A big no for me Elliot.

I would have Smith think he is a fantastic coach and the right type of personality to bang a few heads together. I also think he is a realistic target.

Fittler has shown promise but i would like to see who he went this year and to be fair if he goes well, he will be resigned by the Roosters anyway.

Combo of Wane and Lammy would do me..

A lot of Wigan fans make this call, but I wonder what we base this on?

Genuine question. How well is Lammy qualified to actually take on such a job?

Lam as an assistant along with Wane to Smith, Murray or Folks (in that order of preferance) would be ideal for me.

I do not think Lam or anyone else for that matter should walk into a job prior to being a first team coach, unless it is an internal promotion of a top quality candidate.

So what we're basically talking about here is fans wanting yet another ex-Wigan name to take on the job purely because he was an heroic player?

This is a genuine question. I haven't heard much about Lammy's coaching credentials, and now it seems there aren't too many of them. In which case, as you say, it'd be sheer folly to give him the top job.

Assistant coach for Roosters and Papua New Guinea national coach. OK PNG didn't win a game in the 2008 WC but 32-22 against England isn't bad considering they are basically a team of amateurs.

Still doesn't sound particularly well qualified to me. On the basis of this experience, it'd surely be better to give him an assistant-coach role initially.

not LAM.
