BBC sports says its Lam and then Edwards

Brilliant news [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2018-08-08-edwards-and-lam-to-return-to-wigan[/url

Lam out!

Gizmo out!

My internet connection is bad. Will they be joint coaches in 2020 or will Lam leave/become assistant?

Lam is leaving after 2019 as things stand. I was against this type of arrangement but I am glad to see two absolute legends of the club back involved.

Fingers crossed it all works.

Set to leave. Probably find out more tomorrow. Lam will be giving a press conference.

Dreams do come true. Hopefully the fairytale all pans out. Its going be an interesting few years.

Super, smashing, great, I actually shed a tear at the news

Im going to print this and frame it

Actually got emotional reading the news. Fantastic coup for the club.

You can add it to the one alongside my comment when we replaced Noble



While you are at it, you might like frame this:

I have always wanted Edwards to coach Wigan but never thought it would happen as with him being involved with RU, Wigan would never have the cash available to tempt him away. So the fact IL has secured his services is a credit to IL. I have no idea how much he is being paid, if he's come taking a pay cut out of the simple desire to do it or whatever. It does not matter, IL has got his man. Well done IL.

(PS, normal service will be resumed tomorrow)

Man up Whiffy

I love the timing 8 pm on 8/8. Saint should do something at 5 pm on 5 May.

Impressive that IL has managed to capture Edwards. Surely he could have commanded a lot more money in RU. Maybe he genuinely wants the challenge!

Does anyone know if the press conference will be broadcast on Wigan TV or radio?

Facebook live i believe

Edwards now has the opportunity to be the first person in history to win the league/major trophy in both League and Union as a head coach. Major opportunity for our Shaun to make history again.

It's a major major incentive and one which I reckon would eclipse any salary. That incentive will surely transfer down to the players as well, the chance to work with not just Lam but also Shaun Edwards would be a major draw.

I hope J & S Tomkins are looking back with regret.

Very interesting press conference. Edwards was brilliant. "And how much do you earn luv" was his reply when asked if he was taking a wage cut to come back to Rugby League.

Worth watching just for that. Both showed that they are ‘up for this’.

Or simply release nothing on the 27th of each month.

And then he went on to say he was earning a similar amount.

Liking Lam's views on how the game should be played, I hope he gets the chance to sit down with Williams and convinces him to stay.

Or maybe he had no job offers in RU?
