McGuire could prove to be the ace in the pack. I don't know much about him but I think he's been on the scene at Melbourne for a good few years which is no bad thing at all. Anyone who has had experience of coaching current NRL is already a step ahead of the competition IMO.
23 - 20 - 4
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
I do wonder where all the massive plaudits from Hudds amongst others were for Brown, Robinson, Hodgson, Wild were when they were still playing for Wigan. I seem to remember a lot of the fans of other clubs telling us they were overrated or garbage.
I think the key to them kicking on their performances is a)What would have happened to their careers had they failed to impress/had disciplinary issues at another club (also known as the rocket up the booty), and b) What a different coach has managed to bring to their games and develop them

When we were linked with him in the Guardian, I looked into the guy 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 have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Brown is a coach who employs dubious methods, bordering on the unfair.Wild scored 2 tries but should have been sent off for his blatant trip on Roby.come on the wire at Wembley.

I think what you have to take into consideration, is the amount of good youngsters Wigan produce. For me, Wigan seem to produce more promising youngsters than any other club. It is inevitable that you'll let some go, who then go on to have great careers on RL. Just look who you have coming through now before you start pondering what could have been. Prescott and big Tompkins look like handy players to me and I thought Flanagan looked really promising against us on Sat.

Blatent Trip or "Player attempts to stop ball from kick with foot, collision with opponent"

For me the worst incident in the game was the cheap shot swinging arm from KFC on Luke Robinson. Jiffy saw it, gave a sharp intake of breath then didn't have the nads to comment on it.
