Thats the only coach i would have down at the jjb next season

I think all Wigan fans would love Wayne bennett next season but he is only half way through his first season with St george and they are going well in the NRL. We have no chance of getting him.

Forget it. There's no chance.

However, there are several quality Aussie coaches who could be useful to us, and I'm not just talking the big names.

At present, any Aussie who's better than average by Down Under standards would do me, because he'd surely be streets ahead of what we've got now.

Lets stop being stupid for a second here. I could name about 10 coaches of the top of my head that would do a better job than Noble. The fact is we wont attract any superstar coach because we aren't a good side anymore.

Sadly this is the case.

Mr Bennett, i'ma fraid no a chance in hell



But what do people think of S. Kearney?

Dave Furner would be an interesting choice. TBH I'd have been happy with him if he'd replaced Smith at Leeds.

Will make a fantastic coach some day soon.

That about sums it up.

matthew elliot. anyone know anything about his current situation. he was the guy who built that winning Bradford side not Noble. Thoughts !!!!

As if he would want to come to Wigan

l think if Bennett ever came to Super League, the Giants would have first call, as an ex player he always visits the Giants when he is over here.
Maybe when Browns contract us up a streight swap might suit all concerned

You are jonh and I claim my £5.

shaun edwards

Heres another name to throw into the equasion (and it isn't likely to happen) Tony Smith (England and now Warrington coach)

I reckon he'd do a great job for Wigan!

We should of gone for Smith before Wire did, massive mistake from IL.

Yes cause he was a marvellous inspiration in the World Cup wasn't he?

We should put in a massive bid for Nathan Brown. No way he'd leave, but might as well try.

The same Wyne Bennett who's in the first year of his contract at one of Australia's most famous and historical clubs?
Good luck.

Ricky Stuart would be my only choice if I was IL. So much class as a player who has played with the best and been coached by the best at club level, state of origin and international level. He is out of work as far as I know and would bring the glory days back to Wigan!

Top of the list has to be Shaun Edwards with Andy Farrell second in command. Failing that a sustained effort by IL to get Justin Morgan has to be top priority for next season

Edwards won't quit his megabucks contract with Wasps and the Welsh rugby union.
I'd love to Faz back at the club in some capacity.

Ive heard from a good source that he is being looked at.

Cant see it happening though as much as I want it to.

we need someone like lam, someone who has been at the club and knows what the winning wigan feeling feels like, someone who bleeds wigan through and through. lam or edwards for me (please come home shaun)
