There were rumours of Danny Ward being involved months ago. I posted it on a thread but cant for the life of me remember which one.
heard the same Dan ,Danny Ward was assistant coach under Wane for England.

The line
"everybody knows Shaun Wane will return to the club in 2022" is for me the worst bit
because you may aswell not bother with a coach - there is no way that Wane will let someone else run the show - he used to say how he was frustrated under Madge because he thought he could do things better - he thinks his way is the best and regardless of the validity in that no credible coach will let someone upstairs run the show - isnt that why furner left leeds?
So may aswell put lockers in and keep the wage bill down because if shaun wane is is at the club shaun wane will be calling the shots end of
Hasn't he been a scout for the club previously. There is nothing to say he will be involved in coaching the team if he is in that role.
Then again I suppose those that want something to look bad will always find and excuse those that want it to lookngood will do the same.

The way IL described it last night was he has always gone for an assistant and never a head coach. This would then rule out Wane, McDermott, Ward and Barratt.
Does it leave Peet as the front runner, well IL seemed to say he was an option but that he was also looking at other assistant coaches both here and in Aus.
I'm not against giving Matty Peet a go, but I worry if things are not working out in 6 months the club could have a revolt on their hands.

I dont know if he has been a scout or not or when he was a scout but i say again Shaun Wane even if he was employed as the cleaner would make a point of ensuring his orders were followed thats just him - thats who he is. Like i say the debate about whether thats good or bad is a separate debate and i havent expressed an opinion on that but one thing is for certain in any structure if shaun wane is at the club he is a big voice - that to me is why you wont see a seasoned coach in place

I'm probably most inspired by the appointment of Danny Ward, but if he's worked under Wane at international level, would he be a potential puppet like Peet possibly will be?
Wouldn't be so keen on Mac, Wane is a director of rugby next year isn't he? Barrett appears to be hit n miss. Peet......no smoke without fire, seems to be nailed on?
My concern is also a possible revolt next season and the loss of fans if the appointment goes horribly wrong!
