| First, here's the 'glass half empty' fan's response (just thought I'd get this in before one of them actually does).
Edwards - Too long out of the game.
Farrell - Messed up his big coaching chance with England RU.
Ford - Mismanaged Sam Burgess.
Deacon - Betrayed us.
Lam - There are rumours about mysterious off-field behaviour that make him totally the wrong choice.
Furner - Would rather be at Leeds.
Madge - Left last time at the first opportunity.
Bennett - Has already said no.
Now, here are my thoughts.
Edwards - Yes, any time. He still lives and breathes Wigan RL, and is a scholar of the game.
Farrell - Unsure. Suspect he would want equally big money to Edwards, but has a less impressive coaching record in RU.
Ford - Unsure. Don't follow RU sifficiently to know how successful he's been, and it's true - he didn't come over well during the Sam Burgess debacle (would also probably mean that we could never sign Sam).
Deacon - Don't know. Has he got what it takes?
Lam - Yes, any time. Another big Wigan guy, who has earned big notices down in Aus.
Furner - Don't know.
Madge - Yes, any time.Though I doubt it will happen.
Bennett - Ditto.

| People talking about Lachlan Lam but Adrian has already said that if Lachlan comes he will only be here for a year. That doesn’t help with continuity again, unless Edwards gets to pick someone to sign for us for when he starts.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Do you think they’ll be ready come 2020? Hearing good things on both but we may just need somebody to plug a gap for a year or two around then to give them chance to come through. That’s assuming Williams stays as well because if he goes then we’ll probably need two players aside from the year of Lam between now and the start of 2020.

Shorrocks and Woods and Hampshire before them were also waiting in the wings. I like the young wiganers as much as anyone, but they don’t always develop to be the players we expect.
