I’ve not been his biggest fan particularly in the last 2 years but you can never doubt his passion for Wigan.

This year however you have to give him bags of credit for the turnaround he has performed with the team after it looked like our season was going to drift away into mediocrity.

Whilst we are not the prettiest to watch his passion combined with his defensive discipline has created a winning culture within the group again at the right time of the year, so this accolade and a GF win would be a fitting way or him to bow out.

If defended Wane time and time again. I also beleive we are in need of a change so him leaving is the right decision all round. Lam & Edwards have a lot to live up to.

I’d echo the others in saying his achievements over the last 7 years have been fantastic. The number of players Wane (and the rest of the coaching team) have brought through is amazing, I doubt it will ever be surpassed by any other club. In years to come I think his era will be remembered very fondly.

I know some will not agree but to will the title two years ago and avoid a relegation battle last year were both superb (though not very pretty) efforts. Last year particularly, when you compare us to other clubs who have suffered a similar number of injuries, all thinks considered we did pretty well.

Good luck in the future Shaun.

Did anybody else catch the 30 min interview on sky sports yesterday? I can understand and relate to a lot of things what have happened to him in his life and I'm still emotional now thinking about it. Good luck to you Shaun and thank you for all the great memories.

Yet again, well done Shaun. Thanks for all your hard work, dedication and trophies over the years. Possibly most of all for giving youth a chance. Best wishes in your next venture mate. Legend.

As a Warrington supporter just would say how much I respect what he has achieved, particularly this season. When he announced he was leaving I remember seeing a lot of people - even here - saying he should go at once. A measure of the man that he did not switch off, and as they said on the Sky interview, for a Super League coach to leave on his own timetable is very rare. Pi**ed us all of at times, as all opposition coaches do, but taking a step back, so impressive.

Been a heavy critic of his since around 2 years ago. The product we’ve been paying to watch has been drab, usually from February to September, at least.
However I cannot argue with Wanes record of achieving what it ultimately the aim - silverware.

Saturday was a real bitter sweet moment for me.
I believe we are due the change which is coming but it doesn’t half scare you the move away from a successful formula.
Only time will tell for the next few years.

For now though, thank you Waney. You’ve been a roaring success when we look back.

That’s my overall feeling on the situation. When this Wigan team plays at its best it is brutal and it gets results. Every team plays conservatively in the big games and then struggle to out do the experienced teams who have been doing it for years so that plays it to our hands. Wanes sides won’t have you jumping out your seat every five minutes but I’ve been totally entertained these past few weeks.

I smile at Saints fans saying they wouldn’t pay to watch the likes of Wigan and Warrington yet when it came to their biggest game of the year they played a more conservative brand of rugby then either would ever dream of. Going for drop goals at 2-2 and penalties at 9-6 was pathetic!!
