If this McGuire is as highly rated as being made out then he'd have to be the first choice surely.

I do feel Lams history with Wigan may sway it his way though and the fact that he could well be the cheaper option.

Has anyone thought we may get both?

Mcguire as head coach and lammy as his right hand man.

That would be fantastic.

Dont know just a thought.

I have heard lam is comming over on a 3 year deal though.

That would be perfect

Not sure of the current situation with Lam, since Setanta has gone under lost touch with the NRL but i think i am right in saying Fittler has been sacked by the Roosters and Smith has now taken control this will leave Lam in a dubious position regarding his job one would assume.

Prior to this move I would expect Lam would not have been willing to come to an assistants position in SL, but that may not be the case now.

Although i would also like McGuire with Lam as his assistant though i personally do not think he will come and expect Lam to be here next year as our head coach.

When we were linked with McGuire in the Guardian, I looked into him as much as possible reading every article and anything I could get my hands on regarding him. The thing that seemed to be repeated time after time was his insistence on using the most modern day techniques available, coupled with as much scientific know how as possible to prepare players to there peak psychical and mental best. Plus the growing reports he got from peers and a like was nothing short of fantastic, certainly a man I would love to see in charge at Wigan.

I also think that he'd be good for us because unlike Lam he has no previous history with the club or are players and would bring a whole new mentality, vibe and work ethic to the place that for me is solely missing.

He would have to do more than use new coaching techniques to keep on the right side of our fans.

I'm assuming thats a tongue in cheek comment because for me what McGuire would bring to this club is exactly what we need, a brand new fresh approach with new ideas and a ruthlessness that is required to get are club back on it's feet. I would compare him very closely to Brown at the Giants and back him to have a similar effect on Wigan.

I think he would be great, but he will need results and he will probably need to bring through the young players and not sign more Roberts and Riddell's.

I would be very excited if he was our new coach. I just feel Noble will still be here next year.
