He is set to fulfil the role initially made for Sean Long, there will also be a role for John Duffy who has been a key member of McCormack's Scotland backroom staff.

McCormack currently lectures in sports Science at Warrington College and tutors players on Warrington books.

Taken from todays M.E.N.

Good move imo

Great to see us adding to the coaching ranks as well as the playing staff

He was a teacher at Eddie Arrows

He must teach darts as well then.

Top bloke and a staunch Latics fan.

Think he's only taking the job on as I keep threatening to ban him from the supporters club if he keeps turning up in his Wire hoody.

Saying that. I'd probably have to ban him for his own safety if he turned up in a Wigan RL top

So the Welsh coach and the Scottish coach will be on our back room staff. Thankfully the England coach won't be.

lets hope deacon isnt learning too much from him!

surely we need someone to make the tea

Or cut the grass....

he would most likely get that wrong

He would have a whino and a kiwi doing the job.....

Lovely bloke if you ever meet him

I had the pleasure of enjoying 4 hours of his company recently at Bolton Arena.

It was an event organised by Lancashire constabulary to help with "driver awareness"

thoroughly recommend it, if you ever get the option......

Yes i've sat the same course, it didn't feel like 4 hrs though, but then again we did speed through it

It feels like 24hrs. I'll take the points next time

well if you can't develop as a player at Wigan you have no chance anywhere else, assistant England coach, welsh head coach and now scottish head coach. After 2 years of all working together if shaun Wane ever decides to test the water anywhere else we are well set up.

Must be a step up though coaching a top flight team that's done the double (top)

So is Harris leaving?

No

Well I had about 8 cups of coffee with biscuits, plus pinched a few pens - gotta get some of my £60 back!!

just to add a note of caution to this, the man himself says "I'm full-time teaching at the moment but a few options have cropped up during the last few weeks," said the Scotland head coach. "One of those is at Wigan, working with the scholarship kids. I'll sit down and assess everything after the World Cup."

Therefore no way near a done deal as yet.

I hope he has. How else is he going to learn from mistakes

Bit of a tease, isn't he?

The anticipation is killing me.
