Just Browny Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I assume it is good money because that sounds dismal. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

They're taught from a very young age to shy away from gaps, to always run at a man and never, ever pass the ball unless it's to the kicker.

ckn Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Please keep this as a RUGBY LEAGUE discussion on the implications of Wane moving away from rugby league. If it attracts more vague comments on the skills of union then it'll get moved to the sin bin of the Cross Code forum.

Father Ted Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 This has been rumoured for a while. I'd imagine it was all agreed prior to him resigning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Strange move, but it'll be interesting to see how Wane's bluntness goes down with the SRU bigwigs and media.

Compared to Ian Blackford, Wane is a paragon of politeness, a giant of gentleness, a beginner at bluntness and a saint of subtlety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Rover Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Wane leaving and the revamp of the team that looks like might happen could mean the end of the Maguire style rugby. This must have been negotiated on for some time before Wane left, so he either felt that it was time to leave or he jumped before he was pushed. Wane did have them competing for trophies regularly so if he felt like it he had to jump it might have been that Lenagan wanted a coach who played a less structured style of rugby.

The increase in brass will be key, but whether a character like Shaun will thrive in a job where he isn’t at the heart of a Team is doubtful for me. Good luck to him. He’s been a big part of bringing some bloody good kids into that 1st team for Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Chopra Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I just hope he comes back in time to bring some benefits. If he does a couple of Six Nations and a World Cup they are high intensity international competitions that dare I say it we struggle to match, and that experience will be valuable. Perhaps even for England... But stay away longer than that he'll be lost as a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be rushing back. Big loss for the sport. One of our best coaches IMO. Rugby League: Alive and Handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
