Quote ="Last Son of Wigan"Major error is with Wigan and IL. If anyone is worked in business or contracts knows you must secure a contact, otherwise the agreement doesn't really exist. All this verbal agreement or handshake is too vague.
Considering previous contact/announcement issues, namely the recent 'lie' about John Bateman, it's hard to have any sympathy for IL, especially as he's a seasoned businessman and knows the ins and outs of deals/contracts.
However, all this can be rectified. Shaun can decide he wants the job and IL can provide the investment into on-field talent to allow Edwards to build the team in his vision using his contacts and status across both codes.
Many on here have cleaned their hands of Shaun over this, but it can be argued there's a bigger picture. Who else is obtainable who has such status in both codes? Who else can genuinely attract top talent from union as well as SL/further afield?
Having Shaun Edwards back in RL is not just a massive step for Wigan, but for RL. It's a win-win, he's a proven winner and has a massive 'rugby' global profile.
I don't see who else can bring what he can bring.'"
I would agree if I knew for certain that he really wants to be here, nothing he has said gives me that impression, furthermore I would always be nervous that if the dark side came knocking at his door he would be off like a shot, leaving us in the cack without even a shed of remorse from the mercenary Mr Edwards.
