He was sacked pretty much straight away after the failed test, the legal team made it clear a reduced ban would potentially be possible, Cas then invited him back on a very, very low contract. Wigan showed interest (which I am now guessing was KR contacting him & I believe this is why people assume he signed ages ago), that interest was then rescinded and I posted that on here. Several other clubs then made offers, Toronto were front runners but Warrington remained his favoured destination due to friends he has there. A late offer from Cas wanting him back for 2019 followed by Wigan travelling over to see him and his family and coming in with a much improved offer that he signed.
I am delighted he is finally with us, God knows i've suggested it to him thousands of times! I know many are not but I hope we can clean slate it and we will all enjoy watching him shine!'"
I believe your post. But it does nothing to alleviate the concern I have regarding us signing Zak.
From your posts it would seem that Wigan was Zak's third choice when it comes to clubs (Warrington followed by Cas?)
We shouldn't want/need players that only put us as their third choice.

Just can't see him leaving Aus but worth an offer I guess.
His teams are also quite boring to watch, I'd give it 3 weeks before everyone wants Wane back

I can't think of anyone Shaun Edwards would be happier to serve an apprenticeship under.

I actually hope it doesn't work out anyway. although WB certainly has more than enough pedigree I don't really like how he is portrayed and how he is with the media. he'd be another excuse for everyone to hate us though, so that's a plus!

| In this weeks Observer Waney says he had taken a two thirds pay cut to be an assistant to Maguire, for two years he wasn't paid very much, does anyone think Edwards would drop to such a low salary to be an assistant?

Yes, been his dream since he was a nipper, will have made a sackful over on the dark side

I don't. And I wouldn't expect the chairman to think that, either.

In Zacs latest interview in the Yorkshire Post he says that he pleaded with Cas to keep him and he offered to work for the minimum wage till his ban was up. Cas said no.
He seems to forget what he's said in other interviews.

That’s weird. Why would he have a pay cut for what was a big promotion? Wasn’t he U21s coach before? Hardly a big money position.

| It may explain why all the other assistants have left and I was brain washed into thinking they had fallen out with Wane....

| As I remember it SW was not a full time employee of Wigan his main employment being a fairly senior management position with Tarmac. This was why he took a large pay cut to become Assistant Coach and maybe a reason he is widely regarded as having good man management skills.
