Chester wouldn't be my choice but we do desperately need a new backs/half backs coach.
Each week it's the same old, same old.
No new moves or plays just the same old routine stuff.

I'm not sure how he would qualify to coach Wignan other than that he's an ex-Wigan player so we like him.

Think it would be a retrograde step. We need something completely new and different.

If we wanted to employ a HKR employee (current or ex) then we would have been better going for Peacock. I dont know what his coaching qualifications are like but im sure he would work wonders with our powderpuff front rowers. Sorry, middles.......

(Yes, im looking at you Mossop & Crosby)

Unfortunately I don't think courage and heart can be coached. You've either got em or you haven't.

Why not go for Paul Rowley (at present being linked to HKR) for backs coach. he had Leigh playing some great rugby during the last few years, some fans say to much rugby at times.

If he doesn't fancy an assistants job, make him head coach and give Wane the assistants job and tell him to concentrate on getting some fire in the present forwards. :IDEA:

Remember an unknown assistant named Maguire coming in has head coach a few years ago, with Wane as his assistant concentrating on the forwards, I seem to remember it working rather well then.

I don't think Rowley would be a bad shout for a coaching role. But I wouldn't give him the top job.

I keep thinking of Saints signing Millward, who'd also worked wonders with Leigh, and though it all went swimmingly at Saints too, what happened after that seemed to indicate that Saints had won everything despite Millward not because of him.

Leigh isn't Wigan. But he's an adversarial character and a big thinker, and any kind of promotion could be possible if he proved his worth.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

According to Wane ww may be looking to recruit a hooker to counter the MM injury. Bob Beswick being mentioned.

Surely for the love of God we have eyes on the ground in the NRL scouting better options than this!

I see no point in bringing someone in if it is just for this season. We are screaming out for a quality 2nd hooker, so lets target one rather than a stop gap who wasn't good enough for us first time around.

I feel we are screaming out for a big signing to play anywhere. Feel we are terribly short of star talent.
