He should have gone.

He already has plenty of experience of being on the bench in the NRL.

Didn't he come close to taking the Wigan job not long ago?

The NRL is willing give opportunities to an English yawnion coach?

turncoat, rot in the valleys!

Just a temper tantrum.

I'd take him back as a player at the moment with the half back option we have at Hull

At Wales wasn't Howley junior to Edwards? Now he's Giz's senior.
Perhaps he isn't as well thought of as he once was.
He'll be a success in either code as coach.
Pity a SL club club didn't pick him up when they could have.

That's the way it works Edwards, you spit your dummy out in yawnion and then cherry pick a job in league.

No thanks, just like players who leave and come back you will be miles behind the times.

If Edwards did leave Union, or they left him, I do think he'd go to the NRL as an asst before looking to become a head coach.
Maybe that article is just signalling his intentions should Union show him the door.
If he did go to the NRL as an asst then it wouldn't be long before the large offers for a head coaches job came flooding in.

He contemplated Quitting Wales for the NRL , then he looked at last months Bank Giro Credit from WRU and thought to himself , buckets of money for diddly Squat ...

Really? The NRL have plenty of home grown people with relevant coaching qualifications queueing up for assistant jobs. Do you really think they would be desperate to recruit a foreign yawnion coach whose playing ability at RL wasn't rated there? That's not to say he wouldn't make a good RL coach but ATM there is no compelling evidence at all to say he would.

No. He wouldn't get a sniff of a head coaches job in the NRL. He would be along way down the pecking order even for an assistants job in the NRL. I would say that most head coaches in super league at the moment are head and shoulders above Edwards as regards a NRL coaching job whether it be head coach or assistant coach.
Dream on Shaun.

Would I take him at Leigh?

No. He's years behind the times in league.

NRL? Wind your neck in Edwards.
