Did I have an interesting lunchtime chat today.

I live in the Midlands and was having a pint after watching my lad play RU.

Into the club comes a bloke who is on the Management at Northampton RU. We started talking about Saracens and their big clear out of players. Without him knowing I was a Wigan RL Fan, he came out with...

1) Faz will be relased from his contract at Sarries, and offered a coaching job (already reported I know).
2) Eddie Jones coming to Wigan is a done deal (again, already rumoured, but interesting all the same)
3) He will be bringing, or will be joined by Alex Sanderson - who is a RU forwards coach.

Apparently all this came out when they heard about the big clear-out at Sarries - they called in and asked about player availability and were told the above.

I guess this is not new - but the Eddie Jones rumour won't go away.

Any thoughts?

Mick Hogan?

Joe Lydons replacement maybe?

Thought that Ray Unsworth is now the Player Performance Director.

Is working on the commercial side and community side i was thinking more like recruitment, development and performance of players. Similar to what Lydon 'did'.

Ahh fair enough. In that case, lets bring in someone from within RL, many many people could do that job.
