SAd attempt at unsettling our camp before the WCC.



Madge isnt going anywhere.

without Madge, it'd be hard to imagine Rads staying. he loves his club, but i heard the club is paying him very poorly. he stays because of the working relaitonship with madge.



and yes, Wane isn't ready for the big time. snuggle up to any player and they'll tell you the truth. Doesn't mean he won't be ready but his real apprenticship started one year ago. He'd want to be an assistant for at least 5 years before he's ready to ride the big waves.

doesn't mean anything. Ikin isn't really close to the action. he is just speculating. all it really says is that madge is thought of as one of the 4 best coaches in the world. and should be fine by us Wiganers.

Negative rumours are part and parcel of being top dogs (anyone remember Hanley is going to American Football?), and the likes of Andy Wilson, who resent any success, delight in spreading them.



We shouldn't be surprised by that, no matter how tenuous the connection to reality.



But likewise, we shouldn't be surprised that there is always someone at this end who hits the panic button, and then adds fuel to the fire by making stuff up. For what it's worth, I've heard exactly the opposite about Rads, and that his main working relationship is with Ian Lenagan. So which of us has heard correctly?

Moreover, would Rads not be the logical choice to succede Waney as Number 2?

we are all assuming wane is ready but we dont really know- you never do. but it would de daft not to promote from within at the minute

I thought Wane pretty much ensured himself a turn as head coach when he took over from Madge for a few games last season. IIRC we beat Hull 46-0 at their place and scalped Leeds away.

The polictics around Brisbane will be the determining factor in all of this. Bennett leaving StG/Ill at the end of the year and end of his contract has been subject of speculation for some time.

It was also rumoured that there maybe another Brisbane club in the NRL when they go to 18.

Guess who was rumoured to be tipped for that job! Bennett of course! The Broncos would do anything and everything to make sure Bennett did not go to the alternative Brisbane club.

These rumours will upset StG/Ill far more than anything written about Maguire. Bennett is OOC end of the year, Mcguire is not.

Didn't a rumor about pat going to the us to play American football surface last year? And to my knowledge that rumor has died down.



One again let me reiterate this is tabloid Aussie news. Kind of like the mail over here. Full of c**p but everyone believes it. Take no notice.



Oh and didn't rads came back from retirement for free so he obviously isn't at the club for the money.

And the 2nd runner up is........................... Quote The other coach linked with the Dragons job is =#FF0000Daniel Anderson. Anderson, who parted ways with Parramatta at the end of last season after guiding the club to a grand final in 2009, is expected to be interviewed by St George Illawarra officials on their return to Sydney. Arguably no coach on the market is as well-credentialled as Anderson, who enjoyed unprecedented success with English club St Helens after guiding the Warriors to an NRL grand final in 2002.
