Fresh off France's Six Nations win, I sat down with my old mate Shaun Edwards for a rare, wide-ranging conversation.This isn't just an interview — it's two lads from Wigan catching up after decades walking very different, but strangely parallel paths. Both of us came up through rugby, through hard graft and old-school values. But over time, we've both had to evolve. As coaches. As leaders. As men.We talked about it all, from the early days and the systems that changed the game, to fear, fatherhood, grief, and what it means to lead with heart, not just tactics.Shaun opened up in a way I don't think many have heard before. And for me, this episode felt special.We get into:Why Shaun hates losing more than he loves winningWhat fear can teach you and where it can fuck youHow he sees leadership and masculinity nowThe shift from hardness to softnessCoaching at the highest level, and what really drives performanceIf you're interested in what makes a great coach, a great team, or just a good man, this one's worth a listen.The Making of a CompetitorGrowing up in Wigan, and early life lessons from his dadWhy grief became a driving forceThe difference between rugby league and union — and what it taught himCoaching with FireThe early years at Wasps and WalesLessons from working with Gatland, Farrell and coWhat still motivates him after all these yearsA Brother Beyond RugbyThe early days of my friendship with ShaunWhat we've learned from each other and where our paths crossed againThe moment he started embracing softnessLeadership that LastsWhat players really need from a coach todayThe evolution of Shaun's leadership styleWhy presence, empathy and intuition matter more than ever

Very rarely does a goalkeeper make four assists across an entire career. Ederson has achieved it this season alone. The Brazilian racked up his goal-providing quad in Man City's 5-2 win over Crystal Palace, marking this as the most successful-ever season for assists from goalkeepers in a single Premier League campaign. Fellow Brazilian Alisson returned for Liverpool to remind everyone why he's the best in the world in a 2-1 triumph of West Ham, while all manner of questions continue to be raised over the goalkeeping dilemma facing Manchester United. In the EFL, pro debuts were made by Luke Hutchinson (Crawley, on loan from Bolton) and Taite Holtam (Gillingham), Sam Tickle reached 100 career appearances at Wigan and Luke McGee played a huge role in Tranmere's remarkable comeback in a League Two basement battle at Accrington.

This week on The Sports Agents...Mark and Gabby hit the road this week, meeting Formula One drivers at the O2 Arena and travelling to Wigan to chat to the best and possibly most underrated coach in Britain. First up, an exclusive interview with three-time Grand Prix winner George Russell about taking over from Lewis Hamilton as Mercedes lead driver, swearing rules and the moment you know if your car will be good enough to win a world championship (it's sooner than you think!). (02:45) Mark also caught up with young British rookie Oliver Bearman, who was three when Hamilton won first world championship. He made a dramatic debut last season: drafted in with two hours notice he finished 7th ahead of Hamilton and Lando Norris, becoming the youngest British F1 driver in the process. So in his first full season can he replicate that success? He didn't in his driving test... (10:45)And we meet Wigan Warriors Head Coach, Matt Peet, whose recent trophy cabinet is rivalled only by the likes of Pep Guardiola with seven in three years. So how did the life-long Wigan fan, who never played professional rugby league, guide his side to a historic quadruple and the Team of the Year award at Sports Personality of the Year? Might have something to do with the philosophy he reads... (15:30)Got a question for The Sports Agents - email us at thesportsagents@global.com New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

After £750m of investment and years in the making, Everton's Bramley Moor Dock Stadium saw action for the first time this week, as the Toffees' under-18's played in front of 10,000 fans.

Sammy is joined by Dan Cooke on the Thursday Club as they take one last look back on a win against Wigan. As a reward for surviving a trip to the north-west, Fulham have drawn Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup and there are mixed feelings. Premonitions of a majestic victory over Man United at Old Trafford is the optimistic option in comparison to the perhaps realistic expectation that Fulham will yet again succumb to a frustrating 1-0 defeat. The road to Wembley is never easy.In part two, Sammy and Dan look forward to a tough fixture against Nottingham Forest at the Cottage. Assuming that Forest players and fans have recovered from an 11pm finish in Exeter, Fulham will have to change their mentality to face a Nuno side that have had an incredible season so far. The question still remains of whether Pereira or Smith Rowe should appear on the start sheet and if Muniz's February form should be given a chance to flourish.They also answer some of your listener questions. Should Alistair Mackintosh be the main focus of Fulham fans' anger or should they be looking further up the business ladder? Is Castagne's form faltering a little too much? And, Sammy and Dan make their head vs heart predictions for Fulham's final league position and FA Cup run.--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.

Fulham secured a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup, away in front of 2,000 travelling fans at the Brick Community Stadium. Jack Collins is joined by Elizabeth, Dan and Jack Kelly as they look back on a job done against Wigan to keep Fulham in the competition.It was not the smoothest of wins over an average League One side but two Brazilians saved the attacking show in the north-west. Two Muniz goals mimic a similar February period for him last season which will hopefully see a continued purple patch to last the rest of the season. The team reflect on similar star performances from Cuenca and Sess as they appear in Silva's heavily rotated starting eleven, and there is a mention of another poor performance from Fulham's substitute goalkeeper, Steven Benda.In part two, they answer some of your listener questions. Should Sess be considered for the left wing? How does Berge remain so press-resistant? Who would they like Fulham to draw in the next round of the FA Cup? And there is a return to the Alistair Mackintosh debate after the travelling fans strongly demonstrated a desire for change.--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.

After a quiet transfer deadline day evening, Sammy and Jack debate whether there perhaps should have been a bit more action from Fulham. Should the club really be re-signing a 36-year-old Willian and should we be seeing the entrance of the right-back that Silva asked for?The Premier League takes a break this weekend to make way for the FA Cup fourth round and Fulham make the trip to the north-west to face Wigan. It's not the most cheery of stadiums to visit as Wigan are in the promotion places for the 'most miserable' fans in League One, despite their pie fame. Sammy and Jack consider whether there should be some rotation of key players, especially Robinson and Iwobi who are facing relentless game time. It should be a fun tie at the Brick Community Stadium that hopefully sees Fulham begin a 2025 FA Cup run.In part two, they answer your listener questions. Is the fan base a little too grumpy at present and is some perspective needed? Have Fulham finally broken their third shirt curse and exited the slump? And Scott Parker rears his ugly defensive head again as Burnley eye-up the EFL record for most clean sheets in a season, but is he really that bad?--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.
