Quote The Ginger Pearl="The Ginger Pearl"As much as I think Shaun Wane will make a fantastic coach and have no worries about our future with him in charge, im still absolutely gutted if this is true. Really thought he was the kind of person who would see out his contract then go pursue his career in the NRL.'"
You can't blame him for going really though, RL is huge in Aus and he is going to one of the biggest clubs in the game, the only bigger would be Brisbane over there really.
I thought he would see out his deal as well but this huge chance for him has become available.
Shaun Wane will hopefully make a fine coach, lets be honest, Maguire was not going to stay after his contract anyway, Wane is getting his chance a year early and he fully deserves it. He has worked his way up. I guess the question now is who will be assistant? Should we go for a highly rated assistant from Aus, or should we promote the likes of Radderz? He doesn't sound like he wants to coach, I think he enjoys his current role.
I suppose all the usual ex-player names will be branded about as well.... Lam, Farrell, Edwards....
What we musn't forget is that while Maguire has turned the team around and has brought fresh ideas etc... he has now passed these onto Wane and Maguire says himself that Wane and Bitcon are a massive part of what we do and they will still be around. Hopefully we won't notice he is gone.
Come on Maguire leave this country with your head held high as a champion with the double! Win the lot and make us remember you as the coach you started this Wigan dominance of the sport. Force us to make a flag with your name on when you have gone! Go out with a bang!
