I'm ambivalent here now about SE coming to coach, but I did want SE to arrive and hopefully do a proper job. However, I have to say it seems to me that SE really just wants the best deal for him. Now if he was a player many on the forums would say "He is doing right...short career blah blah". Now why do folk take a different view if they are a coach ?

Is he not just getting as much dosh as possible in a short career ?

As a Wigan fan since the late 1950's I dislike that mercenary approach. But many feel that is the 'modern world'.

Now I have to ask , speculative in a sense, due to Lenagans 'austerity measures'. Have the 'goal posts' been moved at Wigan due to this 'cost cutting' ?

Sorry for mixing my metaphors, but has Edwards been denied money to buy players or is he having to put up with the players that poor Adrian Lam is having to put up with ? If so, why would he do that bearing in mind he currently deals with International players ?

I was speaking with a guy this evening, who 'nursed' Sean Wane whilst he was in hospital in recent times. He could not tell me of Wanes medical issues, of course. Wane was shattered mentally he said, but was still a very nice and honest guy.

No and the way he's acted i hope no other RLFC would want him either

With Edwards now, it's clear he's not coming. I think the wait now surrounds confirming who will be in the roll next year. We know IL likes a double edged announcement.

and make believe contracts

I don’t think we should stoop to that level, instead we should remember to honour the lads who lost their lives.

Some will boo no doubt though which is unfortunate.

Woiuldn't agree with booing, if he's presenting a trophy to one of our lads.

A better idea might just be utter silence from the moment he's announced on the pitch until he actually hands over the trophy, then applause for the recipient.

An even better idea is the one above, where we let PJ do the presentation.
