You can only aim the greater blame at IL for being so lapse. However SE isn't exactly magnanimous either.

No you can’t. Contract or no contract, if Edwards didn’t want to come he wouldn’t come. We move on now and either show faith in Lam or find a replacement, all will be well.

Your attempts to sew discord are laughable.

Ian Lenagan is at fault for being too trusting.

Shaun Edwards is at fault for being a lying, duplicitous, two-faced little wretch.

Though I appreciate that the difference there may be lost on a Warrington fan.

This can't be a shock to Radlinski and co.

Hopefully they're well on the way with their coaching search.

... who doesn't appear to know what magnanimous means!

I dunno, the SE sage is like the tomkins contract, nothing agreed both parties go find a contract the wigan come along with one and its too late. Why didnt we get a contract signed when it was agreed? It baffles me and everyone not blaming the club are baffling em also, it cant be so cherry and white tinted that you think its ok what the club have done. Is Edwards faultless? no is he fluff, but to say Shaun did we not say some words and you said so on camera not enough? no its not and its amateur to think so, my view on the club has sky dived this year and am ashamed of the laughing stock the owner has made of the club, its ok touting the likes of barrett about but my god a failed NRL coach isnt floating my boat.

I wouldn't have said it if I didn't. It's him off Mastermind.

Go on then, who else would you put in there?

tickled me that

So it’s as good as announced that he will stay on with Wales, wouldn’t it be nice for all party’s to stop messing us about and just announce he ain’t coming?

You know how IL likes to do things, he has known all this time that Edwards isn't coming. He will be trying to sort the replacement so both are announced in quick succession.

Waiting for sort out a replacement before announcing Edwards isn’t coming is as if they’re trying to look in control when it’s blatantly obvious they’re not. I’d have more respect for all parties if the club came out and said “We agreed a verbal contract, but we made a mistake of not getting Edwards to sign a contract for whatever reason, that has come back to bite us on the backside as Shaun has sought a more secure future elsewhere. We are currently looking for our next coach, Adrian Lam is being considered as a candidate and is in the best position to showcase his skills as custodian of the coaches position now. Once we have something finalised we will let you all know in due course. We hope this clears things up”

rlConfirmation Edwards isn't comingrl

Hardly surprising to us. I believed up until IL gave SE “time to think” (utterly ridiculous IMHO) that he was still coming.

We ALL now need to move on. The club needs to source a new Head Coach for 2020 and simultaneously start targeting players who will actually improve us and not ones such as Sammut/Isa/TT.

Two quality halves and solid props will be a good start. Get cracking Mr Lenaghan

I won't lose any sleep over this, I must have been in the minority, however I never wanted him in the first place.
