Ellery Hanley has backed England boss and former Wigan team-mate Shaun Wane to fashion a formidable challenge for World Cup glory this autumn.
Not since 1972 in France have the national side, in the guise of Great Britain, ruled the world but Hanley reckons Wane has enough talent at his disposal to potentially topple the likes of Australia and New Zealand.
Hanley was this week appointed as head coach of the Combined Nations All Stars who face England in a vital mid-season international on Saturday, June 18 at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Ex-Great Britain star Hanley, universally regarded as one of the greatest players of the modern era, said: “I think we've got enough personnel in the Super League to trouble any side and I think we've got the right man in place in Shaun Wane.
