Gary Schofield or Shaun Edwards : Fri Mar 30, 2012 1:34 pm  
Who was the better player?

I have been having a debate with my mate over who is the better player of the 2 legends. Edwards may have won everything and Schofield nothing but I maintain Schoey was a better player. I know they were different positions but just who do you think is the better player?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Got to be Edwards. Not only a great player but has proved himself as a coach (albeit on the dark side). And, of course, he's not a knob.

Whys it stupid?

Edwards never won the golden boot!! You may dislike Schoey as a person but he was head and shoulders above Edwards in terms of ability!! Edwards just played in a better team. Also Edwards never won the respect of the aussies in the same way Schoey did.

Also this has got nothing to do with coaching just how good they were as a player!

Edwards didn't come close to making the impact Schofield (not to mention Hanley and a few others) did in Australia. Ask any Australian from that era who was better. Edwards may have won more trophies, but then again Ian Kirke has won more pots than Sam Burgess.

What Schofield has or hasn't become since being a player shouldn't have any bearing on this debate, but sadly I fear it will - as will the fact that Edwards played in the all-conquering Wigan team of the early 90s.

FWIW the OP needs to learn how to spell the names of both players

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Different types of player, Schofield had natural talent whereas Edwards was a grafter. Its a bit like comparing Senna and Mansell.

Schofield for mine, but he lost the plot later in his career.

Would love to see how Edwards would work out back in league coaching.

This. Totally different players.

Schoey was more of an off-the-cuff player with the flashier and more natural individual skills whereas Edwards was a team organiser and motivator who did the simple stuff fantastically well at the right times and had the skills to fulfil that role. Both were lethal support players.

Both just as good in different ways. But yes, Schoey is a nob. :wink:
