| Quote ="fleabag"I still recall when Alex Murphy went round to the Edwards household to sign Shaun Edwards. IIRC his dad used to play for Warrington. The rest as they say is history. But he is the most capped/decorated player in the history of Rugby League.
My family are delighted. My eldest daughter is a senior nurse in Leeds. She has been posting all about this on her social media internet forums/platforms such as FB. I can honestly say that the Leeds area are fearful of the potential of Wigan, the sleeping giant - whilst also supporting a decision that is also to the benefit of the RL superleague as a whole.
Lovely lovely stuff !'"
I wouldn’t say we are a sleeping giant but we have been nodding off for a year or two now.

A bit of an idiot is proving himself to be a lot of an idiot at the moment.
Nothing brings out the inner idiot more than seeing your season go belly-up when you were expecting so much more of it.

Lam wants to bring his son to Wigan to replace Williams, he certainly won’t be convincing him to stay.

| It’s great to see two British Rugby League legends, Shaun Edwards and Sir Kevin Sinfield getting coaching in Super League.
If Edwards is successful I can see him taking over from Wayne Bennett as England coach.

You seem to be very friendly with Mr Lam - What did he actually say to you to come up with this?

If Sir Kevin is successful I would give the GB Role to him - Let Leeds look for a New coach?

It may have escaped your notice but we actually only have one real halfback at the moment, whereas most teams have two.
Here's hoping, for the sake of the game (because we need a decent Leeds), that your namesake is more observant.

What do you think?
Him and his alter ego's popping up all over the place - Gets the odd one right and never shuts up about how he was right.
Vast majority of the time when wrong never replies and acknowledges it.

Perfect. But as the Saints site is now virtually closed, he can effectively hide until the embarrassment wears off.

| What type of person actually says " I will bet whatever you want" ? I was thinking an idiot you once knew at school - perhaps a character from the inbetweeners.

They might like to try it theoretically, but in reality a high profile Union player would have to drastically reduce their wages if they wanted to give League a go, or find a club stupid enough to give them a marquee wage, which I can’t see.

IIRC they cont count on the cap in the first year and 50% of their salary in the second.

| Regardless of cap space I wouldn’t be paying an amateur daft wages. Look at how Powell went and people thought he was tailor made to play league.

To be fair Powell was already damaged goods. Dont think we should look at union forwards but there will be some backs that would make the transition easily. For instance someone like Manu Tuilaigi ? would be a good signing.

Amateur?
Powell was 31 when he signed, banged up and injured - hence the neck surgery after 5 games.
Signing a 24/25 year old Polynesian back is a different kettle of fish. I've watched plenty of the Super 14 & NPC comps and there's a real depth of quality there, that sitsoutside of traditional RL scouting areas.

It's a good job we never signed such amateur union players as Boston, Tuigamala, Botica, Paul, Quinnel, We would have been a laughing stock, Oh no, Wait a minute.
