I know a few of us on here advocated for Wane to go over to Auz next year, to form his on thoughts and ideas on the game all whilst being immersed and familiarized with the latest happenings in the NRL. Now with Madge potentially leaving a year early that plan appears unlikely to happen, unfortunately. Sadly it seems the best worked plans don't always come off.

As much as he was a success of the reserve team, would nobody be worried at all that we would be giving a guy with only 2 years involvement with a first team squad as an assistant? I'd like another Maguire-type coach to come in for a 2-3 yr spell and Wane serve his apprenticeship a bit longer.

Madge was an assistant when we signed him.

Not worried for a second.

His got that Mike Gregory spirit about him that just makes people wanna run thier blood to water for him.

He's gonna absolutely beast it as our next coach.

Shaun Wane needs to work for longer as an assistant IMO, I would bring in another up and coming Aussie over who has worked under some great coaches so Wane can learn for a bit longer.

Adrian Lam perhaps?

Yeah, but how many years had Madge been an assistant? More than 2 I'd imagine.

Quick question, Has any other British SL coach had as much experience at coaching at any level before being given a shot at the first team? I can only think of Nobby, but not sure how long he spent learning the trade before hand.

Ive not a clue, but how many British SL coaches (apart from Nobby) have been successful?

I think Wane will be a great head coach, I just wish he had a couple more years as an Asst first. Even just the 3rd year with Madge would have been enough imo.

That in my opinion is why most English coaches fail. IIRC Maguire worked his way up, didn't he do conditioning coaching as well? I think he was 5 years as an assisstant.

I believe Wane will make an outstanding Wigan coach but i would like him to do at least 2 more years as assisstant first.
