Hope you told him it wasnt too late to change his mind Josie.josie andrews wrote:Michael Maguire had nothing but praise for Shaun Wane last night & said Shaun had made his job very easy here at Wigan.
In fact he got quite emotional when speaking of leaving us.
Unfortunately I didn't get time to speak to him or Shaun lol, Victoria Coley more or less commanded my full attention for most of the nightPanchitta Marra wrote:Hope you told him it wasnt too late to change his mind Josie.josie andrews wrote:Michael Maguire had nothing but praise for Shaun Wane last night & said Shaun had made his job very easy here at Wigan.

Poor Stephen was left alone for most of the time 
I don't think anyone disagrees with any of that but there is a difference between a coach being given free reign to sign whoever he likes and a coach saying he does not want a player. If a coach says he doesn't want a player the chairman should not sign him.gpartin wrote: I am a firm believer in a coach having freedom to pick the team from the players he has available but the coach doesn't pay the wages and shouldn't be given a free rein when it comes to signings however if we are signing Lauki I think Shaun Wane may well have been involved in this somewhere along the line because I think Wane probably wants to toughen us up a bit.
Gaz;gpartin wrote:He may have done well with our second team over the years but the idea seemed to be that he would do three years as an assistant before taking over from Madge so in actual fact he is being given a chance a year early when IL would have been well within his rights to go for someone with more experience and perhaps the lower contract offer initially reflected all this? A good coach will work with the players he is given and turn them into the type of players he wants, Madge hardly made any squad changes and look at what happened. The 'it's not his team' arguments were banded about in defence of Brian Noble for a long time after he took over and Madge proved that this doesn't matter as much as people made out.

Lovely, lovely lady & with who I'm very happy to be counted as her friend
He's a lovely fella & he loves it here at Wigan, just happy he is stayingPanchitta Marra wrote: Sounds like a top night Josie.
Coles has been one of my all time favourite Wigan players, a 100% no questions asked player who gives what he takes and much more.
Victoria will no doubt be proud of him.
In what capacity Josie? Coaching one of the junior teams?josie andrews wrote:He's a lovely fella & he loves it here at Wigan, just happy he is stayingPanchitta Marra wrote: Sounds like a top night Josie.

He's staying on but don't know what his job title will be yet. He will be working with the young players & at the Pembec facility.Sutty wrote:In what capacity Josie?
