Yes really. If you wanna go down the winners route, Edwards has 3 prems, 1 Heineken cup and a European cup as head coach. Won a few more as an assistant and has a couple of grand slams. Those facts mean Edward's has so far accomplished alot more that Farrell. As I said, maybe in the future.

I thought Sculthorpe had it all, the complete player. My lasting memory of Farrell was I think his final or penultimate season before RU. I think he started as 6 then 13 then SR and ended up as prop and carrying the whole team. He was a really good player but for me, Scully every time.

Unsurprisingly I'll go for Farrell.
Bigger, faster, stronger and a much better kicker and captain.
I remember him picking the ball up from the back of the scrum in a derby game at Knowsley and going 45 metres to score.
Whenever they were in the same team Farrell was given the captaincy, including Saints own coach picking him ahead of Sculthorpe for Lancashire.
Both great players but Farrell edges it IMO. You'd love to have them in the same team in their prime, both would be marquee players.

I always remember Farrell & Scully coming to blows at Knowsley Road. It was when the winger who came with Apollo Perelini (his name escapes me atm but it was the guy who left soon after a biting incident with one of his kids) and he came in on a scuffle and side swiped a Wigan player then Farrell kept calling him a shit house before it all kicked off as they both squared up to each other.
Obviously Sculthorpe for me, think he is the only player to have won the M.O.S. twice in 2 different positions. Also for me Scully had the better skill set as already mentioned the complete player whilst Farrell was a better captain, biggest negative for me was him going over to the dark side of Union and not putting something back into the League game.
Agree with that. Best all round player I’ve seen for Saints by a country mile. Farrell was an amazing leader and as you say carried Wigan for a few years but didn’t have the skill set of Scully. His best position was at second row and he should have been used more there for GB I think
Lenaghan now back tracking, will be p***ing off many wigan fans who bought season tickets on false advertising

I think they need to give the job to Agent Lam
What a shambles. I know they didn’t tie him down with a written contract but it’s still out of order for Edwards to go back on his word
Edwards has stitched them up, out of order. Before signing an actual contract that he agreed to sign and took to press I guess he is having second thoughts and probably been offered good money to stay in union somewhere
That said Wigan should have got everything in place before announcing, they put themselves in this position and it's a shambles
Bottom of the league and now this, and after winning SL last year
