Wane knows Lenagan is a soft touch, if he wants to go he only needs to ask and IL will open the door for him. I know it hasn't happened yet and possiby won't happen at all, but is it any wonder a lot of fans are disheartened with the club at the moment. If he does go mid-season we are basically funked.

Charnley is another, we KNOW it's only a matter of time. A bit of continuity would be nice.

Brian Noble could be available if required.

I'd send my season ticket back if that happened.

Re: Matthew Elliott : Sun Apr 06, 2014 8:07 pm  

Why would Wane leave Wigan to go to NZ Warriors.

Its not exactly a 'step up' in club size is it.

Maybe Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs or someone but not NZ Warriors.

Even Wire have won more in their history than the Warriors!

You would seriously have to question IL's motives should he let SW leave mid season. Can't see it happening but then again...this is Wigan we're talking about, we've hardly managed to keep the vultures away these last few years.

I think it is pretty well nailed on that Waney will join the NZ Warriors, but hopefully he will see out his contract here.
If he were to go, I could see Daryl Powell becoming a target for Wigan.

NZ have announced their assistant will be in charge for the rest of the 2014 season. It must be odds on for Wane/Brown to be going next season

I'd be disappointed to see SW go at the end of the season, but much less so than if he suddenly went now. At least that would give us time to fill his shoes properly.

I don't think you can hold a man's ambition back indefinitely, but it would be absurdly self-damaging to let him go mid-season.

Re: Matthew Elliott : Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:39 am  

Did Waney ever sign a new deal or is it still at the verbally agreed stage like it was in pre season?
