He used to be years ago, haven't heard about him for some time though.

His son James has been at Uni in Edinburgh. I'm not sure did the timelines, but it's feasible he might be heading back to Wasps after graduating, and Shaun has previously chosen his work to be near his family.

That being said I thought he was committed to Wigan from 2020.

I could see this working very well. Dai at DOR could still help make sure we play an attacking game, Shaun at head coach, would really push our defensive game.

The more I think on this the less I believe it. I don't see him as the kind of person to back out of a contract.

I think Wurzel is more likely.

Likewise can't envisage him backing out on Wigan. It would be a statement of intent though and probably boost ST sales somewhat.

A link on the other forum had him quoted as saying ‘if’ he goes to Wigan and that he won’t take their job if their interim coach is successful

Not sure if I believe it but...

1, Andy Goode hints at BIG news that sounds like coaching staff.

2, it is heavily rumoured that someone is backing out of a contract for next season (assumed a player but you never know).

??

P.s. my first post here, I'm liking this forum much more than the other site, better atmosphere.

Think the contract thing was suggested to be player related. Given our new signings at tighthead i can't see it being jcw or Stuart.

Sorry for double post but just seen the bridge article on connecting the club to it's history, Edwards would be a big thing on that front.

Interestingly the poll below that article asks who else we'd want to bring back. And the first name on the list is Joe Worsley...

As an aside, when someone told me who James' mum was I almost fell off my stool..

Back to the main point about Edwards. I think he would make an excellent coach (well.. I meant he obviously is an excellent coach but especially for us)

Dai would be DoR. Edwards/Worsley would be Head Coach. Dai is going nowhere.
