Crazy that he thought Bennett remaining coach was a good idea.

Then again when you listen to what he said after the awful tour you can see why. He was just making excuses after excuses blaming injuries.

Wigan, Saints, Leeds chairman are really turning the screw on Leeds influence at the RFL.

This sentence confuses me greatly

+1

Snap what the hell is he on about

+1 ..............but regardless I am pleased with the appointment. Time to have a real crack at the Aussies and if anyone can make it difficult for the Kangaroos its Wane. Whether we are actually good enough to lift the World Cup in 2021 is another question. We did appear to be generating a conveyer belt of quality young players, but this past close season all I have seen is a large number of inports from the Pacific Islands and Australia.

I would support this signing. We need success at international level and wane is probably the best we can get.

Whether it is boring rugby or not seeing someone in a GB / England jersey lift a trophy is the publicity that the game needs.

First job is to get us back to being 2nd or 3rd in the world and then lets think about Australia.
Bennet managed to get us from 2nd to 4th

In Bennett's defence....England didn't play last year so were always going to slip down the rankings. He took us to a WC final the in 2017 where we lost by 6 points and beat NZ the year after.

It’s not just the coach that needs changing.

When I first saw the thread I thought that it was about expansion in The USA. Having said that I think that Wane is probably the most likely to make a go of it so congratulations.

Pleased for the bloke, he deserves a crack (in a good way now)

So the RFL make TWO good decisions in one day..
Can anyone remember the last time that happened?

I just hope he looks at players beyond oz wigan saints leeds and warrington like most coaches tend not to players like johnstone at wakey and watts from cas spring to mind

Tom's got a lot to prove with his second come back, Watts exclusion of the GB squad was a disgrace

Made up with this, finally a England coach to get excited for

Yeah Watts missing out was bizzare, but at least we now have a coach that will pick on form and not reputation

He certainly will not be looking at players from Leeds

Hopefully it means no more Aussies in the England team!

Shaun Wane gave an impressive 41 debuts to Wigan youngsters during his time of coach. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/th ... haun-wane/ If there's an impressive player coming through the SL ranks be they from Leeds, Cas, Saints or wherever he will be in with a good shout with Wane.

I am 100 percent behind his appointment he was always going to be a quality England coach at some point imo. What you post is impressive. The only thing i do hope is he takes off his Wigan specs for the duration. I already here talk of possibly playing SOL which would be a ludicrous backward step imo unless it is in a coaching capacity.

A fully fit SOL is the best 13 in the comp. Sadly he is rarely fully fit these days.

He spends so much time laying down on the opposition we can't tell.

It's cos his backs gone

After Morgan knowles SOL is the best LF in the league by a massive margin

he's spent his career laying on and interfering at the ptb
