| Quote ="Alex BP'"Alot of people's decision to choose Wane as Noble's successor is mainly due to the fact he's an ex-Wigan player and that he happens to be a well respected Wiganer who happens to be a coach at the club, that's it. Is that really a good enough excuse to employ him as first team coach?'"
IMO till the end of the season it’s good enough for me.
We need a top class Aussie coach who can come over with a new attitude, practices and breathe a new lease of life into a team that is low on confidence and form.
However no Aussie coach will come over mid way through the season. It’s unfeasible to think a coach from Australia will be able to get over here and do a proper job for the rest of the season due to the logistics of moving your whole life to the other side of the world.
So what do we do till then? There are zero signs of a recovery at this moment in time and history shows Wigan under BN’s leadership are unable to string together a consistent run of victories.
Hopefully Wayne can come in and with him being a respected ex player he can rub some of his professionalism off onto the players. Even if we get the team playing with pride it will stand us in good stead for next season and hopefully life under a new coach.
To continue down the road we have been doing is not an option imo. |

A new presence with fresh ideas is what this club needs with some new backroom staff.
This club is stuck in a rut. |

Stephen Kearney hits every single one of those points imo.
Head coach at NZ,
Learnt from the best in Bellamy and Bennett but is still an assistant at Melbourne,
He knows Tommy from his time at NZ so will have a go to guy straight away. |

Agreed, I keep coming back to Lam for some reason, not sure he would apply but would certainly sort out the attack. |

| Quote ="Tricky Dicky"Bingo
That is exactly what i was hinting at. Shaun would put the W back in Wigan.
His sides wouldnt lack passion or aggression.'"
[iYour reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion; that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.[/i Kahil Gibran |

Raper, with Lam as assistant. That would do it.  |

| Quote ="Cruncher"The only problem with the caretaker coach scenario is that, if Wigan go out and lure a quality NRL coach at the end of the year, what happens to Shaun? If he's done a decent job, he'll feel that he's been badly done to and will probably leave the club.
On the other hand, Wigan might decide not to chase a decent Aussie, and give the job to Shaun full-time, and if - a la James Lowe - he then cocks it up, we're back at square one.
I don't personally like having caretaker coaches, though I'd acknowledge it's getting to the stage where we need to do something.'"

what is Wane doing at the club now? if he is that good, why is he not having a positive impact on the players - if he is a tactical and motivational genius, that would surely shine through to the team, even with him only being the assistant?

He's not the assistant. He's just the reserve team coach. |
