None of those players under Bennett and Sinfield should consider their places secure. Let's face it, they were so poor on the last tour that they brought disgrace on their country (those of them who actually are British).

The fact that Bennett was unconcerned said a lot to me. That Sinfield seemingly was as well is harder to explain, except that without a ball in his hands he seems to be pretty dim.

It's a sad state of affairs though that so-called professional pundits like Phil Clarke have also bought into the myth that Shaun Wane was a poor coach who got lucky. There were times when I used to think he actually knew something about the game.

The problem with Phil Clark is that he only has two gears, being totally boring or saying something outrageous for the sake of controversy. Like a lot of pundits these days, especially on Sky, it's clickbait stuff without any content. He might as well be on here trolling.

What was the answer to Phil’s question though?

Who appointed Wane to the role?

The RFL?

I think he wanted to know which individual had made the decision following Sinfields exit.

Waney thanked Ralph Rimmer by name in his interview on Sky

On the day Wane was signed as a player, the then Director and former player Jack Hylton told me that he was one of the best young signings the club had ever made and would be a future International.

How true was his words.
