Hanley left Wigan in April 91 aged thirty. He then went onto play for Leeds for four years. He played 114 games and scored 106 tries for them. I'd say he was 'in his peak' when he left us.
Agree with the others too. I'd add Robinson into that mix too.

Edwards wanted to bring in his own fitness coach. “I’d spoken to him, promised him a job, and four months after our first conversation the club still hadn’t rung him up. Then I found out they had sold George Williams, who was going to be a marquee player for the following season. I didn’t find it out from the club, I found it out from a newspaper.”
Does any of you believe this?

| Quote: Jukesays "He was taking over 18months after he "Agreed" to join
How do you know they didn't tell him?
How do you know that the negotiations to sell GW only started AFTER he decided he wasn't coming?
And he backed out some 10/11months before he was due to take over, How do we know the discussions with the Fitness coach he wanted hadn't begun, How do we know he asked for or was promised this when he agreed to take over?
I ask it again, was it in his contract that we would employ this other guy? Strange as he didn't have one?
How do we know if the existing Wigan RL Fitness guy didn't already have a contract beyond the start of Edwards Tenure making employing someone else a little more difficult?
How do we know if the New guy wanted too much or maybe didn't even want to come?
There will be lots of versions of this same story but there's one thing I'm sure about
It's Sean Edwards raking this up again not the club
Whatever's gone on he should have had the Brains & the diplomacy to not bring it up again especially when I have no idea WHY he needed to bring it up.
Maybe him & IL agreed to whitewash the story on why he wasn't coming with an agreed mutual statement - And maybe he's broke that verbal agreement again?
Because he can't be upset with the Wigan Club about why he's not here? Since they both agreed the reason why he wasn't coming they've said Zilch, just like he should have.'"
Easy, it's towing the line with a very nice piece of pro Union and anti League propaganda for The Guardian to serve up to it's readers, as an aperitif to the Six Nations. |

I trust Edwards on this. He may be rough around the edges but he has never been afraid to tell it like it is. Why would he need to lie? The dust has settled on him becoming coach and its not like we refused him the job is it? He refused us so theres no reason for him to be bitter and start making up lies.

Ian Lenaghan can be a good Chairman, but he too can be arrogant at times.
Both as bad as one another in the affair! |

There's no reason for him even to raise the subject again, but he has. And at just the right time to cause Wigan more embarrassment.
As to why he would lie, good question ... perhaps you should ask him.
People need to remember that, round Wigan back in the day, Shaun Edwards had a rep for being a bit of a daft lad.
The way he's behaved since that press conference, I'm not sure much has changed. |

Did he raise it or was he asked?
I never got the impression he was ever a daft lad. He always came across as a bit rough around the edges and a bit blunt but ive never had any reason to believe he was a liar.
On the other hand, you would be forgiven for questioning the clubs truthfulness. Remember when Edwards had signed a contract then it turned out he hadnt signed anything? |
