Cos he's a stubborn clown.
I heard him tell somebody his name in Docs a couple of months ago, I was quite impressed with that though!

I think it's a bit silly to question player development at Wigan based on one player who for whatever reason at SL level has not fulfilled his so called potential!!

I think people were talking across the board TB. Ours is better than most in Britain which is worrying for the whole game IMO.

In my opinion cp the OP was referring to Hampshire in particular as evidence for poor young player development at Wigan, however I agree that ours is the best still and probably always will be but unfortunately after this weekend it seems it is still a million miles away!!

Fair enough and yes I agree. I know I do not rate him so I am biased I guess but I never saw Wane as an intelligent player so I cannot see how he would become a fantastically intelligent coach.

Every single week that passes my patience wears thinner and thinner with SW, now one thing I would never hold against him is lack of support, chances, development of youth at Wigan, I personally think he has been influential in it. Having said that as head coach does he then give the youth the best chance of show casing their abilities with his coaching style, not looking likely but to judge him on just Hampshire alone is a bit unfair in my opinion!!

It is. I am a fan but many great juniors have not made it for whatever reason.
