Agree 100%

Sinfield til the end of the season at Leeds I reckon.

For Leeds to be in a position to announce their new coach just 4 days after sacking McDermott suggests they knew for a while he’d be going. Perhaps they knew even before Shaun Wane announced he was going, putting Leeds in pole position for any potential replacements?

Confirmed Sinfield DoR and James Lowes first team coach until the end of the season. Sinfield will stay on and a new Head Coach will come in next season. IMO.

Totally disagree that it's still the same game. It's changed massively in the last 10 years, never mind the last 20. Not experienced enough to be a Head Coach, and would surely want too much money to make it worth him being Assistant Coach.

Totally disagree. He has a pure rugby brain regardless of code. Because he hasn’t been directly involved in RL doesn’t mean he hasn’t watched it and studied it and certainly doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand it. His player management is first class and his experience of managing elite athletes is impressive. With the right assistant coach and Lockers by his side he’d be my first choice by a country mile. Completely fresh view from the top down with some new players to suit it.

I would agree with your post, a fresh pair of eyes and a complete new style is what’s required.

The game has changed massively from his playing days. However I'm sure if Edwards is in the frame, I'm sure hes already educating himself and speaking to God knows how many coaches. He spent time with Wayne Bennett years ago didn't he? I'm sure they would have kept in touch and share all kinds of information. Someone like Edwards who lives and breathes rugby won't be far off knowing what's changed and what hasn't and what modern coaches bring to the game compared to what he would bring.

We've just ended one Wigan old boys club I'd hate for us to start another.

So even if Edwards is the best man for the job, or Lam, Furner or Barrett, they should all be avoided because they have a history with Wigan? I just don’t get that at all.

Do you think Edwards would create a boys club mentality like Wane has..

Fight club maybe..If you're not giving 110% under Edwards, your gone!!

Nope not at all as none of those that you mention with exception of Edwards are wiganers. I just don’t want to get a manager who can only relate to a Wigan accent and who tries to fill the team full of wiganers because it’s what Wigan wants. I want to watch the best talent that’s available, if I want to watch a team full of wiganers I’ll go to watch Pats, Bridge or Jude’s.
That’s not being disrespectful to local lads but not everyone will turn into a Shaun Edwards, Andy Gregory or Andy Farrell. We need a mix of local, national and international players and sadly I don’t think Edwards is the man to do that IMO

I don’t understand why you think Edwards would try to get a team filled with local lads? The club has proven that whilst we depend heavily on local talent, they’ll bring in players who are deemed right for the club. Clubb, Sarginson, Flower, Hardaker, McIllorum, Bateman, Leuluai, Hamlin, Gelling, FPN to name just a few.

Salary cap dictates that we need to develop players as much as possible and support them with good signings from elsewhere. The days of Brett Kenny and Gene Miles are long gone and we can’t possibly compete for the world’s best players any more.

I believe wholeheartedly that Edwards would be instrumental in changing the way we play for the better and would have us competing for honest consistently.

What possible evidence exists to even remotely indicate that would happen?

Seriously. I’m confused as to why that would be even mentioned by you.

Talk about just conjuring an opinion based on nothing other than a preconceived notion.

Not just me then?
