Quote: FearTheVee "There isn’t a parallel between wellens and Edwards as a coach. One has been an assistant coach in RL for title winninrg teams and an international team.

The other hasn’t coached RL in any capacity that I’m aware of, at least any meaningful capacity, and hasn’t even been involved with the game for how long?

Put another way - if wello’s contract is up this year and I’m offered wellens, Peet or Edwards then Edwards is last on the list by a country mile.which is why I was hoping you signed him!'"


That's your opinion, you're entitled to it.

Just sounds like typical RL snobbery to be tho. Edwards is a top coach and has been for almost two decades now.

This will come as a shock to some, but RL isn't some massively complicated game. He can pick whatever he needs to up quick enough. Outside of that and knowing what he's like, he's probably more well versed on the latest developments than some RL head coaches.

What he does have and more than Wellens and Peet combined, is a history of motivating and working with players across a spectrum of abilities. He is, by all accounts, a top man manager.

Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Isa for me is our LMS. A great guy, loves the club but has limited abilities. LMS plays the pantomime villain better though..'"


Funnily enough, I was thinking the exact same with the LMS comparison. At no point have I ever really rated him, but trying to be more fair minded I've eventually come to the realisation that he's played a valuable supporting role in a pack filled with more talented players. Exactly the same with Isa in his time here.

And LMS might be a better pantomime villain, but I think Isa's the one you want when it comes to actual acts on villainy on the pitch!

Isa should've been released years ago. Wouldn't get a game at Pats. I'm sure he's a great bloke. So's my Grandad. But he's sh-ite at playing rugby and never got near pulling on a Wigan shirt

I'm sure he (Isa) is absolutely devastated to find out what some no mark who hasnt got a clue thinks of him

His GF (multiple) and World club challenge medals and the respect of the hundreds and hundreds of players and coaches he's worked with over a 15plus 1st team career counts for nothing

Quote: Itchy Arsenal "You don’t understand it FTV because you are not a Wigan fan and Saints don’t have anyone similar who they could sign and is one of their own.

IF Farrell did convert to RL he would be the biggest name to come to RL in the history of the game exceeding even the signatures of Jim Sullivan and Billy Boston.
A player known nationally to the very majority of sports fans in the UK.
A name that would generate more interest than any other ex RU player or even the current greatest NRL players.
A player that would attract national sponsors.
A player that would fill the ground on his RL debut.
A player that would take the atmosphere of a Wigan v Saints derby to a different stratosphere.
A player that would become part of the Wigan folklore if he was successful. A story that today’s kids will tell their grandkids about if he was successful.
A player that all RL fans outside of Wigan would want him to fail and pay money to see it.
A player that would attract national headlines.
A player that would be coming home.
A player that the NRL press would detest but would love him to actually play in Australia on a Lions tour.
A player that the English RU press detest but can’t stop writing about him even if he played RL.
A player that if he failed would become part of Saints folklore.
A player that might trigger a surge in kids taking up RL all across the country.
A player that would create history if he could follow his dad’s success.
A player if he did succeed might encourage more RU players to convert to RL across all levels of rugby.
A player that could takes us on the trip of a lifetime or to the depths of despair.
A player who could be an actual game changer.
You never know he might actually be a decent RL player too.'"


I Think you're drunk.

I wouldn't have Farrell or Edwards for a gold pig, ever.
