I agree. Maguire was great at the time and was just what we needed.
We do need fresh blood soon and maybe dip back into the NRL market again!

There's an assistant coach at Newcastle who people are raving about and he was rumoured to be the favourite for the Huddersfield job but surprisingly Stone took that on.

IIRC his names Griffin. He would seem the sort of guy the club may go for if they decide the times right for a change.

Anthony Griffin was the incumbent Brisbane Broncos coach when he was shafted by the club when they brought Wayne Bennett back to the club

Not sure if that's the same bloke. This guy was being raved about by Phil Clarke in a piece on the Sky Website. They had him responsible for producing a number of promising players through the Knights u20's team.

Garth Brennan, assistant at Penrith (to Anthony Griffin).

It's nice to speculate but let's be honest. Wane aint going anywhere

Also, why are we not allowed banter on Cherry and White anymore? Every slightly anti-Wigan post get's deleted. It's getting boring but the mods allow to$$er posts from Pacific etc. You wonder why people are going to wiganwarriorsfans. That's where i am headed. Over and out.

Well done mods

That's the man. I did have Penrith popping in my head but couldn't quite remember the details of Clarkes article.

If Wigan ever did decide to go in a different direction I'd expect he'd be the type of coach they'd look at. His rep seams similar to that which Maguire had all those years back.

Oh it is. I can't remember the last time anyone was banned over there though certain posters get told off on a regular basis!

Surely if the opportunity to sign a recent NRL GF winning coach was presented we'd have to seriously consider making an appointment.
I think it would be an oversight to think Madge hasn't developed his coaching further since his stint in the NRL.
I'm also sure he'd still have lots to offer our club, many of which would be once again refreshing and new.

He and Souths are going through a bad time currently, but that suddenly doesn't make him a bad coach.
If I remember rightly Wayne Bennett was having a bad time at Newcastle Knights, Broncos still appointed him knowing he's not suddenly lost it.

If available; has to be considered.
