So why didn't IL get him to sign a legally binding document?

People are only seeing that he's in RU, and are jealous that the RFU have done more for their game than the RFL.

RFU, like it or not, is the prevelant Rugby code in the UK, and I am not an RFU fan, but I can see it on it's merits. I hope Lam and his squad can turn it around, and believe they will.

Clearly backing out of any agreement, verbal or written. If he doesn't want to come, wh shouldn't want him to, and quickly be looking elsewhere. We need to find half a team for next year, with retirements, players leaving and players not good enough, we need a coach who knows what he wants and players who know who they will be playing for. The longer we leave it the more time wasted and potential signings we miss out on.

He probably is. But it comes across as patronising and not what someone who has agreed to a role at a rugby league club should be saying.

Lets see what he says in the next few days I for one hope he is putting pen to paper with the fact he can be the main man recruitment wise and gets who he wants because atm it's all Rads and Lenners

If Edwards wants to stay in Kick and Clap it'll be because of the money and the over-promotion ... and probably because, thanks to his own dishonest behaviour, he's no longer wanted in RL.

It won't have anything to do with Union being a superior product, so don't even contemplate selling that cr*p on here.

That they didn’t nail down a contract is the X factor in this mystery,I have no issue with him finding a job in union,I didn’t think it’d work,but he’s stringing the club along and even worse Lenegan is allowing the club to be strung along,it’s time to move on,wish him well and get on with either Lam for a couple of season or someone else.

Just listened to Edwards refuse to rule out joining England on the radio, he also said he’s just gone through the equivalent of 5 challenge cups which I took as a back handed dig.
I’m trying to refrain from making a judgement until it all comes out in the wash on this incident but I’m really starting to dislike Edwards and my gut is he’s taken advantage of Wigan’s naivety by just having a verbal contract.

There was no contract signed. Thats pretty much concrete now.

"I actually haven’t signed a contract with Wigan but I’ve been conversing with the chairman and we’ll probably make a press statement over the next few days."

He wouldnt keep saying it if he had.

The contract signing is still at bottom of it all. One saying one thing and the other saying something else. Has there actually be clarity, legally about if the contract was signed?

Re: Edwards provides clarity : Wed Mar 20, 2019 12:56 pm  

I think Lenagen is at fault for not getting Edwards to sign a contract yet everyone is on Edwards back

Take the RU hating specs off, he would make a great coach for Wigan, and hasn't ruled it out. we all try and get paid as much as we can, loyalty doesn't exist in the modern world.

Hey, I actually enjoy Rugby Union but my primary love is RL and more importantly Wigan. I would be equally annoyed with him had he done this to any other RL club. SE is doing his best to make this a face/off when it simply does not need to be.
