The "Mark Preston north end"???

He was a decent winger but certainly not good enough to deserve a stand named after him??????

As much as I doubt this, Edwards hasn't exactly done too well with wasps this year, failing to make the heineken cup and playoffs could see him outed, there may be something in this.

I do occasionally wonder if we overrate Shaun's abilities. While there's no doubt he drives himself mercilessly, is a born winner and a Wiganer through and through, I too have heard criticisms of him aired at club RU level.

Is he really that hot a coach?

I've still to be convinced that he could breeze into a SL club and take the top job. I'd expect him to serve some (albeit brief) apprenticeship first.

Even if he is sacked from Wasps which i doubt it he would not mover North until his son leaves school. Also if he did come to League he would loose his place in the Welsh coaching set up and the Lions set up and he wants to prove himself at international level as well i think this is a none starter at present but who know in a few years time.

I think many people including myself are looking through cherry and white tinted glasses.

I agree with your post tho.
