I’d much rather the club went in a completely new direction. Someone like Maguire or Holbrook who can come in with fresh ideas, supported by a change in recruitment plans. Whoever comes in needs support to bring in some experienced, robust forwards as a start. We over rely on the young lads who are all good players but shouldn’t have to carry the fight without experience and support around them. I’d love to see John Morris come in. He was doing a good job with Cronulla and I was shocked he was sacked.

Does this suggest someone with little experience will get the head coach gig?

Assuming Wane is the director of rugby.

The way it’s going, it’ll be Matty Peet!

Problem with this is we’ll be seeing Peet and Lockers as 1&2 next year. With the amount of experience we’re losing on the field to go with two coaches who’ve never had a head coach role would be suicidal imo

See how it plays out I suppose. At least it looks like Lams days are up at the end of the season. Maybe he can shock us with a Grand Final win before he leaves but I’d be very surprised if it were the case. It’s a demanding club and a demanding group of supporters but it hasn’t worked out overall.

I’m half and half.

If you listen to his podcasts from when he was assistant to Mags he said he can’t be anything but #1. He has to make the decisions. From what I’ve read he won’t be Head Coach, therefore won’t make decisions. It worries me in that has his mindset changed with regards to that? And is it the right role for him?

The other half of me says absolutely go for it. Get him back. He might actually show Lam how to coach a team. I have far more confidence that with Wane on board we’ll be back to signing players we need and that are of the right quality and that he’ll have them fired up ready to win.

This doesnt half put a spanner in the works with regards to GW. He may not have fancied Wigan under Lam but a reunion with Wane? That might sway him.

Even the world’s greatest bricklayer can’t build you a wall if you don’t give him the bricks to do it with. I think Lam or any other coach would really struggle to win a GF with this group of players. You could bring in Trent Robinson but without a real recruitment drive, I still think we’d struggle with the players we have.

I’m torn on that tbh. I think a top coach figures out a way of getting a back line including French, Hardaker and Hastings playing some fantastic rugby at the very least. You do need a front row to lay a platform but even when they were doing that in the last third of last season, the rugby has always been a grind. A coach has to improve players and he just hasn’t been able to do it.

He’s not had a squad that could dominate the league but he’s had enough to have won something. Had Wane had the exact same set of players this past two and a half years, he’d have won something IMO.

So no team with poor players have ever won anything, or even punched above their weight?
