Lots of links this morning for a return for Barrett as Coach next season.

He is currently without a club and an old fan favourite.

I think he had about 40% win rate with Manly as head coach.

Seems unlikely given Edwards hasn't made his mind up yet (I would call it quits with him now) and Lam currently in the driving seat.

Question is would you take Barrett ??

No, wasn’t good enough at Manly and only reason he’s being considered cause he’s a Wigan legend

He isn't a legend though is he, What did he do that was legendary?

Throwing bullets around Bradford in the playoff comeback game.

So would that make Calderwood a legend as well seeing as it was he played a big part in getting us back into that game, Legend get's bandied around way too often

If I came home and found Barrett in bed with my Mrs I’d high five her.

He decided he wanted to go home midway through his contract and put the cue on the rack?

No, no way and definitely not.

He’s no legend in my eyes.
Not convinced he’s a top coach either but then again, this is Wigan & SL. Still think Lam will be here this time next year.

Casper had more success than Barrett but would anyone call him a Wigan legend, I TB being called a legend simply because he was from the NRL?

so you have to win things to be a legend? Ricky Bibey is as much as a legend as Bret Kenny.....have a word with yourself

Like Barrett neither are Wigan legends

jesus wept theres no hope......

What is the obsession with filling the club with former players?!

I really don’t understand it.

Can we just not go for the best man for the job regardless of the fact that they may or may not have a connection with Wigan?!

Agree. Who would you prefer?

Have to agree with you sometimes a drag pair of eyes is needed at a club and I think this is one of those times

Shane Flanagan

As others have identified Flanagan is the obvious target.

Adam O’Brien

Agree with the comments, Barrett is an NRL great who we had for a season or two at the tail end of his career, ala Bryan Fletcher. Neither are 'legends', just very good players in their day.

Wouldn't want Flanagan and his previous history anywhere near Wigan RL.

Have doubts about Barrett as he's not done very well in his previous stops. Nor did Furner, and look how Leeds are going.

Coming around to the idea of Chris Chester, or keeping Lammy.

Chris Chester is a terrible coach, keep Lammy he'll come right for you

I’d offer it to Lam. Whilst we had a slow start to the season and already a plethora of injury issues, we have been a joy to watch when players have been fit. That Catalan game was one of the most enjoyable Wigan games I’ve watched in about a decade.

It's hard to imagine they haven't asked Lam, that's the first question, after all; is he interested? If he is, you can think about whether you want to give it him it to him. If he isn't, best start looking.

't,
