Probably going to get shot down for this, but i'm still unsure why everyone is wanting Hanley to be the possible next coach of Wigan.
Ten years ago he coached Saints to the GF win but hasn't really coached at the top level of the domestic game since. How long was he at Saints? Just over a year? He then lasted a month or two at Castleford a few years ago and although he did a very good job at Doncaster last season, this was at NL2 level.
All in all less than three years coaching exprience in the last 10 years.
Don't get me wrong, Hanley is one of my all time favourite players and one of the best to ever play the game....but coaching wise, i'm personally still very unsure of his credentials.
