I would be surprised unless Wayne's family issues have been resolved .

Hope this proves to be the case B Carney say he's the best coach ever but Bennett himself gave that accolade to CP's favourite (and mine). Jack Gibson

With Shaun Wane as his assistant please!

What about Waney coaching England and Bennett coaching Wigan?

[Wiganer Ted]

Talk about raising standards.
From McNamara to Wayne Bennett in one leap. Good Grief!

Who ever has decided to approach WB may i come and shake you by the hand.

At last we want to take the England set up seriously and to what ever it takes to get the best no matter what.

WB may not be the worlds greatest tactician but imo he will leave no stone unturned in a ruthless effort to strive for the best from all the staff and players.

If others wish to tag along so be it but the call for the likes of Shaun wane etc to become international coaches is just sentimental bullshit it is a different level and takes the managing of the perceived best of the best and there is no one in SL who could do this

Shaun Wane & the likes could learn to be international coaches with the help from Wayne Bennett. Not sentimental BS! I may add.

To be the best you need to learn from the best & who better than WB?

Bennet over here to advance RL in the Northern Hemisphere . The RFL are going to second him to Scotland Rl to enhance the game up here and in an act of goodwill Scotland RL are releasing Steve McCormack to coach Englan during this period .

I am not suggesting WB is not a great / better coach but does nobody else find it odd to give McNamara the boot when he seems to be on the up / achieving etc.

I see where you're coming from CP, but I think if you're bringing Bennett in (even as a support/mentor role to a head coach like he did with NZ) you can't keep the guy there who's been doing the job for a number of years. That would be strange I think and harder to bring the two paths together than starting with a new system. Obviously whatever they're doing is more with WC in mind than 4N.

Just been confirmed Bennett new coach. Good luck to him we may now get players picked on form not name.

I have no view right or wrong on WB being appointed, probably like most favour it albeit we have talk about a building process, McNamara building the squad over seasons. Will that be derailed by WB coming in , who knows.
