Met Shaun a few times over the years. He's a very quiet and unassuming family man.
He was a bit livelier in his younger years (which of us aren't)?

Watched 'Time of our Lives' a few times and never got this impression at all. In fact I feel he seemed the most nervous of the three.

Offiah and Hanley came across much more relaxed, due to more media training experience I'd expect!

Maybe not in an official capacity, but he was a top grade coach at 18 years old. Achieved at the same time as Ellery and Daryl Powell I think.

I agree with MattyB re the telly program, just seemed nervous and humble.

Not at all, there's a long list of coaches in the NRL I'd have before an inexperienced ex player just because "he's a Wiganer" and "he loves the club" because let's be honest, at the moment they are the only 2 arguements in his favour. He'd have to prove himself coaching the younger ages first, then be an assistant for 2/3 years before he was even considered IMO, same as wane had to do.

You definitely don't know Shaun. Grew up with him, he's as down to earth as you can get.

In an age of people walking out mid-contract - primarily top Aussies from the NRL - I'd have thought that 'loving the club' would be worth a bit more to us than it used to be.

Quote 21-12="21-12"I am basing it on a TV interview, yes. That's why I put "he came across" Iv never claimed to have "known him" or even "met him"'" Thats interesting, How did you get that from the interview? I remember him talking about how proud he was to bring the trophy home for the fans. He came across really down to earth on that interview, as he usually does. If your interested there is a really good interview with him here news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7300719.stm

Did you watch the Superleague Supermen when Edwards was the subject?

How did you think he came across then?

Were you one of the DALGLISH chanters at Liverpool?

Shaun Edwards has forgot more about rugby than Dalglish will ever know about football (and I think Dalglish was the most astute signing Liverpool ever made)

btw great result today.

What the hell has kenny dalglish got to do with a debate about Shaun Edwards?

You base this on what evidence?

I'm sure kenny won the premiership with Blackburn, the double with liverpool in his first year, and a league cup in 2011??

Dalglish - worldwide footballing legend and idol

Edwards - legend in the small town of Wigan, otherwise, half the country have never heard of him.

Whilst I agree Dalglish is more well known your comments about Edwards shows the typical head in the sand arrogance/ignorance for RU that 90% of RL fans possess.

Edwards is known up and down the country. He's internationally respected in all rugby playing nations not because of his Wigan days but because of his RU coaching profile.

It's laughable that you pass off over a decades worth of TOP LEVEL coaching experience! Different sport but being able to motivate, improve your players, manage egos etc all easily transfer! The game of RL hasn't DRAMATICALLY changed tactics wise since he played. Its improved through new ways to train, sport science, fitter athletes and better recovery options. Edwards has been an international coach in RU and will be fully up to date with all these progressions and in some instances he'll have seen more than guys like Wane.

Don't try and say he's out of touch when he's anything but.

How long do you think it will take him to get his head around a Tomkins wrap around which is Wigans only attacking move really.
