The British Lion Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I know there's a separate Shaun Edwards thread. But, here is the evidence he 'said' he was going. Clear as day. A HUGE loss for RL in my opinion, not just Wigan. And Im a Wire fan....i think we lost our best coaches of that decade to RU for various reasons. I'd love to know what 'really' happened to change this. I don't for one minute believe it was a lack of official contractual offer from Lenighan. There's definately more to this given the clear language from Edwards that he was going.

Its no loss, never liked Edwards as an individual - arrogant and aloof and has never shown any grattitude towards the game that made him - ditto Farrell.

Of Course not he just thought this was the best way to thank the sport that gave him so little. Brian Carney says take it " ..with a pinch of salt!" very charitable which people have tended to be in remembrance of things past. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this Wigan fan, I've lost all regard for a childhood hero and the club has stank the town out. It really will be the Long Good Friday. This forum is always full of valuable information. Shaun Edwards says that: “In the end, the game is still the same; there’s big men in the middle, you need two tricky halfbacks and on top that, you need a tricky hooker who will understand the game” I dared to think the same myself, but feared it was caused by typical union snobbery or contempt. I still believe you are a bit over sensitive about your beloved game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe you are a bit over sensitive about your beloved game. I thought with the right people around him Edwards could’ve been a superb coach. If he thinks the game is the same to coach as when he played he’s seriously kidding himself though. I’d wager NCL teams go into more detail coaching wise than pro teams did in the 80s.

Yes, that's way he payed back the bursery for his coaching training that he got from the RFL to allow them to pass it on to another up and coming coach. What sort of 8@st@rd does that.

Maybe he payed it back because he never invested those skills back into the code that funded him. Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.

Available at the time to all who wanted to move into coaching and had already achieved a certain level. I suppose if you were allowed to apply for a grant for being a student in your chosen career path you would turn it down. He applied for what was available was granted it, used it to enhance his coaching skills and then nobody would give him a job in a coaching capacity in RL (compounded by him wanting to be close to his family). Union saw the possibilities, offered him a job. He decided to pay the money back. He didn't have to give the money back, he did it on the principle that he hadn't used it for its intended ending purpose and it had helped him though not in his initial chosen career path. My point here is nothing really to do with what has gone on recently between him and Wigan but with the fact that people who dismissing him and saying he has given nothing back.

Oxford Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 A month discussing some yawn coach enough is enough.

foozler Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Very amusing development. After all the hoo-haa, seems like Wales has only offered Edwards a 2 year contract. And he will be co-defense coach, seeing that the new head coach had already hired someone to do the defense job. Apparently Edwards is not happy, and could end up back at Wasps. Where he will probably get the 4 year contract he is looking for, but lets be honest given the financial mess Wasps are in, he may well be looking elsewhere before those 4 years are up. Little bit of karma in all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
