Quote: Cruncher "Perhaps he's sending the same 'message' to Shaun Wane that Ellery Hanley used to send to Graham Lowe, when, in the days of the War of the Roses, Yorkshire would stubbornly keep selecting him at stand
-off instead of loose-lorward (in other words, a message that existed in the minds of fans with an axe to grind rather than the player).
But if this is a message from Hampshire, I fear he may need to be careful what he wishes for. Shaun Edwards must be eternally thankful that he never made any such stipulations about his early appearances for Wigan. If he had done, he would never have played in one of the greatest Wembley finals of all time and scored one of the greatest tries (from full-back).'"
Whatever happened to "I'm happy to play wherever the coach wants me to play"?
If the lad's getting into a public p***ing contest with his club coach, I think he's been badly advised. The best thing he can do is rip it up at Cas (in defence as well as attack) to back up some of his cheerleaders on here and put pressure on Wane.
