To worry about whether a player is going to get over a knock on his hip or some other issues pales into insignificance. The financial challenges posed by the Super League season being suspended for four months and games being played behind closed doors have had an effect too, although Lenagan is confident schemes like government support and furlough mean Wigan remain on a solid footing.

On the field, at least, there was plenty for all involved with the Cherry and Whites to cheer about as they claimed the League Leaders' Shield - albeit suffering last-second heartbreak in the Grand Final against St Helens. Nevertheless, Lenagan was delighted with the progress made under Adrian Lam - now entering the third year of what was originally meant to be a one-year stint as head coach - and his coaching staff, which now includes another former Warriors star with the retired Sean O'Loughlin taking up an off-the-field role.

We want that production line to carry on though. For his part, Lenagan has no plans of bringing his year-and-counting tenure to an end any time soon and when rumours started circulating recently that he was planning to sell his stake in the club he was quick to refute them. He is simply looking forward to the Super League season getting under way and hoping it will not be much longer before being able to take his seat in the directors' box at the DW Stadium to watch Wigan's matches in person again.
