I honestly thought that Shane Wane was a shoe in for the coach...

The season has just ended, knowing IL deals are tied up for recruitment (if we will actually do any), coaching staff and sponsors/kit suppliers (ISC) etc.

They will be announced in and around season ticket prices.

Jeez, have a minute.

Well 2011 is done. May as well sort out 2012

Bloody hell the season only finished a few hours ago!

Give him chance

Bloody rubbish!

Lenegan out!

It's all Deacon's fault

Get the kids in

Pirtek will be the new sponsor and the kit will have plenty piping on it.


What more could you want to know?

It will be made by isc

Wane will be head coach, harris as assistant

We have signed Luaiaki ( sp ) Flower, dudson and possibly Thomas allegedly

Personally I think it will be Shane Warne, that should add some spin to it all





Seriously though I would hope that Leneghan has fooled us all and signed a top class coach from Down Under, the coaching methods down under are far ahead of ours, but it probably will be Shaun Wane , if it is then i will be %100 behind him but I think we may well struggle to challenge for honours.

Can a mod please ban this Troll.

OHHHHH wait a sec.

Why is everybody panicking and moaning like fook already? People making massive knee jerk comments as if we nearly just got relegated ffs. If you look at the season as a whole we have been one of the best teams without doubt. Many of our rivals are losing some very key players who will be very hard to replace imo. We will be up there next season again and with our u20s winning the GF again we could have a few more young stars being born.

Everybody just calm down and let the people at the club do their jobs. We will be fine

The U20s never had a problem

Can you imagine if no announcements are made this week. Some will be on diazepam.

This place will meltdown if that happens

Season tickets are out on monday so that might give us a few days peace

Slightly o/t but we find out if any Wigan players have been added to the England train on squad tomorrow.

Hopefully Mossop and Charnley

Bob on. Everyone knows that only those with an Aussie accent can coach.

I don't think there will be any announcement until after the GF. Nothing to detract from any publicity IL can gain from any announcement. Unless of course he wants to bury bad news (no new signings or even worse signing Thomas!).

what's this operation Lockers needs which will see him out of the 4Nations and possibly even out of the start of the 2012 season?
hope it's not the case. a fit lockers with a FULL pre-season is imperitive

He's another who has looked nakerd in some games and we've even taken him off in games which is almost unheard of.

I think Sam needs a rest because he is clearly injured or else lost his confidence completely, he hasnt been taking the line on in the last month as he usually does.

Its not that the opposition have figured him out either because he hasnt give them chance to touch him.

Let's face it the 4 nations is going to be a bit of a farce anyways, the final is being played before the tournament begins practically with the NZ and Aus test match.

HA HA

. There are some good British Coaches , but the rate that the game is moving down under compared too here is scary, we need to have Aussie coaches over here if we want to compete...as much as i hate to say it i think that Maguire had taken us a far as he could, the guy has been fantastic for Wigan RL but now we need to move on and bring someone in who has coached down under for the last 2 years.

Also we need someone who will bring the youngsters through , MM did it in his first year but this season he has played it 'safe' and gone with what he knows...good decision or bad??? Is Wane the man or not?

He deserves his chance in lenegan we trust he has not let us down so far I'm behind our coach whoever it is 100%
