At a sportsmans dinner last November, Shaun Wane was guest speaker. He said then that there would be big changes for the 2019 season. "Sutton and Bateman are leaving, going to Australia"
So I suspect Wigan then were already looking at Greenwood as his replacement but the Joel incident allowed them to bring him in early.
Wane was also asked about a current player if he had the ability to become a future Wigan coach.
His honest answer, "As a rugby coach, no problem, BUT only 30% of the job is coaching, the other 70% is dealing with all the other poop that goes with it"
I wonder Wane has had enough of the "other 70%"?

I'd love to know what this other 70% is. Most if not all policy announcements, press releases and so on come from Rads/IL. In fact it's quite rare Wane is seen to be involved with anything other than first team affairs. I doubt he is allowed to negotiate the players salaries for example or is involved in arranging such things as the Oz trip or book the team bus for away games!
