Reports in Australia claim that Wigan Warriors have put in a ‘huge offer’ for England coach Wayne Bennett to become their new manager.

Earlier this week, Shaun Wane announced he will leave the DW Stadium at the end of the season after six years in charge of the Warriors – with speculation rife over who his successor will be at the Cherry and Whites.

Shaun Edwards became the early favourite for the posts but the NRL Footy Show claim Bennett – coach of NRL side Brisbane Broncos as well as the England international side – has been the subject of strong interest from Wigan.

There’s uncertainty regarding Bennett’s post at Brisbane despite being under contract until the end of 2019. The Australian has reaffirmed his desire to remain at the Broncos but rumours are fuelling that Bennett’s time at Brisbane is coming to an end this year.

Wigan travel to Hull KR tomorrow night in Super League, the first match since the announcement of Wane’s end-of-season departure.
