• Shaun Wane may have perfect farewell
In the depths of Wigan’s despair 12 months ago it felt almost impossible to believe the words that were coming out of Shaun Wane’s mouth. 2017 was the nadir of the Warriors’ recent history, ending with a sixth-placed finish which left some wondering not only whether Wane could rebuild the fortunes of one of rugby league’s most famous clubs but whether he could actually survive the winter.
But at his beloved club’s lowest ebb Wane – who crafted his playing career as a no-nonsense, tough-talking forward with Wigan – promised there would not be a repeat. “I’ll go away and look at how we can improve and how I can improve” was Wane’s promise in a chilly Wakefield press room that felt a million miles away from the glitz and glamour of the Grand Final.
