If you think comparing Ryan Atkins stats with George Carmonts disproves this then you are very, very mistaken!

Tommy to Souths more or less a done deal.

Somehow I think your name is going to turn out to be rather ironic!

Has anyone ever thought that wane may be going to souths with madge as his right hand man and hence why we have no announcement on the new coach.

The other major concern is if madge takes bitcon as the new conditioner to souths

Another major concern is that Madge will be taking Mighty Max, the ball boys and East Stand, Row M, seat 147-149 too.

To be perfectly honest, that's kinda what im hoping WILL happen. I like Wane, and undoubtedly he will be a Wigan coach one day soon, but he's still only had 2 years around first team coaching.

Going to Aus will give him more experience, as well as improving him as a coach with the newer techniques, and can come back to Wigan a better coach than he is now.

I'd been thinking the same but two years is a long time in sport and I'm not sure if SW would want to wait around for that. From the clubs point of view they'd effectively be giving a guaranteed job to him in 2 years time. Not very motivating for whoever comes in. I would like to see John Winder involved because he's a good coach with good credentials and I'm told Madge thinks very highly of him.

How much experience do people think Waney needs? Is two years not long enough? How much more can he possibly learn from being an assistant?
