Most of the great coaches in the world appear to be grumpy sods. I wouldn't hold that against him.

I thought he said it was a step up going from head coach to assistant purely because it is Wigan and the players we have. He's done nothing wrong as Iestyn give him a try! Only been official for a few hours.

It's like Bolton fans booing Gary Megson before he got through the club doors (that was funny)((and they were right in the end)) but... still, give him a break.

At last a voice of reason.

He is getting more abuse on Wigan forums this week than Sam Tomkins does on other teams boards combined. Its now getting embarrasing.

if you look at the quality of some of the assistants in SL at the moment a head coach of one of last years SL clubs and current international coach (albiet Wales) isnt bad and on the back of that a succesful Rugby Playing career.

The Backroom staff is now Waney, Rads, Bitcon, Harris, Deacs, Hampo. not that bad.

who knows it could work, it could not but let the poor bloke have ONE MATCH in the job at least. anyone would think Millward was back

Give the guy a chance IMO. Some want him hung before he has even started working for the club. Grumpy / miserable? Waney / Madge / Lenagan hardly look happy go lucky do they.

I've just watched the interview on the link posted by DaveO on another thread which I assume is the one being talked about. Can't see anything wrong with what Harris said, in fact he seems well pleased with his new job. OK he looked serious but what did you want him to be doing - sitting on a whoopee cushion, juggling pies and bursting balloons ?

he should be grateful to be at our club and not just look like a scruffy sulky little schoolboy.

According to him, being at Wigan is "just another step on the coaching ladder" and an assist in his quest to be "where he wants to be in his coaching career"..
Pardon me Mr Harris, this is Wigan, get real, and get busy....Or get lost..

He looked like he had lost a shilling and found sixpence...
come to think of it... so did Wane!! :eh: :slee: :slee:

What a pathetic post. Grow up and support the guy until we have reason to do otherwise.
I'm no happy clapper but he gets my full support despite any thoughts I had of his in his playing days or coaching days up to now.

My word we have the best fans in the world :conf:
