As well as Edwards is doing in Union he isn't doing it all alone.

At Wasps he has Ian Mcgeechan as his Director of Rugby who is a top coach and Gatland as Head coach of Wales who is another top notch coach.

Anyone who thinks Edwards could come in as Head coach at Wigan and change the fortunes immediately is a bit off the mark imo.

The clips of Edwards during the six nations he seems entranced with the game as if he is on the pitch taking every hit and making every tackle such passion from a coach not seen as this from anyone else, Gatland next to him seems very calm and just taking the game in. Do you need a calm coach? I’d rather have one filled with passion and a desire to win at all costs.

i would be surprised if he really need that extra 50k a year or whatever it is.
if we have a dodgy year and noble is replaced then it would be the perfect time to bring in edwards or dare i say it farrell as an assistant as -neil- said.


Seriously, stop dreaming. Just stop.

Edwards is not coming to Wigan. He's happy, he's coining it, his job is nowhere near done yet and he's a professional. There is one reason to come to Wigan, and a million to stay where he is.

[quote="p1e e8ter"]4 years ago the Welsh were the whooping boys of the Six Nations.... they got Edwards and now look at them...[/quote]

Four years ago Wales won the Grand Slam....however I take your point, it would have been better if you'd said 18 months ago

One reason is sometimes all you need.

Stop pretending there's no romance in the world.

I seem to remember when Noble was appointed shortly after the press mentioned his name being linked to wigan and his reply was something along the lines of he was glad he was never officially approached as he would have found it too dificult to turn down.

Regards Wales i think although he clearly has been a major influence people neglect the impact Warren Gatland has had and his ability,

People like Gatland surround themselves with quality people and that in turn makes them look better and there job easier.

Much of the skill of a coach in my opinion is down to the ability to select there support staff and surround themselves with quality support.

When we spoke to Offiah last year at an evening dinner, Offiah told us Edwards is not far away from him near Chiswick, and Edwards is settled there and will be for the future because of the contact with his son.

I don't think it's any coincidence that where Edwards has been 'successful' Gatland has been the head coach. Gatland is the mastermind. Edwards is good and if Noble did leave he would be my preferred choice as a replacement but lets not overstate his achievements in RU.

It's too big a risk for me, swapping one of the most successful coach in SL for a bloke who hasn't been involved in RL for years seems madness on paper. We've only lost a few games, no need for sweeping changes in my opinion.
