I seem to remember Wally Lewis being signed and showed off by Mo, Wendal Sailor? .. Gasnier? It's not like this does not and have not happend.
Depending on our season, who we bring in, if Edwards does not arrive and if we do make a few big signings I can only see this disappearing along with Edwards reputation in and around RL and Wigan.

If IL goes then we'd be in the same state as Widnes unless someone very wealthy was ready to purchase and fund us from their own pocket.

I don't remember it being that way at all. We were going to sign Wally Lewis, but Ellery Hanley voiced his disapproval was how I recall that incident. Lewis was never 'shown off'. I would have been 'over the moon' with that signing.

I remember mo going to Aus to sign gasnier and mouthing off about it and coming back with vailiki lol

Lewis signed on tv after cup draw ... Your right that Hanley wanted more money than him or he wouldn't play... think it was during the Roos tour. Sailor agreed to come but didn't he never signed the contract but Wigan broke the news we had signed him was during the Super League war.

It's not England...It's Wales top job that is about to be made vacant, that Edwards has made no secret of wanting.

Nobody has brought up the possibility that there could be a clause in Edwards contract enabling him to get out of it.

Wales have already appointed their next head coach, Pivac I think his name is, guy from Llanelli. Pivac has then started appointing his assistants too so whatever is turning Edwards' head (if true) isnt anything to do with Wales.

There is no opening for him with Wales, however it is widely believed that Eddie Jones will leave his England role after the World Cup meaning there will be a vacancy at Twickenham. Wouldn’t surprise me if the RFU deliver a gold plated contract to Warren Gatland and Shaun then. Perhaps we’ll get Eddie Jones in exchange, he’s been a guest of Mr Lenagan’s at the DW a few times over the years...

The way I remember it he was paraded on Northwest Tonight (or whatever it was called back then) complete with a meat pie and a happy Uncle Mo only to then turn his back on us

I hope Edwards does come as it will be nice PR and a boost for the game - he’s one of our sports legends and we need to find homes for legends.

On the other hand, I have always been mildly bemused by the desperation from Wigan fans to have someone who hasn’t been involved in the game for such a long time as head coach. I can see it ending badly to be honest.

Whether he can coach RL or not, we certainly don't want a flake running the team. And that's the way it's looking at present.

I don't understand why he would say the things he's said recently, after parading himself on telly as our next coach, without offering some kind of qualifying explanation.

After rock-steady, multi-trophy winning coaches like Wane and Maguire, I'm not sure I could stand to have someone in charge who has such little self-awareness.

The other attention is from Wasps RU.

I think that it was announced on Grandstand??

Definitely not coming now from what I've heard
