The club made one error re Edwards and that was the wording of the press release. The deal was done and nailed on Edwards was due to be our next coach. He even interviewed people for jobs at the club. Regardless of what was made public, Edwards was 100% at fault and shat on the club. The press release should have said he’d agreed to be coach rather than had signed for the club. Error made.
If you can tell me a bigger attacking threat at Wigan since Williams came through I’m all ears. If not, get your red bee jersey on and enjoy the GF.
I usually respect your posts, but if you genuinely believe this to be true then I must question your judgement.
Classifying George in these terms is on a par with still trying to claim that Lockers is a match-winner.
The best you can say for George, in my view, is that he's a talented player who performs in flashes. Granted, he's been playing behind a faltering pack, but while he's occasionally done eye-catching things this season, much of the time - like last night, for example - he's been off doing his own thing, leaving the 3/4s standing bemused and the game plan in tatters. Or he's been invisible. Now, when you consider how well paid he is as a marquee player, that becomes a real problem.
This thread is called The Blunt Truth, and we need to be honest about these things. We know good players at Wigan, as we've seen lots of them. And George has not justified his salary or his reputation. The same, sadly, is true of Lockers, who has been off the pace these last two games in the most embarrassing way imaginable.
Neither's Wigan career ended the way it should have done. George because he's too hit and miss (which won't work in the NRL), and Lockers because he's played on for too long.
