I have said this all along.

Personally i would much prefer someone like Nigel Wright to come in as an assistant over Harris, he has a fantastic reputation done his time in Australia and the UK as a coach and is now surplus to requirements at Wire mainly due to the failings of James Lowes.

Or let the Head coach (hopefully mcguire) choose his own. I would like it to be Wane though.

One of the reasons why the Harris rumor maybe be true that I can think of is because of his knowledge of the British game, if McGuire does come over his knowledge of other teams and there players is going to be non existent and I would imagine the same could be said for Wane who I doubt takes a massive interest in other teams and there players.



Harris would offer a helping hand having played against the oppositions for a number of years knowing each teams strengths and weaknesses and passing this onto who ever's in charge.



I wondered why Nigel Wright had left wire but he also could do a similar role for us that I mentioned above.

Firstly, why wouldn't he have some knoweldge at least? Secondly, how would he be any different to Nathan Brown in this regard?

Nathen Brown Had Anderson to help him..i understand were LTS is coming from. Doubt we'll see Harris at Wigan tho .



There are plenty out there who could come in as a consultant type



Rads

Scully



Just to name two who would give Maguire valuable info on players.

Perhaps non existent was a to harsh a world but certainly his knowledge of the competition won't be up there with other current head coaches. Nathan Brown had the assistance of Paul Anderson a player only recently retired who's been involved with Superleague for the past decade. McGuire on the other hand could be coming in with a second in command in Wane who hasn't been involved with topflight Rugby for quite a few years.



I personally think that the addition of someone such as Harris or Wright with there knowledge of the British game would be a good move.







You beat me to it

I think it's a case of the press trying to keep the story alive by adding Sharpe to the mix and then throwing in an outrageous comment about Harris coming to Wigan, when they actually have no idea or proof.

Wane is far better placed to act as assistant, or coach for that matter, than Harris. He knows the players. has their respect and knows what it means to wear the cherry and white.

We should get past players in different roles.

Just like Shaun Edwards....

That's right just like Shaun Edwards and that's why I'd probably be in the minority in saying that were Edwards available to be are coach for next year, I personally wouldn't want him as head coach but rather as second in command due to the fact that he's been out of the game for a such long time.

Sorry to be labouring this point but having Shaun Edwards as number 2 leaves you in a worse position than having Shaun Wane, doesn't it? How would he be able to offer any advice to such as McGuire about current RL players that McGuire couldn't already glean elsewhere?
