Quote: NickyKiss "I don’t recall any talk of us approaching anyone prior to Wane calling it quits. He announced he was leaving in the May and it was August before Edwards was announced. I wouldn’t be surprised if there had been any talks with Edwards but I certainly don’t remember it being a rumour. The Wane exit took everyone by surprise (including the players by all accounts).
As for the fans, Wanes style of play won’t get you salivating at the prospect of watching it every week but when you’re sat at Old Trafford watching your team win another trophy, you soon forgot how you got there. A lot of the people that bagged Wane said that our style of play would automatically improve with him gone, yet if anything it was worse last season. It looks miles better this year but then Lam has been given Bevan French, Jackson Hastings and a much bigger pack to work with. I always felt Wane played the hand he was dealt somewhat. In 2012 when he had an unstoppable Sam Tomkins and Gareth Hock, the rugby was a joy to watch (although funnily enough we didn’t win anything) but he never had a squad as talented as that again, so he won things with a side that would fight and scrap for every inch and grind out results.'"
I always thought it was the other way around, with the Edwards thing coming before the Wane announcement... im sure i remember there being strong rumours well before... it's probably my memory though.. i cant remember what i had to tea 2 days ago.
