Quote:At the end of his career, Edwards was a beneficiary of a personal coaching development bursary from the RFL which he used to help forge a successful career as a rugby union coach.
So he's basically repaying a long overdue debt after ripping the RFL off eleven years ago then? What a hero.

We should focus on players committed to RL. Superb though he is I don't think we should make him Captain in the circumstances.
Me: I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
knockersbumpMKII: Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm

Maybe a statue of Shaun Edwards outside wembley wouldn't be such a bad thing, don't they say that gargoyles fend off evil spirits hence why a lot of church buildings have them ?
It would probably take a lot more than a statue of Shaun Edwards though to scare off the likes of Phil Clarke, Stevo and Eddie when putting in an appearance at wembley. It would be a start though.

The optimist in me thinks; what a decent gesture, he hasn't forgotten his roots. The cynic in me thinks; why has it taken ten years to do this, and; why be so crass to do it so publicly.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.
