I cant understand why we are not making Wane our number one target. He is a proven Super League winner and will soon sort out the non committed in our squad. I can only imaging GH/KS cant swallow their pride or its politics.

There is zero guarantee that Wane would be effective outside the very specific Wigan environment. I'd be more comfortable looking at coaches who have achieved success in a variety of situations and at a variety of clubs.

I'm at a loss to think who the club have in mind if anyone? I think right now they are like us hoping for the best that we will stumble through and just escape finishing bottom.

Wane would fit with what we need, for where the club is right now imo. Apart from the obvious Wigan link, he fits like a glove. Structure, aggression, passion, defence, bringing through youth and most importantly, very successful.....All things we need from our first team coach. It would of happend by now if it was going to though.

From what I am reliably informed, we can’t make an outside appointment until the Furner issue is resolved, as we are massively responsible with it. Well we can make an appointment, but the risk is we will be paying for two coaches at the same time, and the possibility that we could still be forced to take Furner back.

So dismissing Furner may not have been because of results then ?
