Hang on just a minute.
I am one of Edwards biggest fans but if he wants to go Wigan should get a fee.
He is worth a fortune to the Broncos in publicity alone. Gates should go up
as well. He has had a big testimonial (to which I was happy to contribute),
and a contract extension at his request.
But most of all, despite what the anti-Edwards brigade would have you believe,
he is a top player and clubs do not go around giving top players away.
What's more, Wigan's well publicised debts are partly due to building a top team.
Why should the Broncos get one for free?
Wigan will have to replace him. On Sundays performance Murdoch is not up to
it.
Consider all of these facts and if Wigan want 150,000 for him, they ARE doing
him a favour by NOT asking for 250,000 which is what he is worth to the
Broncos.
