I don't think Wane is doing a bad job, but I don't think he should be praised too highly for the job he has done either.

Winning the LLS should be a target for all teams, but I'm not sure if it needs to be the priority - however, I don't think that aiming to win the LLS last season is the reason we didn't win the other trophies. Our approaches to the games we lost in both semi-finals wasn't appropriate - or as appropriate as the approach taken by our opponents. We were without Tommy for the Cup semi and Sam for the Play-off semi. We didn't really have an appropriate alternative way of playing that could account for such fundamental players to the get it wide and look for gaps on the edges attacking philosophy Wane has. Ball control and applying pressure to the opposition territorially were not given enough focus.

Has he learned from his mistakes is the real question. Based on the games we've missed Sam and Lockers this year I'm not sure he has.

We might put 50+ points up more often under Wane but we haven't won a decisive match without his plan A guys on the pitch under him yet either.

If we come out of this season with a final victory then I feel his approach may be vindicated, but even more so if on the way we have to win crucial & difficult a game without Sam or Lockers and actually do so - in this case he must have shown he can get the players ready to play how they need to play and not just how he might want to see rugby played more often than not.
