As an aside from Wane going? Who would you like to replace him?

Re: Who now? : Mon May 21, 2018 11:59 am  

Lam, to work with Winder, if he is staying. What will actually happen, obviously, is anybodies guess, but I would be surprised if something is not already in place.

Few names to consider

John Winder - Continuity reasons only

Wayne Bennett - Could be available if Broncos decide to get Craig Bellamy for 2019

2020 - Edwards with Sol / TL coaching staff

Would love Trent Barrett he could do wonders with Williams.

I don't think they have a replacement lined up. Wigan coach is a plum job, now that it's out there they will see who approaches them IMO. No need to rush or panic and I'm sure IL and KR won't do so.

Farrell or Edwards for me.

Winder and we riot.

We didn't panic with Madge, so I'm hoping for a similar process now.

The thing about Wanes resignation is, this will now spur half of the SL coaches to really knuckle in and crack on and put themselves in the shop window.

I could imagine the likes of Chris Chester being in the mix, while Denis Betts and perhaps even the likes of Powell and McDermott are licking their lips right now. not that i'd wish to have any of those at the helm to be honest.

but lets be realistic, there is no way this is an out of the blue thing as the BBC report suggest. something must already be sorted, both for Wane and whoever is replacing him. no wonder we have had so much back and forth with Gildart, Sam announcing he was off and even more worryingly the lack of news on Bateman.

Re: Who now? : Mon May 21, 2018 12:45 pm  

I'll have a little guess that IL will have known about this for a decent amount of time and all due diligence will have been done & his predecessor lined up and sorted way before this was released.

Same as those saying that ZAK Hardaker signed for Wane and now he's leaving - It will have been sorted way before.

Re: Who now? : Mon May 21, 2018 12:49 pm  

I disagree entirely with the suggestion we have someone lined up. This smacks of a sudden departure rather than a developed one.

There will be no shortage of candidates but this job has Shaun Edwards written all over it.
