personally I would expect hanley to be named as coach at some time in the next two weeks!!!Like most wiganers id love it to be edwards ,but I cant see that being likely as people have pointed out leneghan is not going to break the bank...he might just get rid of nobby but he would not be in the business of offering wasps and walesRFU millions to get edwards, and Im not sure edwards would come just yet anyway because of his lad.
Im not going off anything but intuition, but hanley is in everyones minds at the moment (due to shockingly bad reality TV) and I think leneghan will see hanley as a crowd pleaser, likely to take us forward and as a excelent 2nd best to bringing edwards back, which is probably not likely at this stage

It is easy to see that he is trying to lead us around the park at times but just cannot get it to work. He is suspect in defence but that is something he can work on, his passes are awesome when he gets the chance.
Why has he not been working on it for the last 5 years !!!
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

If I was leneghan I would be trying to bring in as many ex wiganers on the coaching board as I could....people who dont believe in losing, and have the culture of success at all costs.
Imagine having edwards/ hanley as head coach with ex players like farrell and radlinski as assistants....we'd be unstopable
Get them playing
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

So...
Ellery Hanley - available, but questionable experience and management skills.
Shaun Wane - possibly a good shout, the young 'uns have his respect and he's a Wiganer.
Adrian Lam - available and a darkhorse IMO. Would be a popular choice I think.
Shaun Edwards - not going to happen for a while, but he would be the best choice to sort us out.
Tony Smith - has the right attitude to coach Wigan, but I'm still undecided on him.
Eddie Jones/Andy Farrell - can't see it happening to be honest.
Stuart Raper - doubt he would come back and would be an uninspiring choice.
John Kear - not sure he could handle the pressure of the Wigan job.
Shaun McCrae - no thanks.
David Waite - an interesting name thrown in to the mix, but I can't see it happening.
Might have missed off a few names there. If IL does give Noble the boot I think it is likely to come down to Wane, Lam or Tony Smith who gets the job...

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
