Let's we see what he (or Blease) has to say about it when they face the press early next week. He's bound to be asked so he will have thought about his response. Ironically, homesickness, and more specifically missing his kids, might not prove to be a huge issue long term. The eldest is 22, and playing 2nd grade for Manly. There is no guarantee that he will make a 1st grade NRL half back and we know where a lot players like that head in order to maximise earnings and also experience. The younger one is just turned 20 and also 2nd grade so there could be scenario where both his sons might be better off heading to SL. Obviously we can't be heading into the back end of the season not knowing who the coach for 26 will be so the pragmatic and honourable thing to do is set a date, whenever that may be, at which BA either commits to another year or announces he is stepping down at the end of the season. If that means he hasn't got a gig lined up, so be it. If he does go my money would be on Shaun Wane. He's been waxing lyrical about all things HQ for months now and shares a lot of Arthur's principles.

That would be the end of Sky for me after over 25 years.

I wouldn?t be surprised if Wigan have tapped up McDonnell for 2027 onwards as a replacement for Farrell. Matty Peat is a big admirer of him and he would fit under the academy trained for Wigan so win win.hesgot the Wigan dna and they style of player they like. Local lad too

I wish, I meant Smith lol
