We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12937.jpg |

He could only accurately pass the ball one way, didn't have a great kicking game, his defensive frailties were a liability at time; his technique was bad and would often be around the head.
To counter this, he would rush out of the defensive line to put pressure on possible passes by either a) being in line for an interception or b) in position for a tackle. He'd also direct the team to the left hand side of the field so that he could pass from left to right if they were to put a backline spread on.
Edwards' main attribute was his rugby brain, hence his knack of 'being in the right place at the right time' and his fantastic support play, not to mention his great coaching career. Using his brain, he made the most of his limited physical talents.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Compare his skill set to Andy Gregory's, than reconsider your query.

What's Andy Gregory got to do with it? If Shaun Edwards is deemed to have been a "limited talent", then I just give up. |

Andy Gregory = naturally talented player. Shaun Edwards = hard worker who had to work had at supporting the ball carrier as he didn't have the natural abilty to create the space himself. |

Poor call. One of the most naturally talented second rowers I have seen.
Just a lazy git. |

I'm with you Latchy. Some wierd stuff going on today. We elevate Vinnie Anderson and criticise Shaun Edwards' ability. The world has gone mad. If he had played in PnB he would be rightly called a legend.
For those who don't recall him properly.
- Signed at 17 for Wigan - the largest signing on fee ever for his age - still.
- Holds the Wigan record for 10 tries in a game.
- Scoring over 1100 points, in 452 appearances for Wigan during a career of 14 years.
- In 1992 season was leading try scorer with 40 tries.
- 36 caps for GB.
- 8 CC wins, god knows in the league and cups, and MOM in the WCC against Brisbane.
- Played successfully in the NRL.
I can think of better candidates for this thread.

does seem to support monkeys POV as a support player(and i say this well aware of the bar room argument this conversation invokes)
Anyone care to venture on to the wigan board with this and duck for cover?
