Excellent shout, for me.

Have heard this from someone within the game

Re: Shaun Wane RESIGNS : Mon May 21, 2018 1:19 pm  

Edwards plus NRL current assistant coach.

When I visited this forum and saw the heading for this thread I immediately assumed that he had left with immediate effect thus indicating a disagreement over something or other. Reading through the comments it slowly became apparent that he was in fact staying until the end of the season. Who knows the reason for his departure? He could, as seems quite likely, have been tempted away by promise of a larger pay cheque. Let us hope that the playing staff are motivated to see that he leaves us in a blaze of glory.

I think one or two posters are overlooking this.

Whatever it is, it can't be too acrimonious, as neither SW or IL seem in rush for him to leave.

It feels increasingly to me as if this is part of a larger plan. SW's been at the club a long time. Surely he'd look to move on at some point?

Deacon didn't spring to mind initially but I like it. Good shout.

Absolutely he would. And Catalans fits the bill for his “new challenge”. Turning a relegation candidate into challengers/winners? That would be quite an achievement.

The timing is right for both parties I feel.

Gutted. Just seen the announcement via my Twitter feed.

Didn't make the Magic Weekend this time, so watched the Warrington game on tv. I could tell there was something 'not right' at the final hooter. He didn't seem as happy as he should have been and had a sort of detached look about him.

Plenty of mileage in this one yet. All seems a bit wishy washy at the moment. I heard the Scotland rumours a few weeks ago. As we now know, Sam's off to the south of France, I'm sure Shaun will have sat down enough times with Sutton and Bateman to know what's going to happen there, Lockers can't be far off retirement now, is IL as commited as he has been in the past (not suggesting he isn't, by the way) etc. etc. Sometimes, professional sportsmen can gauge the feeling around a club and know when the time is right to move on. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, there is plenty of silverware to play for this season before we wish Shaun well for whatever avenue he goes down. Let's hope he leaves on a real high.

Edwards with Tony Smith.

Re: Shaun Wane RESIGNS : Mon May 21, 2018 4:09 pm  

Steve Kearney with Neil Jukes as his number 2.
