Wane could do himself (and the club's season ticket coffers) a favour if he publically acknowledged that the style of play hasn't been entertaining enough and they are going back to the drawing board to address this. I feel he will stay on, but that will mean a lot fewer renewals and more financial pain for the club.

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

Wane is bad for the game, it's as simple as that.
Load of rubbish. A very successful British coach with more passion in his little finger than any other coach in SL ever had. He loves the game and loves his club. He might not be your cup of tea but to say he's been bad for the game is just completely wrong. Would you prefer all foreign coaches just here for a pay packet?

The trouble is, mate, considered as your views may be - and I don't know (or care) whether they are or aren't - this is the kind of OTT crud we hear all the time.
Wigan aren't just bad, they're evil. Wigan don't try to get ahead as a club (unlike everyone else, of course), they deliberately do it at the expense of old ladies and orphans. Wigan's coach isn't just bad for Wigan, he's bad for society as a whole.
All shrieked at us in Pinky & Perky voices.
You might be different, but the record's the same. It's all a yawn.

Everything has a shelf life and i think Wane's is up and so is the conditioning coaches and fitness coaches. Wholesale changes are needed for me. Worryingly the stats show we are getting worse in near enough every aspect of the game. This label of world champions has been a go to excuse as well " but we're world champions ".
It's a bit daft playing down the significance of being World Champions. Only Wigan fans could do that. Just one side from Super League gets a crack at it and it's rare that we beat the Aussies nowadays. Now we are using it as a stick to beat the coach with. Amazing!
Wane has not done well this season as I'm sure he knows only too well. But I've NEVER heard him use the excuse of "we're world champions". If he has please provide a link and I'll happily apologise.

"PCollinson" is a poster on the Hull boards who's been banned a couple of times and returns in various guises. He gets shown up time & time again with his lack of knowledge about the game, and this bile is his usual sort of stuff. Don't rise to the bait.

I think someone said he was quoted as saying something like "at the beginning of the season if you'd have told me we would win the WCC and appeared in the CC Final I would have taken it".
I've not seen this quote anywhere but assume this is where the "it's okay we are world club champions" has originated from.
I am curious did he actually say this?
