but I wished he paid more attention to how he handled the media.

Couldn't agree more IMO Wane seems far too arrogant to an outsider like me and until he has delivered owt worthwhile and on a regular basis too then he's closer to coaching Swinton than he is moving to the NRL unless he fancies the kit man s job

Don't really see what the problem is in what he's said tbh. He was asked if he'd like to coach in the NRL if he got the chance, why would he not want to coach there? Not just players that want to test themselves. I hope we keep him for a long time, but I'd love to see him succeed over there too!

For what it's worth Mick Potter and Trent Robinson have both been given NRL jobs and neither of them won any trophies over here. Robinson didn't even make a final! They could tell he's a quality coach though, as he's proving with the resources!

What has "ex-NRL coach" Nathan Brown won in four years in SL ?

Absolutely now't and that is why he is still employed in this hemisphere for now

Can any of you guys ever imagine an NRL club wanting to poach Wane from Wigan when he has not really done anything as of yet?

And as for Potter & Robinson?

At present Wane would only get a kit mans job in the NRL

Are you going to answer Mattys question?

No more than he's going to respond to your jaw-breaker on the Andy Powell thread.

'Down under' the main coaches have academic qualifications.

Have we not learned at Wigan with McGuire, Monie and Lowe from the past ?

You have to be akin to a chess grand master to rule in Rugby League.

Meanwhile on the Wire board he's getting praised, strange old world we live in.

Shaun Wane in looking-after-number-one shock. What's the problem here? Anyone believing that he would choose to stay in this mickey mouse comp if NRL came calling is a fool. Where is the step up from Wigan? Plus there would be an opportunity for someone to move to Sidney as his interpreter.

A dream come true for some of us !!!!!!!

Maybe a club has already asked about his availability, hence his talk about the move.

He isn't just going to come out and randomly talk about the NRL.

a little birdy has told me that waneys wife and sams mum are in nz house hunting

I didnt't see anything in thqt interview that stated he expects to be coaching or will be coaching in the NRL. To me he addressed rumours that he was leaving, whilst als o stating his desire to test himself in the NRL.

Big deal?
