Re: Coaching
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

We all know Wigan make first year apprentices take senior roles
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Just how many former players in many different sports have you seen fail as a coach?
As to having coaching badges, good grief I am sure Kieran Cunningham had the full set. What is he up to today?

Really like Peet as coach. He’ll get better and better.
Loved his comment about Dupree - “I don’t want him to fit in, I want him to stand out”

I still feel that he took the "top job" too soon in his career. I don't blame him for it, but it never should have been offered to him at that stage.
You never know. He seems intelligent enough, maybe he's a quick learner?
But, imo, he would have benefited greatly from another 3 -5 years under an experienced coach.
Re: Coaching
I have faith in the present coaching team. We’ve hardly done badly. Matty Peet’s philosophy and approach to the game is admirable. The whole club is involved. It will take time to come to fruition.
Admittedly they need a pack that can force the game. This looks as though it’s on it’s way.

Re: Coaching
Well said.!! Nothing wrong with critical discussions on a forum, but for some it’s win 40-0 every week or we’re crap.
I’ve been critical myself. The pack, hooker, etc. but looking at the signings we’ve made up to now for next year, some of these are being addressed.
At least give some credit when it’s due.
