Re: Coach 2021?
I'm sure that Sean isn't being considered as a first team coach just yet but it would be reassuring to think that he's being considered and trained up for the role eventually. If so then why not organise some stints with NRL teams (Wests sand Souths spring to mind) to pick up as wide a range of experience as possible. In addition, I'd imagine that it must be a tricky adjustment to make if you become the coach of a team where you've been a team mate and friend of most of the players. Some time away could be beneficial. I'm still interested to see what will happen on the coaching front for 2021 and think that, at the moment, plans must be fluid and dependent on how well Lammy does this season.

I agree an NRL stint would be advantageous wonder if Raiders would have something given the heavy English influencesouthportcdm wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 11:30 am I'm sure that Sean isn't being considered as a first team coach just yet but it would be reassuring to think that he's being considered and trained up for the role eventually.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

One name, Kieron Cunningham.
Lockers should look to develop his coaching skills, full time, and away from the first team.

How can we assess how good he is as a coach if he's away from the club?medlocke wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 8:04 pmAway from the club as welljobo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 4:28 pmThink you are spot on with this.The booze hound wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 3:35 pm One name, Kieron Cunningham.

I'd suggest that he spends a season in Australia, with a coach like Trent Robinson as a mentor.

Re: Coach 2021?
By away from the club, do you mean start his coaching career at a different club?
If so, I wouldn't agree with that. Reckon he should get a coaching contract with Wigan and at the start, spend time with a successful coach who has spent time in the super league as well as NRL.
SOL has been the best player of his generation and his knowledge of RL is profound. Managing/coaching a first team though is a very different beast, especially Wigan and he will need all the help he can get to reach his potential.

Re: Coach 2021?
Are qualities or achievements as a player any guide to coaching ability?
Examples to consider:
Shaun Wane, John Monie, Danny Ward, Brian McDermott, Wayne Bennett, Alex Ferguson, Graeme Souness.
I rest my case.
(Not saying Lockers won't make it. I am saying his chances are totally unpredictable and totally unconnected to his playing ability.)

Yes, If he proves he is good enough we can then bring him back into the foldjobo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 7:26 pmBy away from the club, do you mean start his coaching career at a different club?
