Unless you follow England rugby league, you probably won't know a lot about Shaun Wane – or "Shon Wehhn" as pronounced in the deep,…
Shaun Wane is absolutely fantastic from everything you hear.
Players absolutely love him.
Zak Hardaker really put some insight into it. He got in trouble for another drinking or drugs incident, I think it was a drink driving charge, and he’d just signed under Wane and Wane was brilliant he was like “Well, no I am not going to make you stop drinking, but let’s just explore ways we can manage it”.
Players respect that, he has a mutual understanding and gives his players freedom but will keep them on track and professional.
Equally happy to rollick them and keep standards high though. Which is a balance some coaches can’t strike.
Waiting in the wings (Part 2): The untried
Thanks mate, I appreciate that!
Toovey I can see someone taking a punt on him, but I reckon his next gig will probably be a last chance sorta thing.
Walker brothers would be very very interesting.
I’m surprised no one has said Woolf though, I can really see him doing a job here. If the Cowboys were to sack Green and overlook Wane… I’d love to see him come back.

Not all have been bad.
As someone mentioned, Madge.
If memory serves me right, Brad Arthur was there and he has done a job at the Eels.
Adam O’Brien, while new, looks impressive so far.

I certainly see where you come from, and Browny recruited really well at Newcastle and is responsible for putting 90% of that side together.
But, they didn’t always look happy to play for him. This group looks like they’d run through brick walls with barbed wire on the outside for Adam O’Brien which says lots. Shaun Wane for me does it.
There is only one man who should take over from Paul McGregor
I think Wane would actually be fantastic, if he can get a reputable NRL assistant coach under him, I think he will be set.
His man management is top of the charts, he keeps it simple and is highly detailed. He’d know the NRL very well, I think he’s worth a punt.
