Put it this way; IL has a gentlemans agreement with one of the biggest legends this club has outside of Billy Boston. Club legend shakes hand, has pictures taken and says 'yep, cant wait to take over'. You have to surely take SE at his word? You wouldnt think 'ah yeah hes going to screw Wigan over', are you? Of course you get a contract signed asap afterwards, that is a huge oversight, but lets not kid ourselves here - Edwards is playing us like a banjo and should be castigated by anyone and everyone involved in RL.

Edwards to Leeds

Never know what to think about Brian McDermott, but I suspect the fact that he became inept after losing his cadre of star players and on-field leaders said a lot about his role in the victories before then.

Anyway, didn't he work for IL once before, and it didn't end badly?

Strongly suspect we'll never see him at Wigan.

He was London Broncos coach appointed by IL when he owned them.

IL always talks positively about him as well I think, but we probably can't afford to pay him what Toronto are paying him.
